I received the following attachment (text) to an email, which did not contain a virus. Their return email is from @zing.vn, which is a popular Vietnamese social networking site. However, it did ask for personal information of name, address, occupation, etc. NEVER give those things out. The current Director, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is Robert Werner, not Nancy Campbell. Also when the government writes up their name, they do not skip a period, at the end they used U.S without the last period. Then there is the upfront money - a clear indication that it's a scam, but oh - it's at a savings. LOL
Here is the scam.
