A mail just rolled in "Is it true that you are dead?".
 
How do you reply to these? ;-)
 
I mean, anyone ever confirmed in a reply he is dead? What happened
then? *g*

If it's not someone you recognize, then it's likely
a scammer being edgy.  Check the sender's IP address
against DNSBLs, and consider reporting it to SpamCop
and/or some other anti-spam database that automates
reports to internet providers of spammer activity.

I am totally aware, that these guys are from Nigeria, Benin or around
there.

Btw. I created a web page where I list existing email addresses of
Nigerian scammers and others.

According to the counter there the majority actually harvests on this
page from Nigerian, Benin, Ivory Coast, then USA and others. Let's me
assume many/most Nigerian scammers actually are locate there. Or have at
least their tech infrastructure connected to a Nigerian ISP.
