Not seen this one before - I get a loaded ATM card

This is a new one - instead of giving me access directly to cash, they want to send me an ATM card which I can then use to withdraw money. I have had two of these in the last few days. It would take around three and a half years to draw out all the cash, assuming you went to the ATM every day. I am guessing they believe people will give more credence to someone styling themselves "Rev". Usual tortured English, e.g. "MASTERED CARD"

Note usual generic email addresses (live.com, the rediff redistributor, even with a rediff add tacked on the end) and completely fake to address (there is no .og domain). Strange how the subject has been encoded, it displays as "COMPENSATION FOR YOUR PAST EFFORTS". Here are the relevant headers:
