This scam not only targets those people who would take advantage of a wealthy lady who thinks you helped her out, but also those honest people who would notify her that she has made a mistake.
If you go along with the plan, and you lose everything, that is on you. However, should you think that this letter is real and inform her of the mistake, she’ll thank you and offer you a reward for your kindness.
Either way, once you respond and give her your personal information and pay handling fees, you’ll never hear from her again.
Of course, there is no her, or him, but more like them. It’s a group of con-artists that make their living taking from others. Don’t fall for it, and to help you compare your letter to others, I’ve included mine below.
