Yes, it's a scam.

If you don't know the author of an email personally, in real life, it's junk. Delete it, don't even open it.

RULES FOR E-MAIL


1. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SENDER, PUT A CHECK MARK IN BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE

2. IF THERE IS NOTHING IN THE SUBJECT AREA, AGAIN PUT A CHECK MARK IN THE BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE.

3. IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL AND THE MESSAGE AREA THE IS ONLY AN ATTACHMENT, AGAIN CHECK MARK IN THE BOX AND MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE.


THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON WAYS FOR SPAMMERS TO SEND VIRUS AND SPYWARE THOUGH THE E-MAIL SYSTEM.

ANOTHER THING IS IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, CHANCES ARE IT IS! MARK AS SPAM AND DELETE.

THERE IS A WEB SITE THAT YOU CAN CHECK OUT MOST E-MAILS THAT KEEP SHOWING UP OVER AND OVER TO SEE IF THEY ARE TRUE.

http://www.snopes.com also called the urban legends site.

yes - this is a very common scam. You will be asked for some money up front as a release fee, they will issue you with a fake check.

It's an old SCAM, and here's roughly how it works:
They give you a check or money order or other financial instrument. They tell you to take it to your bank and deposit or cash it. You are then supposed to give a portion of it to some third party. After some time, the check is found to be no good, fraudulant, worthless. The bank withdraws whatever funds it gave you from this check. Of course, the third party is now long gone with the cash you gave them - now out of your own pocket :(
Another variation is when you sell something. They send you a check for more than the price. They tell you they are having someone pick up the item for them, and they are charging a delivery fee. They ask you to cash the check and give the extra to the delivery guy. Of course, the check turns out bad, but the 'delivery guy' is long gone with both your money AND your item.
THESE ARE ALWAYS SCAMS!!!!!

no please don't. they want to give you money for transfering funds. sounds like what drug pushers do arround here. sounds illegal.

[lucee]

Good grief yes it's a fake. You are just about to be taken to the cleaners, financially. You should never have opened this, because now the spammer has your ID and email address. Start putting this junk in spam UNOPENED!

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
