[QUOTE="Deleted Member 333v73x, post: 496210"] I got something similar on Skype, somebody put in a very long paragraph - somebody with the same second name as me has died and the person who said it claimed he worked for a bank in India trying to find the heir to his millions. It looked very professional (with a VPN obviously) I replied saying can you show me some ID? and then he (in slang and using 'u' instead of 'you') give me your e-mail. I used a masked one and still recieved nothing. I again said give me some ID and he just said give our bank £900 via a P.O Box and then we will tell you where to go and give you the millions you deserve :p What I did: [LIST=1] [*]Found his IP and sent it to all the authorities I could. [*]Reported him to Skype. [*]Blocked him. [/LIST] Please don't ignore these scammers! People are losing hard earned money because of these false claims, report them! [/QUOTE]
