Had me rolling....Do they ever give up?

Normally I just hit the delete, but this one go by the spam filter and It had me laughing so hard. Do people still fall for this crap?
Dear Beneficiary,

It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of $6.8million due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for their selfish reason and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your fund.

The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current president of Nigeria his Excellency President Umaru Yar'Adua to boost the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes.

Now how would you like to receive your payment? By Check or by ATM card?

ATM Card: We will be issuing you a custom pin based ATM card with your name written on it which you will use to withdraw up to $10,000 per day from any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it. Also with the ATM card you will be able to transfer your funds to your bank account. The ATM card comes with a handbook or manual to enlighten you about how to use it. Good if you do not have a bank account

Check: To be deposited in your bank for it to be cleared within three working days.

Your payment would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be mailed to you via UPS.

Because we have signed a contract with UPS which should expire by the end of March 2009 you will only need to pay $152.97 instead of $188 saving you $35.03! So if you pay before April 3oth you save $35.03

Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely a fraudster and you will have to stop communication with every other person if you have been in contact with any. Also remember that all you will ever have to spend is $152.97 nothing more! Nothing less! And we guarantee the receipt of your fund within the next 3 working days after the receipt of payment.

Below are few list of tracking numbers you can track from UPS website to confirm people like you who have received their payment successfully.

Name : Donna L. Vargas: UPS Tracking Number: 1Z757F991598420403 (www.ups.com)
Name : Rovenda Elaine Clayton: UPS Tracking Number: 1Z757F991596606592 (www.ups.com)

Note: Everything has been taken care of by the Federal Government including taxes, custom paper and clearance duty so all you will ever need to pay is $152.97 This is because UPS C.O.D (Cost on Delivery) service is not applicable to international shipping according to their terms.

To effect the release of your fund valued at $6.8million you are advised to contact the delivery officer Dennis Lewis Jr with the information below, email lewisdennisjr@gmail.com Telephone: +234-706-946-1441 and 011-234-706-946-1441

On contacting him do provide him your:

Full Name: ____________________
Address: ____________________
Home/Cell Phone: ____________________
Preferred Payment Method (Check or ATM): ____________________

Upon receipt of payment the delivery officer will ensure that your package is sent within 24 working hours. Because we are so sure of everything we are giving you a 100% money back guarantee if you do not receive payment/package within the next three days after you have made the payment for shipping.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Matt Lawson
CC: Federal Bureau of Investigation
CC: National Central Bureau of Interpol

I LOVE the part about if anybody asks for money above and beyond the "normal" fee they must be a trickster! :shock: Holy Crap! One born every minute, I guess.

They finally figured out how to use spell check, huh?

The beauty of these scams is that only dishonest people will fall for them. You know god-damn well you are not entitled to $6.8 mil. The only ones burned are those who choose to ignore that fact.

There's a website dedicated to making scammers lives miserable, I lost the link to it :roll: but it's very funny, making the Nigerians pose in all manner of humiliating pictures to prove their legitimacy...then posting the results. Anyone else seen this?
