I have been sent many emails that are scams. I researched the internet for many of the email addresses. There are many pages that talk about the scams and give email address that scammers use. . I got one email that was from a Law Firm. I checked out the firm on the internet and it is a real law firm. I believe that some scammers are even using real company names. We must all remember that some of them may have been doing this for years and are very good at sounding convincing. Also,wouldn't information such as someone being a beneficiary be sent by a certified letter, instead of email?
