While this is absolutely a scam, I have to give it to the criminals for something original. They still don’t get the details, which is good for us. Details such as the Department of Justice using a free web-based email account or referring to the amount as “$FIVE MILLION U.S dollars” are a dead giveaway. We won’t even mention the poor grammar, oh wait, we just did.
