FOREIGN PAYMENT INVESTIGATION. (Nigerian 419 Advance-Fee Fraud Scam from "MR. AFRED MARK")

Scammers seem to believe they can just make up another name, another dollar amount, stick it in a worn-out scam and it will be taken seriously. That's the case here with "Mr. Afred Mark" as he calls himself. He is trying to make me believe that I have Big Bucks coming to me, but of course I happen to know better. If I reply and comply, instead of getting money, I will get robbed. So, instead I send him a reply that will have him scratching his head a bit!
