Warning: Fraudulent Email

I have received tons of spam emails in the past telling me that I have won the lottery or inherited a huge amount of fortune overseas (does "Nigeria" ring a bell?). But that was years ago, and I already deleted my old email account then made a new one. So far I have not received a single email regarding frauds, to my surprise, I got one when I checked my email. I know I should not open this because they could trace that I did and would know that my account is active and would keep on sending spams, but I just want to share the recent scam email that I got.

Be careful who you share your email address to.
