So they don't even own a domain, using a hotmail addy. They are alluding to Microsoft involvement, how amateur can it get?

Hi,
the reference no is the same as the one used here (http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1548296)

You should see the scam mail I've collected, One thing is for sure, multi-millionaires in Africa always fly Crash'n'Burn Airways....
And for some reason leave millions in cash in banks instead, say, investments. One come to mind, a air-worthy plane.
