New Nigerian scam

[Josh66]

LOL, check this out - it was in my mail today.

The FBI was kind enough to write me and explain that my transaction with the Central Bank of Nigeria didn't go through because it was a scam. Don't worry though - I can still get my money (all 1.5 million USD of it), all I have to do is pay a small $260 fee.

I really wish someone would teach them English!
then a basic IQ buildup from there.
I mean come on first paragraph it says that you are taking part in illegal activities - second paragraph says the reason they are not working is because you have not help up your end of the bargain and the FBI want to help you do this...................

I wonder - that all these scams are aimed at the US and no other nation - is this an IQ indicator for the US?

 

[Josh66]

They take this pretty seriously too. This e-mail was from none other than the Director of the FBI, I must be really important to get that kind of special attention.

Maybe they're just trying to save a little cash, they gotta be running low with all the money they keep sending our way.

Send this one back:

From: Minister of the Treasury Paulson

Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship
with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country
has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of
800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it
would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my
replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you
may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation
movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need
the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these
funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly
under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for
a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the
funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund
account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to
[email protected] so that we may transfer your commission
for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will
respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used
to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully
Minister of Treasury Paulson
