I've heard so much about these scams that the only reasonable reply would be, "Go to Hell". Makes you wonder about the sort of people who actually fall for these things. I mean, he doesn't even spell 'petroleum' right.

This is a well known scam that has suckered an awful lot of people who were so greedy and stupid they fell for it. Some Businessman in Scotland (of all places) paid up £1.2 million before the 'trail went cold'.

If you feel like replying, mention the FBI. They hate that.

What intrigued me was one particular line - "IF YOU ARE STILL VERY MUCH INTERESTED". Um, excuse me? Did I *ask* you to send me this? Did I ever express to you a sudden desire to hand over my banking details to a complete and utter stranger, who almost certainly does not exist?

Every time I receive spam or weird e-mails, I always check out sites like this (and forward the links to those who sent me spam!): http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/

or this one in french: http://www.hoaxbuster.com/index.php

And Lyc, the best reply to a spam is no reply, because if you reply, it means that your e-mail adress is working (and therefore, ready to receive more spam).

SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!
