Got this email in poor english, claiming to be from europay, an europen credit card company that merged with mastercard. The site they list is europay.us, but the phone listed is not even connected. The email was in fact sent from India with a reply address in canada. If enforcement reads this, it sounds like money laudering. Here's is eveything I got including headers.

EuroPay started its activity in the US market in 2007 and will gradually implement and provide full range of services facilitating trade and financial operations between Europe and the US as set forth in its business plan. Cash Services are regarded as initial and most demanded at the starting stage. Their relevance is resulting from a number of factors. Russia has recently occupied one of the leading export positions to North America and great numbers of Russian businesses already export their goods to the US. Still young and not fully shaped, this market forces exporters to face the problem of settling their financial relations with US customers caused by the following reasons:
Business activities in the US are possible only provided exporter has a special license that allows accepting payments from US customers.
Generally obtaining the license is extremely time-consuming for the exporter.
Therefore our company offers its services as a middleman
between US customers and Russian exporter.
Diversity and incompatibility of various payment systems established in the US pose another difficulty for the exporter striving to sell products to the US.
Exporters are obliged by law to have a financial representative to carry out any currency transaction in the US.
