years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds
of this deposit ($44 million dollars) be SENT to you and then you and
I can share the money.60% to me, 40% to you .

please you are free to give your own opinion on this sharing modality

The sad thing is, there are stupid people out there that fall for this crap.

They did a segment on Dateline about it. Even met with the scammer with hidden cameras and the works.

Kinda funny and pathetic at the same time.
