Feng Zhao? Anybody else received an email from him about inheriting $15.7M from an unknown dead guy?
This Feng Zhao <zhaofeng23@yahoo.com.sg> guy asked me to inform him of the following information:
1) YOUR FULL NAMES
2) YOUR OCCUPATION
3) YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS
4) YOUR DATE OF BIRTH
5) YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
6) YOUR TEL, FAX AND MOBILE NUMBERS
so that he could arrange making me the next of kin of an unknown dead guy and inherit $15.7M. I know it's just a scam and just emailed a reply that he must be out of his mind to think that I'd fall for this crap. But I'm just curious if anybody else got the same email and what they think.

THIS IS A SCAM. They want personal Identification. Do not give them this, you could wind up being a victim of identity fraud. Any person that asks for personal information like this is an obvious fraud.
It is a variation on the Nigerian letter scam.

Yes, I too have the same unknown relative. I am apparently the sole heir that could be found and, if I don't cliam the money, usually about 15 million, it will go to the government. It is a scam to get personal info. Spam it

I've gotten similar e-mails. A legitimate company already has your life at its fingertips. Forget about being curious. Delete these immediately without opening them.
