*sarc* What a great start to my day. Woke up this morning and had a couple emails telling me I had inherited $30.5M dollars. Here's one of the emails notifying me of my $15.5M fortune. It got even better as I got another email just after this one telling me I had inherited another $15M. Talk about the luck of the Irish. I'm so stoked that I've been checking my bank acct waiting for the cash to be deposited. Woohoo.....

Attention sir,
This is to inform you that i was sent on a special assignment by the United Nations secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, after series of complaint from the FBI and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, South America ,Australia and the United States of America respectively, against the African countries, the government of Nigeria and the British Government for the high volume of scam activities going on in these two nations.
Right now, as directed by the secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-Moon. We are working in collaborations with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and have decided to waive away all your clearance fees/Charges and authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect your overdue payment worth USD $15.5 Million only into your account without any delay as approved and instructed by UNITED NATIONS.
Sincerely, you are a lucky person because I have just discovered that some top Nigerian and British Government Officials are interested in your fund and they are working in collaboration with One Mrs. Maija Bukal from Zagreb Croatia to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into her personal bank account in Croatia.
I have a very short time to stay here in Africa, so I would like you to urgently respond to this message so that I will advise you on what to do so that you will receive your long awaiting payment.
I wait to hear from you..
Yours Sincerely,
Prof. John Williams United Nations Under-Secretary- General for Human rights. EMAIL: enquiry0909@yahoo.co.jp
Wait guys! This one may be real. I mean, it does say it comes from the United Nations, so......
The best one I ever got was about a Nigerian astronaut who had been left in space for lack of funds. They were soliciting funds to send up a rocket to bring him down.
It was funnier than the typical Nigerian scam, which promises millions for a small facilitation fee.
My first thought—to bring in lowbridge.
No one can scam a Nigerian like he can!!
One should always carry a bag of pork crackelins (fried pork fat) in case one gets stranded with mooselimbs. Not only are they delicious, but may assist in the early departure of the said mooslimbs.
Scammers used to ask for a check but now they ask for a checking account number into which they can deposit funds. Give it to them and watch your funds disappear. We may joke about this but many people become victims, especially in this electronic age. Remember to guard your personal information, especially if the person asking should already have it. That said, I am appalled by the amount of personal information that can be found online, the ease with which hackers invade corporate files, and question if anything is really safe.
Sounds like a plan (as long as it’s not my 10 bucks), where do we apply?
