Yea, I get those emails at least once a day. I remember when I got my first one when I was about 13. I was so excited because I thought it was real, and I was wondering what to do. Anyway, I wish we could find these people and sue them for the amount of money that is promised. Haha. Anyway, don't give away any info or your identity may be in the process od being stolen.
