does anyone actually do this? I know I've asked the question before, but I get so many of these emails, I can only guess that some people actually fall for this scam.

I did receive the same scam-same concept, different details. I couldn't figure out what it was they were trying to get from me, so I responded. I haven't figured out yet what they're after, but now I'm really curious! If anybody else has had any luck, let me know, and I'll keep you posted!

We have recieved a similiar e-mail but different details, we went along with the instructions. Then they wanted us to send money to an Hon.Bank Attorney to retrieve vital documents stating we were the next of kin to inherit the funds to our personal bank account. They said we had 72 banking hours to respond, we didn't know if this was for real so we did some research and found that this was a scam!
