I've been scam baiting for over a year and I've seen even LESS believable scams then that. Scammers play the numbers game. If only 1 in a million people will fall for it - then they will simply email it to 10 million email addresses.

The 'za' domain is for South Africa. The Zaire domain is 'cd'. So send money.
