This scam has been around for some time. It started out with snail mail,
moved to faxes and is now going through e-mail. Some of the names and other
details change, but the content and scam remains the same. This has also
been reported to the IFCCFBI web site.

This e-mail has been around for awhile. I've sent copies of it to the US
Secret Service who monitor and investigate these schemes.

Looks pretty similar to the ongoing Nigerian scam letter's and emails that
have been going on for the last 10yrs plus. I see them here from time to
time. I usually send a cease and desist letter to the send and the ISP that
it came from. The actual email account is probably a dummy one because they
never respond.

Subject: strange mail
Has anyone else received mail of this nature? This is the second such
mailing a particular individual has received, except it was from another
person. Could this be a hoax, money laundering, sincere or? The other
mailing that was sent similar to this suggested opening an account
specifically for depositing of these monies. Heidi
