'Impex Delivery Services' Scam Dangles Fake Inheritance to Make Money

The "Nigerian prince" scam is still alive and well, it seems, only it keeps cropping up under different names. This time, this extremely transparent and extremely rudimentary scam has come back around under the name "Impex Delivery Services" scam.

The essence of the advance-fee scam remains the same - victims receive an email promising them a ludicrous amount of money, this time as inheritance, as long as the victim makes a relatively small payment first.

Shockingly, this type of scam still makes criminals incredible amounts of money. Of course, there is no inheritance, and if you do make a payment, your money will disappear forever.

The full text of the scam email is as follows:
