This is an advanced fee scam... I also included the full headers. Law enforcement can get them by contacting Scamalot. Please read about the scam below...

The Federal Trade Commission has extended the claim filing deadline
for its $586 million settlement with Western Union. Consumers who’ve
previously lost money to a scammer that took payment through Western
Union now have until May 31st to file a claim and recoup those funds.

The settlement covers a wide range of potential victims; anyone who
got scammed between January 1st, 2014 to
December 31st, 2019 is eligible to submit a claim. You’re not
necessarily guaranteed to get all of your stolen cash back, however as
the FTC says “the amount you get will depend on how much you lost and
the number of people who submit valid claims.”


The process of going through those claims might take up to an entire
year, so don’t expect repayment anytime soon. A social security must
also be provided, as the Justice Department will check to see that you
don’t owe the feds any money. If you do, it’ll come out of your refund
amount.

If you got duped multiple times (come on, people), you can submit a
claim for each incident. Even those who have since lost the paperwork
related to the money transfer are encouraged to file for a refund.

The FTC and DOJ first announced this settlement with Western Union
back in January 2017. Their stance was that the wire transfer service
didn’t do nearly enough to protect the gullible folks among us from
the Nigerian princes of the world and other people running advance-fee
scams. The agreement covers nearly any instance of getting bamboozled
by someone so long as the money went through Western Union. The FTC
says these are just a few possibilities:
reconfirm your information such as;

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
