Recipients of email messages like the one below, which claim the recipients' long overdue outstanding inheritance or compensation payment has been approved, is a scam being sent by lottery scammers. The lottery scammers send the fake and fraudulent email messages to their potential victims to trick them into sending their personal information. The potential victims' information will then be used to contact them in an attempt to trick them into sending money, which the scammers will claim is for processing fee, taxes, delivery fee, transfer fee or some other fee. But, if the potential victims send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear, and not send the money that was promised.
