No,  when you receive an email like that, it is a scam.  You can be assured of that.  Never give money or your bank account information to anyone who contacts you over email.\n\nPlease see the website below for further information.

OH MY GOSH YES SIR I DO!!  Depending on the mood I am in I either play along, so far as to sound eager and very willing!! or, I will suggest that they use the money to educate the people that work for them!! Most of the emails I have received, the spelling has been horrendous, or not that I can really talk, their grammar and punctuation is lacking!!  Then their are the days where I just check the box, and hit the spam button!!  What I wonder is, do they just mail them out to all of us?, or do they "hmmmm, this persons name is Sue Smith, I bet she would love to be involved in an illegal scam!! Let's give her a shout!"  Have a great day all!

I get those emails at least once a week.\n\nOne email came from a Yahoo! address.  I forwarded the email with the headers to abuse@yahoo.com, AND copied the sender.  In the body of the email I requested that the person be investigated for fraud.\n\nScammer actually sent me another email asking for my contact info, so we could discuss "business!"\n\nI guess they will keep going as long as people fall for them.

No, don't trust it. My suggestion is delete the email, and don't visit any links on it. Probably a hoax or a virus or something.

If you actually know this person idk ... But if this was a random email, it's a scam. Plus I don't know what it is about Nigeria, but a lot of email scams seem to come from there. I'm not trying to be racist or anything. A lot of email scams actually do come from there, I get them constantly ... saying I won $3.5 million and all kinds of stuff lol \n\nAnother common one from Nigeria is, they say they want you to cash a check for them and wire them the money, and that you can keep some of it. The thing is, they send a fake check, but by the time you realize it's fake, it's too late

This is a scam and has been recognized as such for quite a while now.  You can find out about it at: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/microsoft-aol.asp

May 1,2006\nI also received a similar letter and am wondering the same thing.  I did call however and spoke with a rep.  She told me that I should deposit the check, and then call her back and she would give me the information on who I should contact to claim my "prize".  I have yet to take any further action.  I am curious to see how many people have received this letter and where they all live.  I live in Atlanta.  If any one else has any more information please post it!\n\nMay 2, 2006\nI called a local consumer advocate number and they recommend that I shred the check. That even though the check looks real and that in three days the funds may appear in my account but the check actually takes up to a week to completely to go through, and since the dead line to complete the transaction is May 5 by Monday they will have cashed the cashiers check and their check from J P Morgan will have bounced. Kristi please let us know what happened.

its probably just a scam and spam sight. they'll make you do surveys and sign up for stuff saying that you'll get a check. then they just send you spam. i wouldn't be suprised if you never recieve a check in the mail

Did you sign up with any websites to fill out surveys?  If not then they are probably just spam.  I have signed up for free with a few companies that pay me to read emails and fill out surveys.  I have also received real checks from them.  Here is a website with a list and an explanation of each site.  http://www.geocities.com/bj84015/makemoneyonline.htm\n\nIf you have any questions just send me an email.  \nRemember, don't pay money to fill out surveys and get paid.  If a company wants you to do something for them you shouldn't have to pay a dime.

This scam has been going around for a while now. It eventually reaches the inboxes of thousands of email users.  When the money doesnt arrive, a lot of them will send an email to Charles S Bailey (genuine email address), probably causing his company's server to shutdown.  Another form of online vandalism!!!
