I have been emailed by 3 different people offering money by, 1. putting up some money up front so I could collect $2.5 million dollars. 2. putting up money up front to collect from a deceased relative, (that I never heard of or are any way related to) to collect $250,000. They had the audacity to send me their passport info and wanted to know my banking info so they could transfer the funds. 3. Please send money so I can get home, I am stuck here (wherever) and don't have the money to get back home, etc. etc. Do not fall for these claims. There are too many instances of fraud and identity theft.
