Metals UK Limited

This spam originated at IP address 196.3.182.250, belonging to CTAccess, a broadband provider in Abuja, Nigeria. Need I say more? It's a scam -- probably cheque fraud. So far as I can tell, "Metals UK" is a real company (he provides a link to their website, and lists their address), and this Nigerian is an impostor pretending to represent them. Note that he uses a UK +4470 telephone number, which can be forwarded to any other phone number in the world.
