Yesterday I received an email from a so called 80 year old Australian/South African woman who had inherited her husband's fortune which came from diamond blood money and she claimed to have selected me to help her battle the injustice and inequity by gifting me $25 million. All I had to do was wire her the inheritance taxes so the South African government would release the funds to me. She was confident I would be a good steward of the money and use it to help others.

I hope Englehorn's story is real. It's just too bad there are hundreds of similar stories out there that are designed to rip people off.
