Phish: Dear Client

This is a weird one. I'm not even going to get into the misspellings and poor grammar which should easily give this away as a SCAM to anyone who's paying attention.

But seriously. They say that I was unable to pay a transaction fee to access my $500,000 bank draft? So they're lending me $5000 to access it? And then you have to pay another $25,000 once you get the 500K? This one is way more complicated than most spam/phish/scams.

Besides, aren't bank drafts loans? And of what use is my age and occupation to delivering a check to me? Gods, do people fall for this stuff?
