Phish: Business intent please reply immediately

Ok, what the heck does "Delta State" mean? Is this a particular part of the world? Or maybe they think that's my name? Details, people, the key to a good scam is details.

Obviously this is a pathetic scam. 50 million dollars and all you have to do to get 20% of that is tell them what to buy? I don't think so. Seriously, if these people were legit I'd label them idiots with whom I'd rather not be associated. Asking a random stranger to give you investment advice? Uh, not too bright- especially if you plan to take it.

So while this is obviously a scam, I'm also labeling it "stupid people".
