OK everyone. Lawyers do not use gmail. These are all variations of the dying man/woman scam. They are known as 'Money box scams'. The situation changes, but it always involves you being contacted about a large amount of money. The scam? At some point, when they have you thinking you'll get something for nothing, is to convince you to send a 'fee' to help move the money along. It could be taxes on a lottery win, airport fee, courier service - you name it. They are all very simple Nigerian advance fee scams. You send money = you get nothing. Would everyone PLEASE check the settings on your Facebook accounts. And stop 'friending' strangers. If they say they are a 'friend' of Joe/Sally - contact Joe/Sally FIRST. If Joe/Sally don't know who they are, & just clicked 'accept', tell Joe/Sally they aren't too swift.
