Newest addition to the Nigerian email scam?

I have received in the past...as many here probably have as well...a few of these Nigerian fake bank account scams. I have never responded to any of them, have always marked them as spam and block the contact.

This is a copy of the complete email I received today:

I still can't believe that people fall for these scams. Even with this new twist involved. Right, so they are going to pay hundreds of people $150K each to send them these fraud/scam emails? If you're going to try and scam people, at least know enough to not have a multitude of different typos.

i don't understand why they don't get someone who speaks proper english to write their e-mail either.

if i could be bothered i would compose an e-mail offering my services to them for a mere £150,000

i really don't have the inclination though.

if you could just give me your bank account details and sort code we can wire you the monies immediately

Looks pretty legit to me! I say go for it!!!!

I get those all the time. At least one per week. They always need to have YOU send some money to "release" the funds. Or, get all your personal information so they can steal your identity.

They call those 419 scams.

Did you know that the FBI is in cahoots with the Nigerians?







You got any pretzels?

Delivered today, from an imitation FBI agent!

I like that this one is signed by "The FBI Director"

Me too.

Except mine usually want a signed "release" for the photographs.

Do not be advice not to send the money just go right now and send the money and get back to me with the payment details

I'm so confused.

I'm not supposed to be advice...?? what the hell!?

Why can't those stupid FBI guys learn how to write so I know what to do?

Haven't you ever heard that song? "Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Advice Not To Send The Money Just Go Right Now And Send The Money And Get Back To Me With The Payment Details" from the Nigerian country band "African Cowboy?"

Man...it's a classic!

I know. I'm still utterly amazed that these things must work.

This stuff is unstoppable!!!
