It never ceases to amaze me...

... that people continue to fall for emails like this. I mean, I get so many of them that they must be working at least once in a while for these senders or they wouldn't continue to write them and send them in the first place.

There is indeed a Fidelity Investments International in Hildenborough, Kent but just typing in "Fidelity Investments International" into Google immediately brings up the search suggestion "Fidelity Investments International scam."

There are so many things wrong with this email that I barely know where to start:

1. It's by email. Who realistically believes that financial windfalls or money-making opportunities appear in your personal email inbox?
   
2. I have no dealings with FII.
3. It's not even personally addressed to me.
4. Anything that says that someone "...secretly extracted..." something should be an instant red flag.
5. It's full of financial jargon that even I don't understand (ok, I'm no financial guru but still) - for instance, what average gal or guy knows what "Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit" actually IS? (If it's even something that exists at all.)
6. Incredibly obvious Red Flag #2: "Do not contact my office number or email, all correspondence must be on this private box." Read as: "Don't try to call the real FII by email or phone because they'll have no idea who I am or what you're talking about."
7. Tagging onto #5, incredibly obvious Red Flag #3: It's from an untraceable, free gmail 'personal' email address. What reputable person would do business this way?
8. It's completely non-sensical. Even I don't understand exactly what Mr. William Moore wants me to do (aside from give him confirmation that mine is a real email address and provide him with my personal phone# -- NOT) OR what I'm supposed to get out of it exactly.

So, WHO ON EARTH ACTUALLY RESPONDS TO THESE THINGS?
