Fake Notification of Payment by ATM Master Credit Card

We hate to generalize but has Nigeria really become synonymous with scam, fraud, scammers, liars, con artists, etc? They probably concocted the concept along with South Africa.

The misspellings and wrong grammar on this scam email shouts fraud already. We don't know why they even bother to make one if they haven't even heard of spell check on the computer! But what's worse is there are still people who fall for it! We say it again, if it's too good to be true then it is a scam! Plain and simple.
