    It's just a variation on the old 419 scam (which is almost as old as the internet itself).

    There is one guy out there who calls himself the Ebola Monkey Man and his site is dedicated to pissing these sort of morons off and costing them as much of their money as he can in the process.

    So they provide you with stolen credit cards so you can use them to buy stuff and send it on to them ... Nice!

    I knew it was iffy when i first seen it, but what bothered me was the fact that i had it through my ISP email which i only use for friends etc, also in the mail it said nigeria but his email ended in .co.nz which i thought (i could be wrong) means new zealand, Oh and he has the same surname as me, could this be linked to how i received it?
