The "winner" asked some questions about the courier company. Notice how "Dr Thomas Walter" in his reply started using a virus scanner, which he didn't have before? That's because this email is from a different source. The victim has already been passed on to the enxt stage in the scam. This email originates from Nigeria, not the UK. This "Thomas Walter" is actually the same person as the "Paul Reid" of "Speedfast Worldwide Services" mentioned in this email. The postal address is the same as for "Dgcourier Service" in another version of the scam.
Hello Surname, I am happy for your prompt reply but i wold rather that you get the information you asked for from the courier company because there would be in a better position to let you on on it. We have sent your details as well as your cheque to them thi morning so we believe that there are in control now and will attend to you once you can reach them with your information. You are to contact the courier at once on the requirements to sending your to you. Below are their contact details: SpeedFast Worldwide Services Rovex House, Hay Hall Rd., Tyseley, Birmingham.
