Email Scam # 26

Another Nigerian type e-mail scam. One would think that they would lower the amount of the "free funds" to make it more believable. Maybe they are just appealing to people's greed and banking (pun intended)on people seeing dollars signs and getting totally sucked in. I wonder how many people are sending these out - is it a small group or is it widespread? I wonder even more how many people actually respond to them.
