I contacted the real people he was saying he was and come to find out he had ate lunch at the Blue Grotto Restaurant in New York and paid with his credit card,from which the scammers friend who just so happened to work there had gotten the Credit Card numbers and gave them to the scammer.He had sent me a check for several thousand from Best Buy LLC,in minnesota(who i contacted as well). Needless to say the FBI did nothing as far as finding this guy,i found him and tracked everything related to this scam directly from the internet myself,including the address of his scammed establishment,the original owner of the name used,Credit Card,phone numbers,and address of the scammer and his exact location at the time of sending the emails,and his cell phone number. Good thing i have around 26 email addresses,when i get the same email in several email addresses,i get started tracking.

I received a similar mail, telling Bill Gates is offering 1 Million USD for best performers. My name was also included in the list. But later we reported and scamster got caught. Hi

Need to find out a solution which can block spam mails and hence, make lives of a lot of people easier as snail mail if not dead is going to be soon extinct. Google has a good way with "Report Spam" . It is not yet foolproof. Yahoo! does not have any! And MS will come after-wards only, after somebody does it! It is like the proverbial cure for Cancer with no concrete form of cure so far. And we are seeing email since the birth of internet ! Or is there anything out there, which I do not know yet?

Satyam and Raju have been on the front pages of NYTimes and CNBC, so I suspect name recall of Satyam, if not Raju is pretty high. And the very helpful links in the email will no doubt help the recall for those gullible enough to take the email seriously. Basab - maybe you can have some research run on earnhardt electric (the apparent domain of the email's sender) on gridstone's platform? When i googled, some company in South Carolina came up, though I don't know if the domain belongs to them. Ha – So Raju has made it to the Nigerian hall of fame.
