    The e-mail comes from an IP address located in China, but
    what is unsual is the use of a UK geographic number to perpetrate the fraud.

    Try giving the guy a call and see what he has to offer you.

    Thanks, I think I'll give them a miss, like all the rest we get.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Seriously, would anyone be taken in by such a poor grammatical, badly spelled letter or email?

    When I called him, he claimed (in his almost unintelligible West African accent) that he was born in Chi Chester but was now in Nottingham, London, UK

    +441157141762 is a UK number (Nottingham, in fact). The calls are totally free on my call plan.

    I don't see any reason why you shouldn't consider taking this opportunity if you are interested. What is the worst that can happen if you do later determine it to be fraudulent?

    If it is a money laundering operation or a drug shipping operation, I could easily fall foul of the law!

    It is a sad fact that some people in this world do actually fall for scams like this.
