We all get these SCAM emails, I thought this one was particularly interesting in that she mentions having had to pay $8000+, I can't help but wonder if I am supposed to reimburse her that fee should I jump on this SCAM opportunity. And if you note – this email was not sent just to ME, but to undisclosed-recipients

Fraudulant Activity ( Be Warned )
Tuesday, April 14, 2009 8:52 PM
From: "Susan Walter" <susan60124@gmail.com>
To: undisclosed-recipients
Dearest, (Why do perfect strangers think it’s ok to call someone “dearest”?)
My name is Susan Walter, I live at 8763 Pelican Dr.La Grange IL 60525,United States.
I am one of those that executed a contract in Nigeria years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $70,000USD trying to get my payment all to no avail.
Somebody directed me to travel down to Nigeria with all my contract documents to meet Barrister Mat Oto who is the member of CONTRACT PAYMENT COMMITTEE and
LEGAL ADVISER to the COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me on telephone and advised me to come down to Nigeria which I did.
He said that those contacting us through emails are fake. Then he took me to the paying bank, which is Central Bank of Nigeria, and I am the happiest woman on this earth because I have received my contract funds of $8.2Million USD.
On the process of searching for my file,I saw your information on awaiting payment list in the office of Barrister Mat Oto.Though I did not capture all your information lest your fax number.
Am sorry contacting you late as I planed doing it as soon as I arrive back USA.
I have been so busy because we are trying to set up a factory here with the money we received.
So if you care,do contact Barrister Mat Oto with the information below and just explain yourself to him as I know he is honest and humble person.
Alternatively mention my name to him he will attend to you.
Name: Barrister Mat Oto
Email: brrmat@ymail.com
phone number +234-1-432490123
Address: 123,Palm Avenue Palm Grove,
Lagos Nigeria.
You really have to stop your dealing with those contacting you okay because they will dry you up until you have nothing to eat.
The only money I paid was just $8,200 for Federal Inland Revenue Services (F.I.R.S).
So you have to take note of that. You can reach me on this telefax number:1-208-248-3647
Thanks,
Susan Walter- - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - -

Also, report this type of email to the providers of the email accounts used. I just reported this email to gmail and ymail using abuse@___.com because this email uses susanwal60124@gmail.com; aaertty@gmail.com; susan60124@gmail.com and brrmat@ymail.com. The providers will close the accounts. This will require the people sending these emails to create a new account and start over. It is the only real way we can fight back at them.
Thanks for posting,
Kevin
Kevin, you are absolutely correct. I highly recommend your suggestion of reporting these fraudulent emails to the ISP the sender sent from AND to the 'reply to" sender.
Thank you for dropping by and pointing thin out
