Now I believe, that Internet Scam is going on (has a future).

I wanted to post Scam mail about "Inheritance" and can't do that.

As I have enough experiences I can give some advice, but Scammers still have free way to betray somebody. That means, we honest people have nothing to say?

He or she claimed that all I had to do was give my address, name, phone number, and age and that I would reciave a payment weekly from a customer. When I did, I was to cash it and take 10% for my troubles. I'm wondering is this legit or a fraud? Unfortunatly I already signed up ><.
