Has anyone received an email like this? It is purporting to be from my grand son.?

Thanks everyone who answered this. My grandson - a university student - has still not replied.

It is new version of mom letters.

Now a days such type of mails are being received very frequently.

Imagine receiving an email from a grandson who is YET TO BE BORN!

Hi! I am a grandma too. In fact my 12th grandchild will be born tomorrow probably. His mom is being induced in the morning. I get emails exactly what you what like are talking about. Pay no attention to them. Lies, lies, lies!

I get those too especially from Nigeria. What worried me with this particular one was that it was supposed to be my grandson sending it to me and the YouTube video mentioned in the Email seemed to be a genuine media report.

I frequently receive emails saying that I won 40 billion bucks in a lottery that I never even played.

I got sometimes, but I do not believe it...
