Advance Fee Fraud, or AFF, is an age-old scam that goes back at least to the 16th century. Email, instant messaging and mobile telephones are the enabling factors in AFF. The idea is to draw you in emotionally, to win your trust, and to keep hitting you with those fees. Four men in the UK recently ran a fake inheritance scam, where you are tricked into thinking you are helping your inamorato with some funds to shake loose a substantial inheritance tied up in a corrupt and tardy legal system.”]
