Email scammers at their bestest (not)

I received a scam email, my first for a while now and is it me or have they got ambitious?
There were so many zero's in the number it made my head spin..
It seems the UK Prime Minister has set a deadline where ALL debts must be paid no matter what the debt is.
Then goes on to mention scammers that want you to pay an upfront fee which is a percentage of the refund amount or in their words outragious fees.
Warns you not to contact these fraudsters because they do not have access to the real funds.
They require no bank details, just my name/address/occupation and a cell number. (why the occupation)?
They are going to send me a bank card that will let me withdraw $10,000 per day.
All they require from me is the postage costs to send the ATM card. A bargain at $275. Seems this is a bargain because they got 50% off their signed contract.
So tempted.
Its even signed by a MR (mans name), previously they have sent Mr and womens names or Mrs (mans names).

Is it a PRAISE, VENT or WARNING post? I think they all apply.
Praise them for warning me against scammers that want a large % of my "inheritence/windfall"?
And for being so generous in only wanting the postage costs refunded for sending me the bank card or cheque.
Also letting me know that postage in the US is so expensive, who would have thought sending a cheque (check) or ATM card costs $500 in the US.
Now i know why the US guys on youtube think $3000-$10,000 for a tool is peanuts and an offer not to be missed.
Vent, well not really it was a nice change to receive an honest email.
Warning, OH YES... We will all regret it if we do not take up any offer like this.
pappa golf will be kicking themself when i am withdrawing $10,000 from the cashpoint on a friday night and depriving the half drunken louts of their next round.
I will be able to start my own youtube channel and say look what you can do if you spend £2,000,000 on this machine. If you cannot afford it then work harder or check your spam folder more often
Anyone want me to forward your email to them?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
