I was recently sent what I believe to be a fraud/scam email from Africa
offering investment
opportunity for a share in millions of dollars due to somebody's death and
unclaimed wealth.
I believe whoever did it found my email address from my postings in this
newsgroup in late
September. Be wary.
Has anyone here also experienced the same type of thing?
I'm just trying to confirm.
See

for more details and variations of these types of scams, and please, don't
get tricked!
