Seriously...who believes this stuff?

I really have no qualms about giving out my email...I get more email/spam in an day than most people probably get in a week or month!
Anyway, here's a recent spam email I received:

"I work with a bank here in Spain, I need your assistance in repatriating the funds left behind by a late customer that died with his entire family. Every attempt to trace any member of his family has not been successful. I will give you more information upon your response to this proposal. Email: benjjama2010@aim.com
Regards,
Mr.benja."

So some random family died and they want to give me the money? Rrrright.

Here's one telling me I won the lottery (in the UK)..here's the information they want me to send to process and get me the money:

1) YOUR FULL NAME:
2) ADDRESS,CITY,STATE AND COUNTRY.
3) PHONE,FAX AND MOBILE
4) COMPANY NAME(IF ANY) POSITION AND ADDRESS
5) BANK DETAILS, BANK NAMES, ACCOUNT NO, ROUTING NO, SWIFT CODE BANK ADDRESS.
6) PROFESSION,AGE AND MARITAL STATUS
7) COPY OF YOUR INT'L PASSPORT/DRIVERS LICENSE

Does anyone else smell identify theft?
