I am a parent. Full time working in an office as a customer service representative. While browsing on Facebook, a Facebook account named Elizabeth Lawrence with an email address of [email protected], send me a message about being her next of kin. I am shocked. At first I really thought this woman is real. She's sending me words of wisdom from God that I am her daughter through Christ and promised to send me an amount of 5 million USD which is so much impossible. I looked through LinkedIn account of the bank and the website and I don't see any person named Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo as their staff or manager. Then they emailed me about sending them my bank information. Luckily, I found this website. They didn't know that I already knew it's a scam. I wanna play along. I wanna make them taste their own karma. Thank you for letting us know that they're a scam. Thank you so much!

Playing along with them is a really dumb thing to do as they have access to a lot of not only your personal details , but those of your friends and family from Facebook.

The best thing you can do is just block them and stop responding. Don't accuse them of being scammers, just disappear and leave them wondering what went wrong.
