This is a phishing scam. I have been seeing it for years on my work email in the automotive industry.

I don't get the "nigerian emails" often, but when I do I usually respond with a "GO FUCK YOUSELF" in the subject line. Makes me feel beeter for some reason....

CONTACT INFORMATION

LOL....the sad thing is, there are still idiots out there that fall for this shit

 

[Deutscher75]

I've received several of these bullshit e-mails. I've thought about forwarding them on to the FBI but I figure more than enough people are already doing as such to even care about it.

[[503]MR_BOND503]

I always just deleted those without reading but haven't got any in quite a while...

[Playerdown]

I've been waiting on a check from Mr. Smith and Mr. jones for about a month. When it comes in i'll take everybody out for drinks. It's supposed to be like 5 mil for helping set up an account to retrieve lost treasure from saddam husseins palace. I can't wait.

[Guest Corruptor310]

I saw a thing on this on tv several months back --- an FBI spokesman said "if the FBI wants to talk to you, they will show up at your door, they dont email".
