   It's always obvious to me when something like this is a scam.  I'm certified to teach English on BOTH coasts.  Clearly this letter was written by someone who has ANOTHER language as their "first" language.
   I can tell when someone simply didn't pay attention in high school and when someone was raised with another language as their "first" language.
   That's why I find it funny (in a sad, pathetic way)when someone whose "first" language is obviously NOT English gets high scores on a writing site.
   Strange how a site that insists on the use of the English language does not penalize those who clearly cannot use it correctly.
   Yes, you would think the scammers would take the time to hire someone to ghostwrite for them or at least EDIT their material.  Then again, if they did even more stupid people in the world would lose their money; wouldn't they?

   Well, this is a particularly creative one.  These clowns have managed to mix the US government, whoever the so-called people are in Nigeria, paying to buy one's way out of this make-believe "legal trouble" - and to top it all off,  someone is stupid enough to think the US government's first contact with someone it plans to prosecute is through e.mail. 
   
   FYI to Any Scammers/Potential Scammers Reading Here:  The police and government officials in the US do not deal in e.mails, you morons.  If there's one thing worse than a clever scammer, it's a dumb scammer.

   More clever?  Jeez these guys still need the services of a good copywriter.  Plus if I were running a foreign scam I'd probably use not only an American name, but also something that ended in, oh I don't know, .gov.  Anyone who gets taken in by this deserves everything they get.

    I've never fallen for one of these. They just sound too fishy. Plus, if it was that important, it wouldn't just come in an email. It would be sent certified mail or something. The whole thing is totally ridiculous.

    No I think I just got the ultimate in email fraud today:
    
    
    
    One of the things I found suspicious was the hushmail account.  Basically hushmail is one of those "keep your privacy" email sites that allow you to set up a throwaway email account.  Second was the use of tinyurl.  It makes sense to use that in a forum or tweet, as you may be limited in the number of characters you can use in those media.  It does not make sense in an email. 
    
    So to continue my investigation, I clicked on the site, which forwarded me to http://processor.paychecks-now.com/
    
    Hmm.  This sounds suspiciously like the stuff envelopes for cash scam that has been around forever, only updated for the 21st century.  Now I go to Google.  Ah, Google my friend, you never let me down.  Doing a search of the website name, I find dozens of similar sites from all over the world.  Uh oh, doesn't look good.  http://www.google.com/search?source=ig& … =&aqi=
    
    So finally, I search Google for email processor and find, you guessed it, pages detailing how email processing is a scam.  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en& … aqi=g9g-s1
    
    This helpful ezine article was on the first page:  http://ezinearticles.com/?Email-Process … p;id=65611
    
    That is how you detect a fraud.  As frauds go, this one was pretty good.  But a little research "busts" this particular scam.

    But seriously guys, I agree it's probably all a scam, but the means by which we're investigating is at least as flawed as the subject being investigated.
    Every piece of evidence gathered from google searches proclaiming the subject (in this case email processing) a scam, is trying to sell you something which they claim is "the real way to make money online".
    
    It would seem to be an extremely popular technique, to appear helpful to the reader and then gently nudge them in the direction of your product.
    
    Sadly, I find I can't believe a single review out there on any "making money from home opportunities", and like most others out there I cannot afford to try them out either.

    I recently got an email from a friend with a suspicious link in it. Without clicking the link or replying to the email, I sent him a new email saying his comp had probably been taken over by malware and that it had probably emailed everyone on his contact list. Of course, it did. Those kind of things really suck, they're all over MySpace and such to, leading you to sites that will automatically give you malware... -sigh-
