STUPID Spammers

I get this type of e-mail on my business account all of the time. I can actually see something like this working. But the "formula" is always the same.

Quote:
Dear Sales,

I would like to order some of your products,we are located in Solomon Island, can you send me your website so that i can send you the list of products needed and also will like to know the type of credit card you accept for payment..and also i will like to let you know i have a personal shipping agent that i worked with for years. I worked with them alone due to problem bringing down orders to this location.please advise so that i can proceed by going ahead to place the order as soon as your website is

confirmed. I look forward to reading from you soon.

Regards,
You're e-mailing me, and my e-mail address domain is the same as my website.

My Name is part of my e-mail address. Call me by my first name, or phone me, since the phone number is also on the website. What business is going to fall for this?
