The best thing to do is flag the email and send a CAM.  Give them all the information possible in your CAM.  DO it as fast as you can each time you get one of the emails.  The faster you report, the faster the MODs can remove them and the fewer people who will get caught in the scams.

Yes, it's the classic Nigerian 419 scam.  Same wording as countless others, only the names have been changed.

Please note that the moderators CAN'T do anything about messages that were received via email or any other source outside of MM, reporting those messages will only take up everyones valuable time.  Moderators WILL investigate MM accounts IF the message was received through the MM message system, and they'll remove the persons MM account if they're found to be scammers or spammers.
