Another bank wants to give me money

Another spam scam! If I ask for the debit card, there will be either a large fee, or they’ll say that there’s a problem (due to the large sum) and thus they’ll need to do the wire transfer. Hmm. Should I send them my bank info? I don’t think so!

This scam was sent from an Gmail account; I can’t trace the actual ISP or country of origin.

Don’t reply, don’t be fooled.
