My Father got one, apparently from a trusted person, telling he's in trouble somewhere and needs money + phone. As he doesn't read English (this one was in German, but that's not our mother tongue), he hasn't been seasoned with the Nigerian scams and replied. The person (a professor with many contacts evidently) got the mail ok and replied his e-mail had been corrupted.
Evidently we have to 'detox' father's PC, too.
