Yes I have been sent this email saying we have a FedEx mastercard worth $500,00.00 US Dollars.
Yes Shawn, I wouldn’t mind one of those myself. It’s just a pity that it’s a fraud.

Michael, I’ve seen (yes actually seen) people transfering tens of thousands of dollars to some account in the US (yes! in the US) hoping to recieve millions.
I have pursuaded some not to send as I’m well aware of such spammers and most agreed not do, but i’ve seen couple of people actually doing that.
In the end it seemed so funny but at the same time dramatic as you couldn’t do something.
This guys play on unawareness of many many people and I think mass media (TV, radio etc) available to newbie internet users should talk more about this kind of crimes.
