Obviously this guy put some effort into building a believable scam. But the devil is still in the details, and he is missing crucial points, sadly.
- Cousin(petercharles@www.paypal.co.uk) has created… -> Is it a guy named "Cousin"? If then why is his email address is "Peter Charles"? If it is one of my cousin, write "One of your cousins".
- The chance of having a cousin called "Peter Charles" should be small, especially considering I am a Japanese living in Taiwan. My email address contains my whole name, family name and given name. Hey, the victim is already offering his ID at free charge! Can’t you generate something believable?
- When did we start having "www." after the "@" mark? In an email address?
