An easy way to detect these scams is to look up the domain registration at whois.com. This guy created his domain on September 27, 2006 yet his website claims a copyright of 2004. An odd inconsistency indeed. If Richard Palmer of Emeryville, California registered the domain then why am I getting an email from Val in the United Kingdom?
Here's the email:
