1. I get those and throw them away.

Aside from the fact that they are written by somekind of foreign national with imperfect knowledge of English, I'm afraid of the fact that you wouldn't know for sure where the money came from, so it could be money laundering.

7. Actually, you don't get any money

They get your bank account information.

4. The only way to STOP them is to find and prosecute every single one.

Simply not possible, I'm afraid. :shrug:

6. There's a sucker born every minute

Barnum knew it and took advantage of it. These scammers do as well. Con men have always been around and always will be, I guess.

Unsolicited emails promising big bucks and littered with incorrect spelling and grammar should be enough of a clue to put most people off "too good to be true" deals like this. Others will always insist on learning the hard way. It's difficult to save people from themselves.
