Just got an email that said so:



From: Yeast, Carol J.
To: ********************
Sent: Fri 2/11/2011 7:29 AM

Subject: the late Sir John Paul Getty Jr

we wish to notify you once again that the late Sir John Paul Getty Jr.
made you one of the beneficiaries to his (WILL).

For more information contact me at my email: info@charlesrussellllp.co.uk<mailto:...ssellllp.co.uk>

Yours in services,
Charles Russell Esq.
Email: info@charlesrussellllp.co.uk<mailto:...ssellllp.co.uk>






And I *know* it's not a scam because it's not one of those stupid emails from a "Nigerian prince" that only an idiot would fall for. Woo hooooooo!!!!!

Good deal! Just give him your bank account number, SSN, and cash a check for more than the will gives you, returning the difference, and you're rich!

Damn dude, sounds like you're ready to live the high life.

Wasn't there a poster here a few years ago who was actually going to go cash the check from one of these schemes? I forget how they turned out.

Be careful of her - I understand that she can give you a nasty infection.

I don't remember a thread about one of the financial schemes but there was a great one on 00Funk and his Russian Bride emails but I think the thread may have been deleted.
