Katie, at some point in the process they will need a few thousand or a few hundred bucks to complete some paperwork or to release the funds from the bank. Or they may need your bank account and ss# to complete the transfer.
It is a common scam.
Their are some good websites out there that track all the scams and urban legends (such as, Bill Gates has agreed to give everyone who sends this email $1000 for each person they send it to or Disney is giving away free trips to everyone who passes on this message).
But as was said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
