Next of Kin Fraud

[Lonnie]

To whom it may concern,
I just received an E-mail of similiar nature regarding location of next of kin...also referring to the 21 day deadline....This (would be too good to be true) Would be a great thing if it would occur...I could sure use the cash (haha)..anyway I thought I would pass this on...I'll try to attache the E-mail and would appreciate any feedback from anyone familiar with such occurances..I certainly would be thrilled if it is legit and I am next of kin.
....Thanks.
Sincerely,
Lonnie Sigman

I just got a spam email about being the next to kin and they asked for my full name, contact address, and phone number. Could they use these to create a false credit card or something? The email address that it was sent from was: Barrister Anderson <barrister_anderson@msn.com> and I naively sent it. Now what can I do to keep this from effecting me. Please reply and tell me what I can do.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name to locate any of his relatives hence I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$10.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Company in Lome/Togo where this huge amount was deposited in a trunk box under the coverage of family valuables. The said security company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or there will have this box confiscated within the next twenty one official working days as they don't know the content of the box.

Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for over 2years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,so that the proceedings of this box can be transfer to you.

I received something like that too from Paul Anderson 2 months after the 911 Attack. But I didn't bother myself coz I have no relative of the name Anderson is telling me of.
