The scamming is totally getting out of hand and the sad thing is, nothing is ever done about it.
My brother got an email a few weeks ago from a lady. She said she was dying and they she wanted him to have her inheritance. Yep you guessed it, 5million dollars. She said she didn't want to leave it her kids because they were greedy and didn't deserve it. I told him to google her name and he did and she was a nigerian scammer.
It makes me sooo mad that these stupid nigerians are preying on innocent people's money.

There are now so many scams out there that you can't believe anything anymore!!
I am so sorry they did this to you, that is pretty low and sick!! Glad you knew it was a scam though!!
