WARNING! SCAM. This sounds new. Same issue, but different approach.

WARNING! SCAM.
I faintly remember a name of a Diann Sargent from somewhere, and I figured this was a scam from the start but it had what looked like a legitimate  email from the sender. (Diann Sargent) and so I check in on the school. I did not email the suggested (personal email) but Yep, that school does exist. So I did a search on the senders name at that school on the website. It gave me an address and #.  Yep. She does work there. So I called the school, they passed me on to her. Got her on the phone and of course, she never heard of Mrs V. Abady and has not sent out any emails pertaining to this. Doesn't know anything about it.  Here is the email. The announcement of the "worth about $2M is a tell tale sign.


 Hello,
 
 I tried contacting you yesterday about the charity fund worth about $2M proposed by Mrs V. Abady as she seeks your help. I am her Personal Assistant and I hope that you can contact her immediately only at her private email address below for more information:
 
 PRIVATE EMAIL: va33@rogers.com

OK question - how do the
"I need 2000 size small gildan cotton shirts shipped to brooklyn do you accept mastercard - nigel from nigeria" scams work?

I assume a stolen credit card, but??? where's the profit? reselling the shirts later??
Cardholder loses, sure but is that worth the paper trail for something that can net you what,, 1500 bones?

Anyone tracked any of these down further?

[screenxpress]

if 1500 bones is too lean for you, would you share some of your wealth?   

That's a kings ransom in some of these 3rd world countries.  And what if he scores 3 a month?  Not too shabby to me.
