I think you had it figured out in the headline.

Hello Friend!

My father has just died this morning! However he was the recipient of a $650,000 usd grant here in Nigeria, but was not able to collect it.

With your connections, I believe that you could collect this grant. And, you would keep 1/3rd of the proceeds.

If you are interested, please provide your proof of US citizenship, your social security number, and the bank routing of your choice.

My father would have been so proud to work with you!

Your friend,

Joseph Obama

I get these two or three times a week, at least. They all sound the same — maybe a few details changed here and there. Is the United Nations involved? I doubt it. Some of these con artists will use legitimate business and charities to snooker you. Some even have phony websites for the United Nations and other real organizations. For this reason, you should never click on any links they provide. If you want to check out the solicitation, use the real website and/or contact the charity or entity directly.

Yeah, I agree; I figure the United Nations would have their own e-mail client, and not have to use Gmail or anything else like it.

:You are kindly obliged to contact our corresponding UN Payment office (United Nations Trust Funds ) in Nigeria,Africa.”

Since most of these scams originate in Nigeria, the request to forward “informations” to Nigeria really makes this look like a scam to me.

Maybe they will nab some loyal, patriotic and vapid “citizens of the world.”
