Well for me this letter is good and bad news. The good news I have not been scammed. The bad news if I was scammed and I would not have forked over a million dollars ( since I don't have a million). if they are paying out a million dollar per, I could have made some money. Oh well once again a day late and a dollar short.

Since the 14th of March up to today I have received noless than twenty seven SCAM messages along similar lines. Many of them come from the domain OCN.NC.JP the domain seemingly most favoured by scammers and then go on to ask for replies be sent to a gmail or yahoo address, even entities that would/should have their own domain. I mean, why would the Central Bank of Nigeria have a gmail address?

This is fairly typical:

Are you kidding, they have information on everybody.

I recently heard about the scam where someone will call you and the display on your phone shows your own name and phone number as the caller. I just got one of those yesterday. I didn't answer because I didn't have anything to say to myself.

jlocke Loc: Austin, TX

I used to wonder about how anyone would believe these messages with the poor grammar, then I read somewhere that they do that on purpose, as sort of a 'pre-screening' of potential victims. If you send out thousands of emails that look legitimate, you may get a lot of responses, but then you have to respond to all of those and proceed to try to get bank account information, money, etc., at which point the more savvy people will drop out, and you will have wasted all that time replying. If your initial email looks suspect, and you STILL get a response, odds are good that you can proceed with whatever scam you have in mind.
