Here are some other clues to the scam:

    *

      Pigeon English - Notice that as the scammer gets past the initial template email and must write free-form, how his grammar, spelling and basic sentence structure go straight in the toilet. Note the bizarre, almost random capitalization. The scammers don't even know how to use spell checkers.  After all, this is a stupid, low-life criminal in the heart of Africa, who probably dropped out of school at age 5 to join a gang or militia. Obviously, real businesses proofread their emails; they look and read more professional.
    *

      Using free email account: The scammer is writing to you from a FREE email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, AIM, Gmail, etc.).  Don't you think a real organization would use its own email, its own domain and website?
    *

      "SHALOM COURIER SERVICE COMPANY BENIN REPUBLIC" - Have you ever heard of SHALOM COURIER SERVICE COMPANY BENIN REPUBLIC? What is it's website?  Why wasn't that in the email?
