I have had loads of these scams

"I am the wife of the late blah blah" and

"I am the business partner of the late blah blah"

They are all cons just to get your bank details etc

A good website for all latest scams is

I thought your job was top secret and could'nt be mentioned in any shape or form? I take it you work for a company that produces or supplies instruments of death then?

This things are quite common but it's usually safer to involve a middle man. Tell you what, send me your bank account details and I'll handle the transaction for you.

You'll be sipping cocktails in Barbados before the weekend my friend.
