Has anyone received an email like this? It's despicable that now these dirt bags are going after the unemployed. Guess now they need to recruit spammers...maybe they need a Monster or CareerBuilder account.

When I tell you the truth you would not believe it anyway.

The truth is I get more then 400 spams every single day. Letters like the one you posted seem to always get by my spam filter. And I suppose I get about a dozen of those letters every day.

The one you posted is just another variation of the Nigerian 419 scam.

i actually get more, it's insane. spam filter catches most, but it's absolutely unbelieveable how much crap i get. the account is the one i use when i buy stuff online (friends and family don't use it) so it doesn't bother me to the point of needing to deleting the account.
