I was such a fool to believe that email! I even answered it, lol. And they answered back.
I don\’t get it, why do they do it? Please, if you have any information about it, please contact me: email removed

They do it because all it takes is a couple of people to generate some good cash. For example, if they were operating the scam out of Africa, getting a couple thousand of dollars off of someone from the US is worth so much more because of the difference in economies. When the person figures out that they got scammed, the odds of finding the people responsible are slim.

I got notification that I was a Million Dollar Winner too !!! YIPEE
I am playing their game,,,sending them e-mails back,,and they answer !!!
I find it very entertaining to play their game,,,,then call their bluff,,,,tell them to send me my winnings directly to me,,,that I do not have a bank account, but when I receive my winnings I will sure as hell open one,,,,seems to be the end of them once they know that you’re not going to give them your bank accopunt number or send them any money,,,damn,,,they must have a lot of time on their hands to answer all those e-mails,,,,

In our language exists a saying:
“Wise polish after a pity”.
I did two steps more and got counterfeit certificate when I paid “administrative fees” - 555,95 Euros for notary office {false} in
Amsterdam - BRR. Albert van Jansen.
As result a next criminal individual Philip der Brook requested successive
charges to open an Online Off-Shore Investment Account - 3,690 Euros.
Pay attention for identical surnames Brook - Brook.
He is “contact officer” of a fake company named Remac Investment & Securities,Amsterdam,The Netherlands.
I didn’t decide to pay and informed the local police about this dishonour
play,giving a big documentation,with copy of passport mr.Brook
included [IMHO also fiddle].
I hope,that my 4 week private investigation helps potential victims to protect them against
impudent activities.It is shame for me,but warning for others…
