The last message of this kind offered a Cash Card with 850 thousand US Dollars on it. Sure it sounds good, but it’s not very logical, is it?

Looking through the message, it has all of the Hallmarks of typical 419 scam e-mails:

1. It uses only Freemail accounts
2. The sender is a “Reverend”. That’s a title only used for representatives of protestant churches. It’s highly unlikely they would be working for a bank as well.
3. The “Central Bank of Nigeria” is quoted as being the remitter bank.
4. They quote I will be getting an inheritance.
5. And of course, I will be getting millions of US Dollars with no strings attached.

That’s enough to mark it as suspect, I would say.
