SPAM SPAM SPAM!!!

I Received a odd email concerning a woman who's Father died and seemed to have inherited a large sum of money.
I am not sure what to do since i am only a teenager yet i do enjoy ARGs due to liking puzzles and there stories.
It i from unfourm and i would like to know what to do i cant say anymore due to the woman wanting to keep the letter a secret.
If i could get 20% of such money it would make my life so much better,and my father happy.

*****Change title to reflect subject. Please remember to check the stickied thread "[Analysis] Could that email or IM be a trailhead, or SPAM?" before posting trailheads. Thanks ~ Pixie

it sounds like the spam letter that has been going around. Ignore it. The admins are aware of one member abusing the system to send out these emails. If you want to compare yours with previously reported emails, check out the posts in the Report SPAM thread.

Lol i'll give you a small tip: anything that you get via email that offers you money = spam... well at least 99.9% of the time...

Seriously, have you people never seen this scam before? (and that's what it is, a scam, not spam)
