Are there really people that fall for this?

Got this in an email

Hello Friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is Dr Abdulla Hassan a merchant in Bahrain. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when #@$%! gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that #@$%! has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want #@$%! to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of five million dollars $5,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.Please kindly mail me directly through my personal email box: ([email protected])

In his sweet, loving hands. You will distribute thefunds to any charity organizations of your choice.
At this point,forward to me your full names and address as well as a telephone number;my Attorney in Netherlands can reach you so as to give to you all necessary information of the company as well as the documents of claims.
I will be expecting your response soon.
Abdulla Hassan.
#@$%! be with you.
Best regards as i await your urgent responses

Dr Abdulla Hassan.
 
These emails are a screening process, which allows the crook to find the dumbest, most willing victim.
 
I get those almost daily. I didn't know I had so many rich relatives. If you check with the State Department they have the figure on how many suckers get taken in by this stuff.
 
My favorite spam was from some foreign multi-millionaire who was dying from something or other and writing to me from a laptop on his hospital bed because he "can't let other people know" that he's writing to me, but I was supposed to contact him by fax. Um, hello, do you have a fax machine by your bed too? Maybe you do if you're a millionaire.

It would almost be fun to play with these guys and waste their time. Perhaps that would keep them away from others.
I could tell him I will use his money for used oil analysis
 
i almost always email them back with questions like what kind of info do you need and i would like to get in on this and stuff like that. after a few emails i give them a phone # [i can be reached at] i give them the number of the police station.
 
People that use gawd to scam people.................I really hope there is a really hot place for them in the depths of #@$%!; hotter than average.

Kind of like the holy water infomercials; people buy the holy water and get checks for $9,000 in the mail. Sheeeyaaaw, and monkeys might fly out of my #@$%!.
 
If I bother to write back ..I tell them that I'd like to help them ..but I've got surplus money issues of my own to deal with. Although they have evil government agents hunting them down to kill them so that the state can seize their assets ...we also have evil government agents seeking to separate me from my millions of $$$. I ask them if they find some generous soul, that will relieve me of this crippling burden, to please refer them to me ASAP for I fear that if I wait too long all be driven into poverty.
 
One of the pearls of wisdom my father gave me a long long time ago: If some stranger offers you something for free, you have to ask yourself "Don't they have friends or relatives they would let in on the deal first?" That was a long time before the internet. Funny how some things never change.
 
That was entertaining. I liked the one scamming the scammer for the laptop ..that was choice. They had on the ground intel in the UK of it.

That guy is marked for life
