If you received an email from unknown person, just put it in the spam folder or delete it.

Usually, other people have been victims of the same thing: just copy and paste a sentence of the email you received to Google to see; or you can search a keyword with the word “hoax”, “scam”, or “rip-off” … depending of the type of email.

If you want to play with the scam person you can ask him/her (because you don’t know who) to send you a picture with a sheet saying something like this: “Hi! My name is “This and this”, I am not a hoax or a scam; I am a real person.”

If it is too good to be true, it is usually not true. Beware!

I asked “her“ to send a picture with a paper where “she’ would write that “she” is real; “she” did not do that. But rather “she” sent me a longer email where “she” talked about $5.6M that “her” deceased father had in bank account…

After “she” asked for:

1.Your Full Legal Names……….
2.Contact Addresses……….
3.Phone Number………
4.Nationality…….

What is the next letter going to be about? — “She” will certainly ask for some money or fee to pay again and again…

Again, Beware!
