Seriously - anyone who buys in to this sort of thing I feel sorry for. Didn't anyone ever teach them that anything worth having is worth getting the old fashioned way - hardwork and determination. PLease - nothing comes for free - not even our freedom.

It's incredible what they're doing to the Croc Hunter's family. These sort of e-mails, games that have you "get revenge on the stingrays". Some people may think these things are a sort of "tribute" to the croc hunter, but dont fall for that. Why can't we leave these people in peace?

In regards to the NASTY Terri Irwin mail scam...Why can't people leave her alone. Let her greave in peace? I ordered something a year ago from Amazon.com/Germany. Was something in German language not available here. Also bought something from E-Bay. To make a long story short...I started getting e-mails from Africa, Holland, & some exotic place I don't remember. These people ask for your bank acct. #'s so they can "safely" transfer the so called inheritance "funds" to your bank acct., after keeping a transaction/legal fee of the supposed deceased'smillions. Well anyone who is stupid to fall for this is just waiting to be TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't fall for this scam. They make the e-mails very convincing though. I ended up having to change my e-mail address in the end because I was getting some 200+ scam mails daily. And always remember OLD SAYINGS have a lot of truth to them as this easy one to remember.... IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT MOST PROBABLY ISN'T.

Scams like this happen to those who are celebrities or well known and grieving! Terri Irwin isn't any acception. Her husband was in the public eye and unfortunately these people are going after her and her family! It's too bad, because she has enough to content with! Terri is a strong woman, whether she wants to believe it or not..every woman who has lost a spouse, has inner strength..I should know..I lost my husband at 44, 8 years ago. Terri must realize that Steve is in a much better place and she will be rejoined with him at a later time.
But he isn't really lost, he is at home in Heaven, we are the aliens of this world and Steve has citizenship in Heaven. Steve will always be in Terri, Bindi, Bob, Bob Sr.'s heart as well as the rest of the Australia Zoo.
Steve Irwin's work hasn't gone without being noticed..he has done a great deal for humanity making us aware of wildlife and what we can learn and do for them.
He would want Terri to go on with his work with wildlife, preserving them and Bindi to follow in his footsteps!

Anyone who is stupid enough to actually believe that Mrs. Irwin would write to THEM and ask for THEIR help.... should be sent to a ward of sorts. Get real, if you don't ENTER the UK lottery (another email scam), you CAN'T WIN IT. And if you don't KNOW Mrs. Irwin, she WOULDN'T write to you. Got Brains..?!?! I get 10 email scams a day...I send them all viruses in return. :)

I'm sitting here, totally amazed that anyone could fall for such a scam. With everything that's available about these scams, are people in this world just plain stupid? I would really be curious to know how many people respond to an email like the one mentioned here. And for those that do, I can't help but think they respond out of greed. That being the case, they do not deserve anyone's sympathy.

If you pay attention to these emails there are often words that are misspelled, and some sentences that do not use the correct word. For instance the email I saw used the word dead instead died.

There are websites out there that tell you how to pick out scams.

Sometimes the perps of these scams are smarter than we give them credit for. I was duped once as well. Be wary of the people you start chatting with for years via yahoo or msn messenger, as they probably are priming you as well for a scam. The scams do not always request money upfront. These perps indear themselves to you for quite some time before they ask you to cash a check for them as they are having problems while out of the country on a buying trip.
Just sign me.
Taken once, but smart because of it

I get these things all the time. One last week from Nigeria wanted me to wire $550 USD to them so they would have the money to FedEx the check to me. Right!!!!!!!

y cant thay leave her and that fanly in peace
i get tham things dayly and have not fallen for any yet
butt i hate to see her draged in the mud liker that

It isn't right to ask for the money it's no pain no gain in this world you got to feel pain if you want to gain something. It's unfair. Mrs. Irwin is having a very hard time dealing with other things. Sometimes they say this family lived with cameras but I think all people have something they want to be left alone about.

I admire Steve Irwin and his work protecting animals. Please let Terri greave in peace. Her family has been though enough.

i can't believe people these days. i know how Terri feels cause i lost my dad when i was 10 years old.

Why can people be so cruel hearted. The Irwin family has been so much and hasn't the world also suffered their loss? Let them be so they can continue something good in a world like ours there's got to be something that gives people some meaning to life. Please stop the scams on this family. Do yourself a favor and become a passionate human being and see what this world would have been without Steve Irwin and his family.

Terri is grieving, let her and her children grieve in peace. I get these scams all the time. I even got one saying some man with my last name just died and i'm the only person with the same last name they can fine, therefore they supposedly named me next of kin to inherit millions of dollars. I wasn't stupid enough to fall for that and i'm a pretty gullible person. Anyone stupid enough to fall for a scam like that deserves what they get. Get some brains people.

I agree with comments from some of the posters above - How can anyone fall for this? I get an email a week, at least, from some poor reched sole who needs me to send them $200 -$2000 to get their dead great aunts billions out of probate or something of that nature and that I would be rewarded with a percentage, enough $ that would make me a millionaire. These scams have been going on for YEARS. I have a friend who was taken for $2000 by some guy claiming this kind of melarchy at a gas station. When I was told the story I asked him if he had been born the day before the crime. Greed, it not only makes people cruel and dishonest, it can also make you stupid!!!!

i agree w/ "nicki" terri has been through enough as it is and she doesnt need to make it any worse than it already is its a tragidie and we all know it .steve irwin was a role model and a loving father, and husband...R.I.P. steve irwin

Cruel-hearted people such as these should be ashamed. My uncle recently died at the age of 44 and I still grieve. Leave the Irwins alone they are allowed (however famous they may be) to grieve as we do. If you have any sense you'll understand this. I know Steve is in Heaven with God. That helps me cope with these accidents we all dread.

Seriously, how can anyone fall for things like this?!! So some huge amounts of money just fall into your lap. Get real.
Its just disgusting how people would exploit Terri Irwin at this trageic time.

First off, The scam is just sick.
She has enough to worry about and to take care of. She has to take the role of mommy and daddy. Then to pick-up where steve left off.
I pray God gives her the strength to go through each day.
My prayers are with the family.
