If a stranger sends you an unsolicited email offering a job, prizes, money in exchange for helping them dispose of valuables, etc., it's a scam and just delete the email. At best, use a service to spamcop.net to report the email to the ISP of the scammer. If you do let your guard down and get victimized, you must immediately cut off communication with the scammer and report everything that's been stolen to the appropriate authorities and file a report with the police. Since they believe you're an easy mark, they'll continue the scam by all means possible, including blackmail. If you cave in to the blackmail, they'll do it again - don't play the fool. You should also cancel your email accounts and get new ones. Unfortunately, once you've identified as somebody who's gullible, you'll only get more scam offers.
