It's called the Nigerian scam, since it usually comes out of Nigeria, but can also come out of other countries.

I have recieved two of them but a little different wording and names.
I just delete them and most of the time if I don't know the email address I don't even open it.
I don't give out my email to just everyone so I know they don't know me.

Not from him, but yeah from (BOA). ANd various other organizations and people including, but not limited to Queen Elizabeth.

I get them all the time..I don't know if I got this exact one but I have no idea where they come from..what do these people think. I wonder if they actually find people to take that bait.

Maybe not that exact one but a few very similar. Just some spear chuckers trying to steal money. For all those who fall for it, they deserve to lose money for being so stupid!!

Not lately but I've seen the likes of it in the past.
