CAN I TRUST YOU?

This is an old scam doing the rounds again with a few changes.  The scammer is trying to persuade you that he has access to millions of dollars left behind in his bank by a mega rich foreigner who, surprise, died in a nasty accident.

There are no millions.  No-one died in a nasty accident.  The nasty accident will happen if you reply – because this scammer will start asking you to send him money.  Just delete the email.
