Yeah, just in reading that it has SCAM written all over it... it's originated in Nigeria. This stuff is going on all of the time. Just wait until you try to sell a car online, you get a flood of them.
Sometimes it's fun to **** around with the scammers, though.

Congratulations Bat!
I wonder when they would ask for personal info, or money?
I just read about a good scam, that would take a lot of people. You get a call from a court clerk who is notifying you there has been a warrant issued for your arrest. You, of course, ask why, and are told you failed to appear for jury duty. You will say I never got a notice to appear, so the clerk checks it all out, and in the course of helping straighten it out, he asks for your social security number and date of birth.
Would you fall for it? How about your 87 year old widowed mother?

not to mention horrid english and spelling. classic.
The couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned on a
night light, turned on the answering machine, covered their pet parakeet's cage
and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the local cab company and
requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and the couple opened
the front door to leave their house. The cat they had put out into the yard
scooted back into the house. They didn't want the cat shut in the house because
she always tries to eat the bird. The wife went out to the taxi while the
husband went inside to get the cat. The cat ran upstairs with the man in hot
pursuit. Waiting in the cab, the wife didn't want the driver to know the house
would be empty for the night. She explained to the taxi driver that her husband
would be out soon. "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother." A
few minutes later the husband got into the cab. "Sorry I took so long," he
said, as they drive away. "Stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke
her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off,but I
grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from
scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out
into the back yard!"
The cabdriver hit a parked car....
