Below is the pasted text from the scam email I received this morning. I've already forwarded it to Exede, just putting it here so others don't get taken by this scam operation.

He's been removed! Hopefully nobody was gullible to fall for it
BUT.... what about my 8 million dollars? I have already order stuff....
If you hover over any of the links in the email, and look at the url in the lower left corner of the screen, you will see that they are not the url's for Wildblue websites. Definitely an indication of a scam to get your personal information.
A good tip on verifying links to avoid falling victim to "phishing"...
If using an email client application, most offer a similar feature when hovering over the link (e.g. the Outlook client application displays a popup when hovering over a link).
Needless to say, don't click on any of the links in the original post either ;)
