Of course the scam e-mail’s not true! Don’t be so gullible. If you haven’t partaken in a lottery (or whatever else the scammers say you’re able to receive money through) why are you receiving money? Use your heads and you should never reply to scammers and tell all your friends not to reply to such emails as well.

I just recieved an e-mail stating that the fbi has finished investigating a claim and I am entitled to 6.5 million dollars and to contact Amanda White. She wants me to send a $130 dollar fee for processing. It also says if I do not have the fee then don’t bother contacting her. I literaly laughed out loud. This is clearly a scam and hopefully no one sends them money. It also tries to make it sound legitimate by denouncing the Nigerian scam artists. Who do they think they are fooling? Anyway there’s my two cents
