Interesting thing about this one is that even what it's *pretending*
to be true would be illegal. I think all the others I've had
(including an hilarious one from "Mobutu Sese-Seko's widow", whose
billions - not millions - had been "frozen", the poor dear) have at
least pretended that the sender is somehow a victim of circumstance,
rather than a would-be crook.

Hmmm, thinks: maybe this one is a poorly-conceived police sting; it
would be just like cops to get the angle slightly wrong.
