I just received this email. Is this a real warning or another scam?

Hi,

If you have gotten an email from a guy named "Robert Spencer", claiming that you can "get rich quick", delete it. He is a scammer from Nigeria who is trying to steal your money. Do not give him any money.

That's probably a legitimate warning. I'm not familiar with any kind of scams that lead with something like that.

It's probably from a scam-savvy recipient who warned everyone in a CC list on a scam email s/he received. Just respond with a simple: "Thanks, I"m a baiter."

I got that as well and traded a couple of emails with the warner this afternoon.
The warning was sent from a new member here, Burty.
