Well, my ship has finally come in!  I got this email this morning letting me know that Fedex in Nigeria is ready to ship my $750,000 ATM card as soon as I provide my address and $240 fee!

I'm rich!  I'm rich!

It's kind of a fun read.  I especially liked the VERY professional Fedex phrases like, "Be careful with their e-mails so that your parcel will not be in danger with their evil planes."

Evil planes, indeed!

Authoritatively, this is the FedEx courier service company mailing you in
respect of your parcel that was brought to this company to be delivered to

misunderstanding between you and the National Insurance Corporation of
Nigeria (NICON) over the Insurance Certificate which caused the delay of you
receiving your parcel for the past one year.

Meanwhile we are happy to inform you that the FedEx has finalized everything
with the (NICON) and subsequently approved yours among the 24 valuable

this company the sum of $240 before the incident occued. Know you that we
have spent some money in the process by recovering back your parcel. We once
again appreciate your patronage. Without hesitation you are to pay for just
the balance left by your sender via western union money transfer so that

Thanks for your Co-operation.

WOW! I wonder if i'm going to recieve one too since i'm so lucky these days!
In 3 weeks i've won the lottery in france, belgium, norway, spain (twice) and italy!
Now thats luck for ya, considering i've never played the lottery 

I wonder how may people actually fall for these scams?

Funny, it started out sounding like an official email. Then they screwed it all up by talking about god and making hay. Dumb. Coulda had a nice sounding scam for a minute, but it's all loused now.

interesting points:

why would FedEx know what is in a package ?

why would FedEx know the value of the card inside a package ?

why would FedEx give a rip about 'hunting you down' to get it to you ?

why would FedEx -ever- require additional payments to receive a package ?

and most importantly ----
why the heck does E have to come before I whenever it follows C ?

Well here's the obvious.How the hell did they get your email without having the package or packing slip.Plus the ones I get never specify a name.How do I know the email is for me?I'm looking at this from an internet nubie's perspective.99% of us delete this crap without a 2nd thought.

 


I dont think anyone is going to get caught by this scame they would most certinally run a mile when there was suggestion of making hay with a man who affectionally sends you letters signed Tony Davies.
