Got a copy of the same email as well as an ID from the reserve and copy of drivers license.... poor bugger never saw it coming.... sooo tired of the scam artists out there..
I recv'd the same e-mail as listed above. I have reported the scam. Spelling in these types of emails is terrible. I receive many and don't answer any. Nothing but SCAM.

Classic Nigerian 419 scam & I DO mean classic. This oldie dates back to the days when such scams were sent via snail mail. It is a variation of the 'money box scam'. In it's original format a Nigerian Prince/King being deposed needed your help moving money/gold/jewels out of the country. For a small 'fee' you would receive vast wealth. A true classic scam!
