Always fun to hover the cursor over the email address of the sender to get the 'real' email address that you will be replying to. See if it ends in something like .ru
So did you choose an ATM card or cash? Your local ATM may not hold all the $10 million so you will have to make several visits. Make sure you wave to the camera when you go there.

Even better to look at the header information and get the
real originating email address. (Last one in the list.)
Not all email clients display the
real originating address.
The best part has to be:
"NOTE: If you have not fallen a victim of this act, you are not expected to respond back to this email"
Today...that actually could be the FBI...they have fallen badly.

On the other hand, considering the English skills of students graduating from the public school system these days, it could be completely legitimate.
I must be too smart for these guys - I didnβt get that mailing.

I've read that the linguistic flaws we see in these scams are intentional, designed to weed out people who are smart enough to see them. Leaving the unsmart and/or oblivious, who are more likely to take the bait willingly.
They never quit! So many mistakes, but anyone who can't spell DOLLARS, need not bother.
It's very sad so say this but someone, somewhere, will be suckered into this stupidity.
The simple fact is that the scammers are very far from stupid, and If it didn't work enough to pay off, they wouldn't be doing it.

I passed on this deal because Nigeria is offering me the value of my uncle's estate there valued at 50 milliion. He died a month ago and they just found my name in his will. All they need is a bank acct. number to send it to. I didn't even know this uncle so it's really nice of him to leave me this gift.
