looking for advice on a strange email

here is a strange email (i tried to copy it here but it wouldnt work) i just recieved anyone know anything about this???

Dear Kevin Dall
I am the attorney of a deceased man (Steve Dall) with which you share the same last name. it says Steve was a private oil worker over seas and he left 3.8m usd in the Trustee bank. and he wants me to claim it and split it 60/40?? i wish i could post it here. should i turn this in to someone or delete it and forget it?

You shouldn’t even need to ask.

Delete.

Sounds fishy. I would not lose any sleep over it. But I would check it out without giving up any personal information.

Dont worry, its definately a scam. Ive had about 20 of them over the last 3 years. Once I even let them send a check to me that I was suppose to cash and send back by western union. I brought the check to the FBI angency instead. I did have a couple banks that were willing to cash it though! Gary

Kev,
That is a scam, period. If you respond they will ask for your bank account info to settle the transaction, that one has been going around for a long time. Just delete it. By the way I have a 25% ownership stake on a bridge in Duluth that I am trying to get rid of. Because you are a friend, I will let it go to you pretty cheap.

SCAM!

DELETE!!!!!

I saw a deal on this recently on TV. It is a bunch of goons from Africa that did this particular scam. (Sounds exactly like this one!) One group that prided themselves as “Reverse Scammers” made these clowns take pictures of themselves with lamp shades on themselves, wearing womens clothing, all kinds of stupid things all the while stringing them along with the promise of paying the scammers, and never doing it! It was like watching Funniest Home Videos!

Sounds like a day spent with Briank and Putz.

Good One Slider…Oh! Did you say BRIANK and Putz???

Yes it’s a scam, don’t just delete it, report it to your internet service provider and/or fbi.

Our reputation preceeds us, Brian.

Hey we must have similar lives. This weekend I also had a distant uncle die and left me several millions. Since I know all of my uncles….story doesn’t pan out.

DELETE IT!
