Newest and nastiest junk email I've seen in a while.

Attention:Honorable Beneficiary,


This is to inform you that it has come to the notice of the federal bureau of investigation (FBI) that the sum of $10.5 million united states dollars were transferred from the central bank of Nigeria to the bank of America here in the united states, bearing your name as the beneficiary.

We did not believe this at first until we saw the transfer, then we had no other option than to place the funds on hold until you are able to prove to us that you are not a terrorist or a money launderer, by obtaining what is called a diplomatic immunity seal of transfer certificate from the funds originated country.

Note that we have done a proper investigation on this transaction and from our investigation, this funds truly belongs to you and it is not a scam, but we have instructed the bank of America not to release the $10.5 million to you until you prove the legitimacy of the funds you are about to receive.

As a matter of fact, you will be charged for money laundering and terrorism, if you fail to prove to us that you are not a terrorist or a money launderer by obtaining the above mentioned certificate from the funds originated country,and if you are found guilty as charged, you will go to jail.

You have just only 72 hours to prove to us you are not a terrorist, failure to comply with our instruction, you will be arrested and detained until this matter is settled. Meanwhile we have your full contact address which makes it easier for us to arrest you when ever we want to.

We are going to direct you on how to obtain the required document from the funds originated country in our next email to you, and your $10.5 million will be released to you as soon as the required document is obtained.

Therefore you have been advised to get back to us immediately you receive this email or you will be arrested by the FBI, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

For more information's and quick response, reply back to us through this email address: (washingtond.c2008@washington.usa.com)

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

Mr. Robert S. Mueller, III
Director Federal Bureau of Investigation

"Meanwhile we have your full contact address which makes it easier for us to arrest you when ever we want to."

SAY WHAT???

"YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED"

COME AGAIN??

Spammers are Fruitcakes. They're alllllllllllll a bunch of fruitcakes.

Anyone else have any good spam lately? I must say this one was the best I've had in a while! LOL

 

[3TinksAndAnEeyore]

Oh, that is too funny! I especially enjoy that Director Mueller took the time personally to send the, er, "warning". A few of the other gems that stood out to me:

"central bank of Nigeria" and "bank of America" -- nice capitalization

"this funds truly belong to you"

"You have just only..."

"Meanwhile we have your full contact address which makes it easier for us to arrest you when ever we want to." Nice grammar!

Thanks for posting. It's always good for a chuckle to see what spammers will think of next.

 

[NMAmy]

It's extremely polite of the FBI to warn people that they'll be arrested for terrorism.

I love how the Moneygram "General Director" has a hotmail address!

The first on is great-- I would love to see someone follow through on that, like I have seen posted on sites before. I want to know how much a "diplomatic immunity seal of transfer certificate" costs!

 

[minniecarousel]

I've been getting a TON of Spam lately. Stupid stuff, like a beautiful Russian bride could be mine, hip replacement lawsuits, auto warranties, appts for rent in my area - nothing that has anything to do with me! (OK, I own a car, but otherwise - nothing to do with me. Why would a better-than-middle-aged woman want a Russian bride?!) I NEVER open any of these, but they keep coming - some in triplicate. It's irritating.

 

[SandrA9810]

I used yahoo email, and anytime I get that stuff in my email, I mark it as spam. Their system is good at taking those emails sent later on and tossing them in the spam box. There's even some emails that I requested to get a long time ago, that I have no interest now. So after a few markings of "spam", they no longer go into my inbox and directly to the spam folder.

 

[Geoff_M]

Funny... You'd think if the FBI was planning to arrest you, they'd at least know your name!!!

 

[Nancy]

Funny... You'd think if the FBI was planning to arrest you, they'd at least know your name!!!

They don't need the name, they have the full contact address.

 

[bumbershoot]

In the one with hoodlums/scammers, anyone notice the problem in her email address (beyond the fact that it's a yahoo address)?

name is FARIDA WAZIRI

email address is mrsfaziriwaziri@yahoo.com


Hmm, farida, or faziri?
