What about a five billion USD loan?

In priori posts (here and here) I have written about scam, but what reached my mailbox today beats all the prior attempts and brings scam to a new league of ridiculousness. Here’s the content

Amazing, one could get a 5 billion loan, just by sending an email to a Hotmail address. Maybe countries like Greece which are struggling which their budget would be interested in contacting that guy :-)

    Eh eh, well, maybe if my company had got such a loan, my salary would not decrease this year ^^ I can probably get a better job in Greece :D

    Speaking about scam, I recently received some mails which are actually quite difficult to distinguish from legit mails. The only problem is that they assume I am a client of a French ISP (domain of the mail address I receive this mail at), but I am not ^^. I think many people can be caught by this one… Even the grammar and orthograph in the mail is almost correct :D

    In fact, since roughly half a year I also receive some pretty well made scam mails, which try to fake scientific meetings and congresses. At the first glance they look like real, but reading through them makes clear, that some guys just want to access to your wallet. It seems that those people check private and meeting home pages, collect information and then send out mass email to all the mail addresses they find, using some of the keywords located on the meeting HP.
