Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

I got the exact email also and found it odd. I check them out and found they had a very sophisticated website http://www.ciec-trade.com/ which made them all that more convincing. I didn't go further, but if I was really interested, I would check with the Federal Trade Commission to see what records they have on them.
