Subject: THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE
I have just sent the money this morning as you requested yesterday but this will be the last time I will be sending money to Nigeria because I had to go with a friend of mine before getting this money to u and every necessary information you need to pick the money up has been attached and the senders name is Debbie Hamilton, mtcn : 662:623:6744 . so get ur fucking ass down here or else am not going to send any more money.
Love U
Contained within the email, made to look like a Western Union document was an EXE file which likely contains malware designed to hijack my computer and subvert it to use as part of some criminal enterprise or simply to gain access to my files.
As a possible subplot within this scheme, it's written in such a way that a potential reader may come to think that an innocent person is being scammed and will then try to warn the sender that they didn't request any money to be sent. The only thing that would come of that is that the well-intentioned person would simpky have their email address added to the scammers' database.
It's a nice try, but no catch here.
