This is what I received an hour ago.
Sorry if we approached you wrongly, our names are Precious and Olivier
Johnson Joko from Ivory Coast. l am 16 years old. l really need your
assistance. Our parents died some years back and his family
members want to kill me and my only brother and sit on the
inheritance our father left for us in the bank.
We are now in a hiding place and the documents of inheritance are with us.
Please help us to have this fund transferred to your country and we
will come to join you.

I will be sending you our picture and the documents when we hear from you.
Sincerely
Precious & Olivier Joko
Is it some scam or is legit someone in trouble?
If you have to ask, it's a scam.
In this kind of thing, what they typically do is send you money, then have you send some back. But then the first transfer is marked as fraudulent and reversed, so 1) the bank starts thinking you're sketchy, too, and 2) you're out however much money you sent them and it's most likely through zelle / some method that can't be reversed.

Thanks for the save bro. The way the written was the thing that got me doubtful. Especially the "Our parents died some years back and his family members want to kill me and my only brother." part.
If you receive an email from someone in Africa and it's not anyone you know in Africa then it's a scam.
It probably is a scam, but in cases you are not sure, don't fret to contact legal authorities with an ask for help . But yes, it is in 99.999999999990% just people trying to scam you
