Exclamation Has anyone seen this yet?

Got this STRANGE email from a 'dealer'......could it be a scam? LOL!!!






Copies and pasted: I'm 'guessing; he is referring to my S class?


Dear Jeremy
How are you.
I have been given an employee benefit to buy any luxury Car as an employee for myself or friend or relative with a discount of 45%.
Usually what other senior employees do at this stage is to find a reliable customer and make a confidential deal with the customer.
We cant even discuss this over the phone so you know how confidential this really is.
The deal is there is a $108,000 vehicle now which I have been given this employee benefit on.
I will buy out this vehicle for you as my friend for this $108,000.
The same day we buy it, I will resale it to a couple from the Emirates was in our showroom yesterday and wants this specific vehicle. They have accepted to pay $215,000 on this vehicle.
You and I will be making a profit of $107,000 from this sale. We can share this profit equally. We should get this done today and by tomorrow we will have this profit right in our hands is the Emirates couple is paying cash.
If this interests you, respond asap before I help another customer with this opportunity.

I am confiding in you because I feel a sort of connection between us in the sense that I find you as a reliable person.
Regards,
Bob

OMG, most definitely a scam. Poor writing skills and the ridiculous offer gives it away immediately.

Your email may be hacked by opening this email. That's usually how these guys get more addresses to send these types of emails out.
