    For Gods sake

    well

    This is a bit of common if obscure news, the technique is common the message is not terribly compelling, or will make a lot of sense to most westerners who are currently ignorant enough to fall for the scam. I think you might have to pull your head out of your entrails a little to know what the email is going on about and if you did that you would also might notice that clicking on addresses in emails you didn't ask for or know the sender of is wrong. This might work better in Asia.
