ONCE I HEAR FROM YOU,I WILL FORWARD TO YOU ALL THE INFORMATIONS YOU WILL USE TO GET THIS FUND RELEASED FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND TO BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Answer 1

Note these scammers ALWAYS quote the amount in words, AND in text.

Also they fail to mention WHAT website they got your email from ! Are you on an email listing site ? Prob not.

It's lying in a security Co in Europe -. . . Do you KNOW of any Co's that will accept a 5 MILLION deposit to be released to some as yet unknown person ?

Basically it's playing on peoples greed, once you start communication IF you give them info, kiss goodbye to any money in that account, also they often perform identity theft and take out loans in your name too . . .

Answer 2

It is fruadulent.

You shouldn't open unsolicted email from unknown sources. Often what happens is that when you open up spam, it sends back a trigger to the originating source indicating that a valid email address has been found thus subjecting you to even more spam down the road. Even using the preview pane in email products sends web beacons back to spammers.( http://helpdesk.gwu.edu/mailfilter/spam.html )

However, in this case since you have already opened up this email which is a probably a variant of the 419 Nigerian phishing scheme, display all headers and send it to Fraud Watch International. The email address is in the link to the webpage below.

There are a couple Yahoo pages dedicated to the 419 Fraud
