Have seen the same scam before and read about a guy that actually received a cheque which of course was false.
Have also had several mails and letters from Nigerian officials and band directors with Hotmail and Yahoo adresses. Have replied to several of them which all tend to dissappear when I give them a flase bank account number and ask them to send me $10000,- to ensure good faith. Seems these Hotmail Bank Directors doesn't have the same trust in people that they expect us to have.

The sad thing is that even as obvious these scams are and even if we sit here laughing at these dumb scam artist, my fellow countrymen pay out something like $ 6 million every year hoping to get something back from a guy with only a Yahoo mail adress...must be the same guys that invest in WGI and T5PC, sad.
