I hate emails like this one and get them every now and then in my email box, but never reply just put it as spam, but what gets me is that they are playing on the vunerablilty of others as there are some naive poeople who will answer the emails. I think they sould be traced and procecuted. it's disgusting and shouold be stopped.

Yeah I totally agree, I am certain that there are vulnerable people out there who really do believe all this, and it horrible to think that these people are victims to this kind of scam... I do not get these often, but when I do they do really annoy me.

They are scams and spanners. Do not waste your time openning those emails. They are looking around to fool many people. I hope somebody can tell us where that idea was originated and they are everywhere. Sorry for those victims. I guess they are collecting money and vanished into thn air after you send them the so called processing fee or whatever.

i myself still receive such emails. I guess these people just keep on sending such emails hoping that 1 or more people among the hundreds of thousands of whom they sent those emails to would still fall for it..

There must be some people who fall for these emails because they are still trying their luck and sending them. I don't even bother opening them anymore they get sent right to my trash can.

That is really one poor scam email you get there, well as of now I never get any kind of emails like that but base on the email I think they are trying to get personal information of people from around the world the reason is I don't know. Maybe they will use it for something or illegal activities but they really not good in creating a scene or effective email strategy I agree to you who will fall for that. I hope there will be a announcement about this kind scam thing on the net but still by only reading that kind of email is easy to judge if its scam or not.
