spam/scam email

I got this here at work a few minutes ago. It's some B.S. work computer so I'm not too worried about it. Anybody seen anything like it before? It's obviously some sort of fraud thing but any new info that someone might have I'd like to know. Here's the email:

THanx man, I forwarded it to them. I don't even have an account with those dudes.

it happens all the time. When I get a Bank of America, I'll click their scam link and fill out bogus info just to waste their time. Hi, my name is Ben Dover and my address is 1A Eatmapoo St.

Hm - didn't know about those guys.

Internet scammers are like any other conmen - they prey upon either 1) The impulse that makes people want to believe you can get something for nothing (you can't or B) the fact that there are some people who are just too dumb to realise that these institutions and such actually will do things like that without at least some variety of security...

yup. I've gotten crap like that before.
