As you can see, 1. The grammar is a bit off. 2. The person to be wired the money is in Turkey 3. The person receiving the money sounds a bit Muslim (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think most Americans are leery of names with Abdul in them!) 4. Not many people know this, but WalMart doesn't use third party evaluators for its marketing becasue it has too much to hide!
Today, I received an envelope with a "check" written off of an account from "State Employees' Credit Union" in Raleigh, NC for $2,850.12, the amount mentioned in the e mail. I have reported the e amil address to Dept. Of Homeland Security. I am now researching the check to see what I can find, myself!
