Not sure how you in America have been targeted for this scam. It is known
over here in the UK as a "419 scam".

Plenty of information by searching on that phrase.

recently I've been getting several emails from scammers and questions

sellers as to if these are legit or not...they are NOT....beware!
typical email scams like below usually have especially bad grammar and
spelling, but this isn't enough to identify the scammers, een they have

spell checkers and grammar checkers on their PC's
Warning beware of scams!
If you receive an email similar to this example it is a scam!
