I can\u2019t imagine how anyone can fall for these phishing scams, but pretty much every day there are people who find their way to my blog through keyword searches related to them. On the one hand, I\u2019m glad that they are at least looking for further information. On the other hand, one shouldn\u2019t need to check. No windfalls of cash are going to suddenly be offered to you out of nowhere. Get rich quick schemes are consistently get poor<\/em> quick scams<\/em>. Don\u2019t ever treat them as authentic. Even if you don\u2019t find clear confirmation, assume they aren\u2019t genuine. If an actual lawyer representing someone you actually knew wants to get their inheritance to you, they will not send a random generic e-mail. And of course, when the e-mail claims to come from one place, and the end of the e-mail shows it comes from another country and\/or a free e-mail provider, that is a dead giveaway.<\/p>\n
