I did a quick search and couldn't find any info. I just received this Gmail in my catcher account. Since it's gmail, I can't trace it...

Dear Friend,
I'm happy to inform you about my success in getting those funds transferred under the cooperation of a new partner from Chile. Presently I'm in Chile for investment projects with my own share of the total sum. Meanwhile, I didn't forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us some how.

Now contact my secretary, his name is Mr Ibrahim adam
,Email' ([email protected] )ask him to send you the total $800.000.00 which I kept for your compensation for all the past efforts and attempts to assist me in this matter.

I appreciated your efforts at that time very much. so feel free and get in touched with my secretary Mr. Ibrahim and instruct him where to send the amount to you. Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy after all the sufferness at that time. in the moment,

I am very busy here because of the investment projects which me and the new partner are having at hand, finally,remember that I had forwarded instruction to the secretary on your behalf to receive that money,

so feel free to get in touch with Mr Ibrahim adam and he will send the
amount to you without any delay.
With best regards,

Definitely a strange one... would a lad really be that naive and sign up a Gmail Account that refers to Jokester and Jokenator. I doubt it. Smells like a foul badger to me... especially knowing that Gmail can't be traced.

Then again. BADgers are on the endangered list. Perhaps this is an angry lad trying to get revenge on us baiters so he's like new breed of BADgers with mugu blood.

I'll put him on Open Season... so feel free to hunt him down.

...and still crying out meles meles? Very Happy

It's indeed an ASEM that's been making the rounds for - at least - more than a year. No, it's not a badger. No, it's not a lad "testing" victims. It's a perfectly ordinary format. It always is.
