    What do you want us to tell? It is just a scam and everyone gets that crap all the time.

    Just delete it and forget about it

    I get those emails every night it seems like. I also get a lot of ebay/paypal scams. Some of them are really good though. I get fooled every now and then.

    Sadly, I think there are people out there who do fall for these scams. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to continue.
