Well, here is one I haven't seen before . . .

Does anyone actually fall for this kind of scam? Now, instead of dealing with Nigerian scammers themselves, lets deal with the FBI who are gallantly investigating the evil scammers on our behalf . . . rolleyes

I got something similar today but i have deleted it so i can not post it.

I have a hotmail account for shall we say sites i am curious about but do not want to get a flood of e-mails from and that account gets 3 or 4 per week, fortunately my proper e-mail account is well protected and i get only the occasional junk mail but the filters normally find them.

 

Received 2 so far

First one March 23, 2009:

And second, Oct 15, 2009:

E-mail addresses from/reply-to range from gmail accounts to live.com accounts.

 

Send an email back saying :

Dear Mr. Kelvin Williams of the ATM CARD CENTER

Get :*** !!!!!!!!!!!!!

roflmaoroflmao

 

Got you all beat. I received an email two weeks ago from the Obama Foundation!
They said I had something like 3 million dollars coming!
I know however that money just destroys lives so I deleted it.
If I get another I'll post it here and auction it off and give the money to the charity of your choice.:-D:-D

 

My favourite thing about them is the random capitalization of words. And the fact that IF the FBI was contacting you, men with dark suits and earpieces would most likely appear on your porch. :-D

 

Well, at least their English writing has gotten better! :-D

 

I wish I knew... they're hitting my phone now

 

First time I have seen those! Yeah, they are getting more clever, for sure.
Maybe they got tired of waiting for a response for the Nigerian $$$ roflmao

 

I use to get one at least 3-4 times a month. Got tired of it and informed the bank that they told me to go to and emailed a copy to the government. Have not seen another one for almost a year now. I have several email addresses and they only seem to appear on Hotmail/Live(MSN)

 

But I don't give them my phone number... :confused

 

That's called a cold hit. I get those in my Live acct., exact e-mail addy and I haven't used this addy for any sign ups as I already have one for that. Either that or one of my friends got compromised, it happens.

 

I'm not at liberty to say . . . those federal types have NO sense of humor . . . rolleyes

 

I love that, the FBI sending you an email... Come on, they are not stupid people. :-D And I have a friend in the FBI, and they actually do have a sense of humor, but they hide it well. :-D
