Vanity - Strange E-Mail I received, should I report it? (refers to Allah and hidden money)

We have received several of these, different from this. I saw somewhere they are initiated in Nigeria. The first one we got was from a Muslim Lawyer who suposedly represented someone deceased with our last name and he wanted us to claim millions to split with him. We printed out each communication.

The second was from some Muslim potentate's widow wanting us to fly to Germany and pick up her stolen millions to be split with her. I wonder how many people fall for this $$$ scam? I'm sure if you respond and go along there is money you have to pay for the privege of getting had.

Nothing to report. This is just another variation of the "Nigerian scam" that's been around for a long time. Total, complete B.S.

Ignore it and delete it.

Here's the one from the Barrister: Ali Ahmed for $3,000,000.00, asking for our address and phone number. Out of Nigeria.

Oh Yes, I remember when the Naugas were first discovered sending the Leather industry into a tailspin. Naugas had such indestructable inexpensive hydes, good for kitchen banquettes, etc..

I received something similar a while ago, requesting money. I just ignored it, but yours is a little different. I think you should report it because it is much more personal.

That was said over a 100 years ago. Think thats changed since then?

The sad parts are that naugas are so small and their hides so fragile they are skinned alive and then the hides are ironed together to make them seamless for furniture coverings, whereas, except for psychoceramics like PETA, hides from animals we normally eat are readily available.

By the way, my other nonprophet organization is PREVENT SUN BURNOUT, a very worthwhile charity badly needed by most the planet's inhabitants and worthy of consideration in you will.

 IF you are an AOL subscriber and you open (spam) email
from an AOL subscriber, they know your email address is a
valid one.

Unless AOL is unlike other ISPs, that is not correct.
Your server has to bounce back mail as undeliverable
to the sender for the sender to know the address is
no good.  If you delete email without opening it,
it does not alter the fact that it was delivered to you,
hence no notice of undeliverability goes to the sender.

Yes, it can hurt
