I have received some good ones, but I received the following email, tonight. It is very well done...as far as scams go. It seems like it is part of a series. I cannot wait for part 2!!!


FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI.WASHINGTON DC.
WASHINGTON D.C ROOM,7367
J. EDGAR HOOVER FBI BUILDING
935 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE,
NW WASHINGTON, DC 20535,

RE: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SEEKING TO WIRETAP THE INTERNET

We believe this notification meets you in a very good present state of mind and
health. We the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington,DC in
conjunction with some other relevant Investigation Agencies here in the United
states of America have recently been informed through our Global intelligence
monitoring network that you presently have a transaction going on with the U.S.
Department of Treasury as regards to your over-due inheritance payment which was
fully endorsed in your favor accordingly.


It might interest you to know that we have taken out time in screening through
this project as stipulated on our protocol of operation and have finally
confirmed that your inheritance payment is 100% genuine and hitch free from all
facet and of which you have the lawful right to claim your funds without any
further delay. Having said all this, we will further advise that you go ahead in
dealing with the U.S. Department of Treasury office accordingly as we will be
monitoring all their activities with you as well as your correspondence at all
level.

In addendum, also be informed that we recently had a meeting with the Executive
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Treasury, in the person of Jacob Lew with
some of the top officials of the Ministry regarding your case and they made us
to understand that your file has been held in a base depending on when you
personally come for the claim. They also told us that the only problem they are
facing right now is that some unscrupulous element are using this project as an
avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the
Executive Secretary and the U.S. Department of Treasury office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C. Bailey from
OHIO has already contacted them and also presented to them all the necessary
documentations evidencing your claim purported to have been signed personally by
you prior to the release of your inheritance fund valued at US$10,700,000.00
(Ten Million Seven Hundred United States Dollars), but the U.S. Department of
Treasury office did the wise thing by insisting on hearing from you personally
before they go ahead on wiring your funds to the Bank information’s which was
forwarded to them by the above named Lady, so that was the main reason why they
contacted us so as to assist them in making the investigations.

To be very careful prior to these irregularities so that you don't fall victim
to this ugly circumstance. And should in case you are already dealing with
anybody or office claiming to be from the U.S. Department of Treasury, you are
advised to STOP further contact with them in your best interest and then contact
immediately the real office of the U.S. Department of Treasury only with the
below information’s accordingly:

NAME: Mr. Jacob Lew
OFFICE ADDRESS: U.S. Department of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20220.

Email: departoftreasurygv@accountant.com

NOTE:
In your best interest, any message that doesn't come from the above official
email address should not be replied to and should be disregarded accordingly for
security reasons. Meanwhile, we will advise that you contact the U.S. Department
of the Treasury office immediately with the above email address and request that
they attend to your payment file as directed so as to enable you receive your
inheritance funds accordingly.

Ensure you follow all their procedure as may be required by them as that will
further help hasten up the whole procedures as regards to the transfer of your
funds to you as designated. Also have in mind that the U.S. Department of the
Treasury equally have their own protocol of operation as stipulated on their
banking terms. Once again, we will advise that you contact them with the above
email address and make sure you forward to them all the necessary information
which they may require from you prior to the release of your fund to you
accordingly. Should in case you need
any more information in regards to this notification, feel free to get back to
us so that we can brief you more as we are here to guide you
during and after this project has been completely perfected and you have
received your inheritance funds as stated.

Thank you very much for your anticipated co-operation in advance as we earnestly
await your urgent response to this matter.

Best Regards,

JAMES B. COMEY
WASHINGTON D.C ROOM,7367

I know, right?


I love how a few posters are pointing out grammar problems and determining whether or not it was written by an English speaking individual or a foreigner. Did they skip over the "scam" part of the thread? Capt. Obvious to the rescue!

It is the best scam I have ever received. Most are very bad...and should never fool anybody. I can see an old and confused woman/man responding to this.

I see the scam, I'm just saying the grammar doesn't help.

Why would someone respond to that?

That was a scam, but I really did have a woman die and leave me 10.5 million dollars. All I had to do was send my bank account info to the Congo for some odd reason. I'm gonna be rich!!
