I think this scam attempt is a pretty new one. I notice that the scammers have noticed that websites such as this one exists, and write that this mail has been sent out to many receivers. However, if it looks like a scam mail, is written like a scam mail, have all the markings of a scam mail and is sent from Nigeria, you can be pretty sure that it is a scam mail.

Funny bit there. The scammers warn their victims about themselves. Nice touch.
However, if you have received one of these, you can trash it without further notice. Nobody gives away free ATM cards with 700 dollars on them.
