The funny part? This guy is real! I looked him up!
He's also been arrested for assorted financial funny business.
They have to use existing names to gain the trust of "believers".
Names of FBI-directors etc are continuously abused. I'll never understand how people can fall for this.
We are all smart, but somewhere there must be people who do fall for it. Otherwise these ...ahum.... Would not continue these scam practices.
I think the "real" scammer is whoever sold this guy the templates and mailing list ... that person probably got paid whether or not anyone ever responds to one of these.
It's like the surest way to make money in real estate is to give seminars on how to make money in real estate ...
There is no mailing list. The recipient of the first mail will never see his/her e-mail address in the To:-field.
Only if you reply the get hold of your address.
The first mail will always be addressed to a "dear benefeciary" because they simply don't have a name of a recipient.
