But, if you go to the BBC site and read what it says...

We have been informed that someone has been sending out emails purporting to come from the Heir Hunters programme and referring to this website. Please be aware that the emails have no connection with the BBC or the makers of Heir Hunters, Flame Television, and you should ignore them. You should not reply to them and if you believe that persons are attempting to deceive you with a view to monetary gain, then you should contact the police.

If you are short ....I had an offer through today from Benin, you only need to pay a US$150 handling fee and will receive a cheque for $950,000 - that's got to be good value.
