In the process of cleaning my spam messages, I came across this one 3 time! For some strange reason I do not think that the FBI sends email from France! (Mailhops in thunderbird, gotta love it!)

Attention, this is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me?

I hope youre understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you

fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account

until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that

they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn

people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where

instructed in the e-mail below.this is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to

inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your

properties confiscated.

You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our director has already been notified about you get the

process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as strictly signed by the

fbi director. We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if

you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in

all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi. As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00 usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been

signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded

your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the

sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 6/27/2012 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail

without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law

and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00

usd which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.

BTW, Nigeria is a great place for a vacation no? :wacko:

[Detection]

I was watching something about these Nigerian scam emails and why they bother sending them when they sound so fake in the first place

Apparently they are not targeting people they have to work hard to fool, like 99.9% of us here, they purposely send ridiculously fake sounding emails so that the people who do reply / fall for it are already hook line and sinker'd and they know they can get them to send them anything

They don't want to target us normal people, so in a way, these pathetic sounding fake emails, have actually pretty clever people behind them

[Colin McGregor]

You had to check the email address to know if it was legit?

[Arachno 1D]

The sender is probably [email protected] :woot: :D

[mps69]

Purely for S&G, we should all formulate a great response to these guy, wind the total cr@p out them.

See how far they take it.

Dear Vince

Thanks for the oppertunity you have granted me to recieve the outstanding funds.Unfortunatly due to an impeeding currency counterfiting case for which I am totally innocent, I am unable to access my bank funds without external assistance.Perhaps you could have a quiet word with the UK MI5 and anti crimes departments on my behalf opening my accounts so that I can forward these funds directly to you?

I do however have some German Marks and Chinese Yen to hand I could send you but I would require you to forward the postage due to my pre-mentioned problem in regard to lack of funds for postage as the DSS has still to allow me support.
