My guess is that they'll want me to give them my bank account information so they can deposit my funds directly into my account, which should make it super convenient!

Since I've been so fortunate, I'm sharing this with everyone so that maybe they can call and get in on this action- Just Kidding!!!! Please NEVER, NEVER, NEVER fall for this type of scam. This one, of course, is a dead giveaway because of the dollar amount quoted. However, I've seen similar scams with much lower amounts and they do sort of appear to be legit. But, I can assure you that anyone you don't know who contacts you out of the blue to tell you that you've come into money is only trying to relieve you of your hard earned savings. Don't fall for it!
