I received a text about an inheritance in my name. It asked for an email address. In a nutshell, he "works" at a bank in UK, a client died intestate with 10.5 million that will get turned over to the government soon and he wants to share this money 50/50. He'll send more details when you respond back. Do not fall for this!! The text didn't come with a phone number but with the following: arco.info@bagniarcobaleno.it I googled this and it is a info site for a hotel in Italy.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
