Has anyone recieved a mail from this person [DaviddMaxense7204@lingvaoptima.ru], claiming that your transaction has been confirmed from Spilo Worldwide; in my case the amount is $5,256,51. Apart from the obvious, the error in the dollar amount, I mean the error in commas and decimal points, it's award-winning.

Has anyone actually ever found out what the purpose of these frauders is?

Could be money laundering Nov 13, 2015

Back in the mid-1990s I used to get e-mail with "business opportunities" from places like Russia, Moldova, etc. whereby I would receive funds (allegedly as wire transfers) and once the funds cleared, I would remit the money to a third party, keeping a small commission for myself. A banker suggested that this was probably a money laundering operation, as the sums were considerable. At any rate, I was never tempted.

No, there are so many different ones now Nov 13, 2015

Not sure what this one is about, but Kevin could well be right. Why not be proactive and contact the company directly to try to find out? If a company's name is being used for fraud, they often know about it - and sometimes post warnings on their website.

The URL looks odd, but it worked for me.

"Advance payment" scam? Nov 14, 2015

It could be an "advance payment" scam. Maybe they are planning to ask you for the money paid by mistake, for instance.
