Smile Yes that is a scam

Candi
I get many of those emails a day. What you need to do is reply back and tell them that you have forwarded the email to the FBI and CIA and you will see that they will stop.

Good luck

Thank you Jas2! You are absolutely right!! It is a scam. I get the same e-mails also almost everyday. I didn't realize that I had so many ancestors that have died in car accidents or plane crashes.
