The way to tell is if the $ exists in an email from someone you don't know. You might be interested to know that there are a couple online communities who's sole purpose is to wind up scammers like one who sent you that email. Look up "Nigerian 419 scam" and then "419 scam baiting" to learn more.

What happens is they promise a large sum of money of you only pay them a "minor" fee to "release funds" or something. So you send them a couple hundred or thousand dollars in hopes of getting much more, then you never hear from them again. If you feel like wasting your time, you could string them along...prank them back.
One of my husband's best friends fell for it twice. TWICE!!! One from a pretty African princess and another time from a Russian orphan. Both had a huge inheiritance and both had their lawyer call him. That's how he knew it was real. idiot
Nigeria has (I think) the largest pop. of any African nation. 419 is the legal code in Nigeria for internet fraud. I'm sure they come from all over the world, but that's where it's at. I've read interviews with people that actually do it. They don't really care about the victims ('mugu') as apparently they're owed money from white people! They do it from Internet cafés and the police pretty much turn a blind eye. To my horror - my mum told me that my aunt got done by one of these. I'm actually ashamed to be related to someone who could be fooled by that. But hey she's a lonely widow and obviously not that savvy!
he finally went here http://stop-scammers.com/ and not only found them (I mean the pictures they used), but others girls he had been talking to. Shalonda was the princess and Elvira was the Russian orphan.
I get soooooo many of these. I usually tell because the message title has an amount of money in it, or it's a foreign name. I emailed back to one of them saying sorry that I can't help, and the person emailed back. I was surprised.
I register them with as many things as I can. E.g. Google "enter your email" and visit every result pasting their email addresses in!
Look at this! I got another one! Dear Friend, My name is Mr .David Anderson , I am a senior banker in a bank here in the Madrid Spain. I am contacting you for a business transfer, of a huge sum of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that everything documents that will bring about the success of this transaction would be provided, and all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction. The deceased person Neal Walker died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline 990 with other passengers on board was an American Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals Corporation. You can confirm his death from the website below which was published by BBC WORLD NEWS. WEBSITE. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death, none of his next-of-kin are alive to make claims for this money as his heir, because they all died in the same accident himself and his wife (May their soul rest in peace). We cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased, as all documentations will be carefully worked to make you the beneficiary to the funds #16,150 000 00 US Dollar (Sixteen million, one hundred and fifty thousand United State Dollar) which will be released in your favour as the next of kin. Because after few years now the money will be called back to the bank bond treasury as unclaimed bills and the money World be share amongst the directors of the bank. However, this make me decide to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year. It may interest you to know that we have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries.
