But after I read it I noticed that it seemed somewhat legit: it gave a street address, a site including sponspors, the name email telephone and fax number of my "fiduciary agent", and the name and position of the person writing the email. I also noticed that there were some aspects that seemed un-business-like: a few grammar and capitalization errors. But all this can be fake and fail to prove anything.I went to the sponsor websiteis also hard to tell the authenticity of, because I can't read most of it. But it looks like a legit website and Red Bull is a sponsor as well as Porche. And it isn't like they asked for anything that they could exploit and get money from, they just wanted me to reply back with the reference number given above (which I concealed with #'s just incase this is real :lol:)I already replied to the person that sent me the email notification with a response of, "How do I know this is legit?". But the email looks like it isn't actually used, it is:see.message13@virgilio.itI also sent an email to my "fiduciary agent" with a more elaborate question also asking for prove of authenticity. But if this is a scam, he is going to be in on it and just provide more false information.Other than calling that long distance number and getting a huge bill over something that might be a hoax, how can I figure out if this is real?

I average about 6 of these Nigerian scams a day... but this one is priceless: his deceased client wants to invest in my company!

I am Mr Henry Karma,an Account Officer with Transcorp Finance House.Its give me the responsibility and keen interest in contacting you.

I have a client a (Deceased) whom deposited his fund with our finance company for safe keeping only.He wishes to invest in a stable economy before his untimely death occured to him on the 05/03/2004 (Cause of Death:Heart Failure)Before his sudden death occurred to him,His interest is in companies with potentials for rapid growth in long terms.

My Deceased client is interested in investing part of his fund under your advise, if your country's laws allows foreign investment.

If this proposal meets your interest you can contact me via my mail adress;henrykarma@ gmail.com

Thank you and GOD bless you.
Henry
