The hard facts are that in the two plus years that I have been running this website I have not been in touch with ANYONE who has gotten millions of dollars by paying processing fees of a few hundred dollars.
Everyone that I have heard from that has sent money to these people (and I use the term loosely) has LOST MONEY to scammers.
So – do yourself a favor… stop dreaming about the millions of dollars you are going to receive from this unsolicited offer and delete the email. It is not even worth talking about – just delete the email and move on.
Here are the keys – consider this a gift certificate to ‘the clue store’:
1) If you receive an offer that sounds too good to be true – it is.
2) If you receive a fabulous offer and they want money up-front (otherwise known as the ‘advance fee’ in Advance-Fee Fraud) do not send them money – it is a scam.
Here’s our new article – How to Identify and Avoid E-Mail Scams.
