Yeah, I got this too. I went to the link (to leave some abusive user name and pass), but they were already shut down.

 

[IBuyUFO]

That was fast. I sent them an email when I got it even before I posted the first message.

Their english seems to be almost as good as their website. Looks like some 13 year old kiddie has way too much free time.

You gotta love these scams...they're always so funny

I didn't read the email but I just noticed that there are a lot of mispelling. Instead of trying to make it rich they should concentrate on their school work and make an honest buck.
