@Izzie,
I read your links and searched for
scam on this site. Look at that thread
http://able2know.org/topic/142389-1 fewer than 20 posters, 15 of them only joined the site to make a single post on that particular thread. One of these 15 writes he/she paid out to a scammer a sum in British pounds and is in touch with authorities in Canada about getting a refund, how likely is that?

Who is Miss Naomi Mobioh?
I believe she's the niece of a certain Nigerian Prince. I believe she's following the family footsteps and only trying to secure her uncles financial security. Of course, I could be wrong...
The spam you are receiving is a variation of the Nigerian Letter, also called the 419 fraud, Nigerian scam, Nigerian bank scam, or the Nigerian money offer. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page that explains this scam.

Everything is explained here at The 3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference:
