Answer:
Anyone can get anyones Yahoo! email address by searching the member directory and just putting @yahoo.com after the screen name. If you think it is a scam, it probably is. Go with your gut. Mark the email as spam.

Their screen name has the word "funds" in it. That should tell you something right there. They probably want money. Be careful.

If you don't know who they are, or how they got your e-mail address, just don't talk to them. Most e-mails that just seem really random are trying to get money and scam you. Just ignore it, and if it is a real person, they will try to get ahold of you later, if they want to. In the mean time, just delete it and don't worry.

Let me guess...This person that sent you an e-mail has some way out story and wants you to handle his or her financial affairs...RIGHT? ....Yep. Guess what? It's a scam. I have received two different styles of these letters and they both are Bull sh-t. Delete them and carry on. If it sounds too good to be true...It is.

It's a scam. Send it to your spam filter. Do not open or reply to or you will be open to identity theft, phishing, etc. If you don't know the sender, it's probably spam.
