WTF....I'm Rich

Just checked my email account ....In my Junk Folder was this.

I could buy all you guy's a Brand New Scope of your choice or if you want an ORB..no problem....Just think of the possibilities....so have a good think about what you want...I've got US30Million ( roughly AU56Million ) to spend.
I'll pay out your Mortgage if you like ...!!

I thought this type of SCAM was long gone after the Nigerian one was shut down.

Col.... not sooo rich after all.

Some of these scams can be quite elaborate. I have recieved hard copy letters sent from europe in the past with a similar theme, so they are happy to spend real postage $$$ to try and scam people
