Clever, aren't they! - and nasty!
BEWARE!
I just found this in my spam...
So someone has picked up the fact that Errant Grandfather + my Yahoo e-address go together!
They must have some kind of system for harvesting names & e-addresses from sites like this - or, rather, other online places where you might actually have to give your e-address explicitly!
BEWARE!

Dear Christine,
I am Barrister Sonny Ibeh, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to late Mr. Leonard Keith Bennett, a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company in West Africa. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$5.5million left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB), where this huge amount were deposited. The said BANK has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.
...etc
