99% chance it's fraud (and like 86% of of statistics, I just made that up).

you can report it to
1) spamcop to get the zombie taken care of
and
2) yahoo (by forwarding full headers and message body) to ask them to examine the yahoo email address for complicity in fraud

forward email to: network-abuse
with fqdn: cc.yahoo-inc.com

This kind of scam with Yahoo contact addresses are easiest reported via the online report form http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse.html

yahoo takes reports quite seriously, I've gotten responses from humans within 24 hours (sometimes faster) regarding report spam, that contained @yahoo.* (to include .com .co.uk, .hk, etc...)

Thanks everyone. Good thing that I posted the entire thing here (although I can no longer forward it anywhere) so at least I can pass it on to the links suggested. I didn't report it to PIRT because it didn't ask for any specific personal information. I will probably get this one again -- this is the second time I've received it and if I do I'll go ahead and forward as advised. The second time around it was different because in the first one I asked for the name of my bank but no account numbers etc.

I recognized it as a probable scam and have alerted my friends and family to watch out for it. I'll give them in the same information I got here as to where they can report/forward.

Thanks again. -- SCB

Apart from the "money mule" aspect, it's also a case of straight forward money laundering.

When I did contract work for a major casino group (my girlfriend worked in admin. for them), I was told by the general manager, during a lghthearted discussion in the office, that:
"We don't care if a MVG (Most Valued Guest) signup account shows that the person earns 4,000,00 Dollars a month from their government dept. job, but gambles away 50,000,00 a day, day after day, at the casino. It's not our job to police the guests. If they steal the money from their workplace, they will probably be caught at some stage. In the meantime, it's revenue for the company..."

Also said was: "We, just like casino's worldwide, even have people that launder money through the casino system, because it's basically an almost guaranteed minimum 18% payback on the money they gamble away. That means it is money they are legally allowed to have, since they won it from a casino. Many win much more than the minimum..."

What makes me wonder, is why the Tax offices of various countries, do not have a team at each casino in the world, doing their own surveillance of guests...Then again, perhaps they do...
