Ok ok...ofcourse this is a scam. I mean, isn't there something a little suspicious about one day sitting down to go on your laptop/computer and suddenly receiving an email offering you $1, 000, 000.00?
(Sarcastically)- But then again it must be true because with all the disease and suffering in the world, there is no better use of anyone's time than to send an email to 5 random people randomly offering them $1, 000, 000.00.
