Need to know if this a scam.?

Yes pumpkin this is a common scam. Don't give in to this B.S. I get these over sees emails all the time. Don't even respond. You have to wonder how on earth did they get your email address or why would someone need to send money to you a stanger over seas. I'm sure there are people right there who if they had the burden of giving money to wouldn't have any problem with accepting it :)
