Can these scammers be more obvious

[maggiesmom_2007]

I was sent the following email. I find it funny that the FBI would send emails to any one person. Also that they would require me to send money to someone in Nigeria. But what I find hilarious is that Knowing that the FBI has the means to find out every detail about someones life that they couldn't check out my bank acct and see I don't have even a fraction of what this person claims I have. Oh and this is the email it was sent from

offixbi82nbh3@mail.com

That is so hilarious!!! But on a sad note there are probably some who would fall for it. I work in a bank and see scams all the time and you would not believe the people who come in and want us to wire money for them to these types of scammers. One of the most used one is that you have inherited money from a long lost relative.

[BonBon]

Well, I think they're being very generous....they know you have $10,500,000.00 in the bank and they're only asking you for $399. Sadly though, some one will probably send it to them.

That's one of the funniest emails I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing the laugh!

[Lil Sis]

oh my.. I think it would be interesting to collect all the versions of scam emails!! I guess they work just enough to make it worth their time.

[maggiesmom_2007]

It is, I get them all the time and they are very imaginative with their scams. Every year it's the same.about 20% of the emails I receive are scams like this or similar. I even had a guy go so far as to send me a $960.00 blank postal money order and instructions on where to send the remaining amount less $250 for my trouble. I had my Husband take it to the post office and file a report.

[maggiesmom_2007]

If I had that amount I would pay off my car, get my husband a new car , pay off our house and get a few more Yorkies. LOL

[gidget529]

I know you shouldn't reply to such scams BUT... wouldn't it be funny to contact them and tell them you know they are not the FBI and it is a serious crime in this country to misrepresent yourself as the FBI. Being the christian woman that you are, you will not report them to the US FBI for a fee of $? wired to ?. I know, can't do it, but it is a funny thought!

[Princess10]

lmbo! I've been getting a lot but I'm too paranoid to open them. I have millions in inheritances waiting, urgent things, medical emergencies, and I'm a huge fan of the ones that aren't even written in proper English yet come from an official office.

Not to hijack, but there's a scam on FB that pops up all the time with lil yorkie pics. I think it's called GreatAmericanPhotoContest.com or something, I've blocked it, but they ask you to submit pic for cutest pet, then they say you won best pet or whatever, it's going to be in a book for $80. You never get the book, there isn't one. Thankfully I didn't fall for it as someone saved me, I was about to be a sucker.

[BabyGirl Rosie]

I only wish I had so much free time on my hands to come up with something so stupid! These scammers really make me mad! I don't understand. I hope you reported it! (Not that it helps!)

[Nancy1999]

I was wondering when they would finnally catch you! Seriously, that's so funny, I love the part about, "A suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization." Guess they're not familiar with out governement, oh yes and , "We would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the FBI." Guess they really believe a mayor has powers here.

Remember how Megansmommy played with the puppy scammer, maybe she'd like to play with this guy? I think you can report this to Internet Fraud, they might be interested since the name of the FBI is being used. Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

I know me to. LOL. They'd be better off contacting the chief of Police. I like how it says all my properties. Do they know something I don't? LOL
I think I may send him a reply myself. This ought to be fun.

Why don't you act guilty and be very apologetic and ask where you should send the money. Next, you can ask them if they got it.

[maggiesmom_2007]

Well I sent an email back to this wonderful person. My responses are in red.
Lets see if I get a reply. LOL

I don't understand, this is the first email I have received from you

I promise I haven't ignored any emails . I can get arrested, those people in the prison would make me do horrible things. Please don't send a letter to the Mayor he is a mean mean man and he would have me put in cement shoes and thrown in the river. I don't have a bank account because my cheating husband took all my money and left me for that slut that he said was his secretary.I haven't had a job since Thanksgiving last year, I got fired for sleeping on the job. I never got any certificate or instructions, I bet that no good cheating husband has it.





And am using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to these directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your properties confiscated.

So he stole a certificate and a document. Maybe if you could send me a copy of the certificate and document I could get it signed and all that. I don't want to go to prison for that jerk, Being married to him and raising his kids from his previous wife was Prison enough. Did you know he used to lock me in a closet while he was at work after I lost my job. I guess going to prison won't be much different. At least I will get fed regularly and exercise. Heck I may even can get a degree for something in there. I only wish I had $399. to give you. I barely have 2 nickels to rub together. Oh and I have no properties either unless you count the shopping cart and the cardboard box I sleep in.



You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria last year when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 USD.

You would make the payment through money gram transfer or western union money transfer with the below details.

Maybe the emails went into the spam folder. Yum sure wish I had some spam. Did you know I haven't eaten in days. I did find a few shrimps and some fries in the trash at the Coney island last Tuesday.

Your s**tting me right. $10,500,000.00 I could buy a new house and food and get a car and my very own computer. Right now I use the one at the public library. Maybe I can go to the welfare office and try to get assistance so I can get the money for you. It will take a little time though. So could you maybe find a way to extend the deadline. Wow I could be on TV on that show Americas Most Wanted. Hmm I wonder if someone would want to make a movie of this.
