Not 100% sure about this one but it wound up in my catcher e-mail and it's got some of the hallmarks of bad spelling associated with the lads (namely piss poor word spacing) and the click here link doesn't work at all.

Lady Wolf, can you go and check that email again, and where it says "click Here or follow the link on the left", hover your cursor over the link, write the url down and paste it here, cheers.
I had a look at the domain from where the email was allegedly sent:
www.califire.net
That domain was registered a few days ago on a cheap German freenet domain/email service, and I'm thinking that if it was legit, there would be some mention of it on Google, but there is nothing:

That's just the thing, I hover over it, and try to click on it but nothing happens, or pops up, and the text that says "here" isn't even a different color or properly spaced out from the word "or" so I think the Lad sabatoged himself by mis spacing the wording so he invalidated his own link (I wonder if he'll ever realize his paypal link is bogus, given his apparent lack of brains so far I'm guessing not..) |

Also another strange thing I noticed afer someone kindly pm'd me to block my catcher mail addy from showing in the original post is the e-mail doesn;t even look like it's intended for my account. (I use a gmail catcher and this looks to be originally sent to a yahoo mail but wound up in my box somehow.
That would probably explain why the link to paypal wasn't working, but how did it wind up in my box? Fowarded perhaps?

This guy is in Nigeria. He's probably busy filling out my 17 page security form so I can wire my $50,000 donation. He's already provided me with his bank account information, but alas it seems that the account has been suspended |
