The truly sad part is that the frequency of these emails is evidence that people are falling for them.

I think it is a legit thing, do it.

When the sender is contacting you to "secure an opportunity" and they have "substantial capital" it has to be legit, right?

AKA Nigerian advance funds fraud scam...

I think there was some website that featured people reverse scamming the scammers. Some of them were pretty creative.

Me, I'd rather spend my time playing bass.

You can copy/paste the message's "re:" part to a dummy e-mail adress to send it from. These guys only keep track when you answer.
