We sincerely apologized for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a certified mail, post-mail, phone or face to face conversation, it's due to the urgency and importance of the security information of our citizenry, i am Special Agent Mark Giuliano from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs). We intercepted two consignment boxes at JFK Airport, New York. The boxes were scanned and they contained large sum of money ($4.1 million) and also some backup documents which bears your name as the Beneficiary/Receiver of the money. Investigation was carried out on the diplomat that accompanied the boxes into the United States and he said that he was to deliver the fund to your residence as overdue payment owed to you by the Federal Republic of Nigeria through the security company in United Kingdom.

After cross-checking all legal documents in the boxes, we found out that your consignment was lacking an important document and we can't release the boxes to the diplomat until the document is found, we have no other option than to confiscate your consignment.

According to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) in Title 26 also contain reporting requirement on a Form 8300, Report of Cash Payment Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business, money laundering activity may violate 18 USC §1956, 18 USC 1957, 18 USC 1960, and provision of Title 31, and 26 USC 6050I of the United States Code (USC), this section will discuss only those money laundering and currency violation under the jurisdiction of IRS, your consignment lacks proof of ownership certificate from the joint team of IRS and IRC, therefore you need to reply back immediately for direction on how to procure this certificate to enable us relieved the charge of evading the law on you, which is a punishable offense in the United States.

You are required to reply back within 72hours or you will be prosecuted in a court of law for money laundering, also you are instructed to desist from further contact with any bank(s) or person(s) in Nigeria or the United Kingdom or any part of the world regarding your payment because your consignment has been confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation here in the United States.

I guess I've already violated the part in blue by posting this. I hope some of you folks will visit me in prison. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The part I can't figure out is, how am I supposed to reply within 72 hours when I'm prohibited from contacting any person in any part of the world? :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Oh man, you are in deep doo doo now! Perhaps if you offer them a large sum of money they will forgive you!:wink2:

Reply to the email and they will provide instructions on how to send them money to release your boxes of Nigerian cash. Further contact will request additional funds to overcome problems with the release.

But since they are impersonating Federal law enforcement, you can always forward to the real FBI. They take a dim view of such goings on.
 
Send a cashiers check,for a large amount of money. All will be forgiven.
 
You would not believe how many people fall for this and actually do it.

Somehow I doubt that the FBI is going to send someone to Nigeria to make the arrest!

If you check out the various "fight back" sites such as 419eater that was already posted, you will find most of these scammers have associates in the west for collecting money etc

I've received emails/phone calls like that in the past...what I generally do is tell them that I'd be more than happy to pay whatever I owe them. It also just so happens that I have a cashiers check that my uncle's, room-mate's, sister's, cousin-in-law twice removed gave me. Unfortunately its for a about $6000 more than what I happen to owe them. So if they'd be kind enough to wire me the difference, I'd be more than happy to send them the cashiers check...

you know, 60% of the time, it works EVERY time!
 
I love that site.
 
My favorite is the one that is supposedly from a friend, using a real friend's name, who is stuck in Europe after having their baggage, wallet and passport stolen. I have to admit it looked pretty good the first time I came across it, even though I was 99% sure it was a scam.

I could easily have called my friend (so he could call me an idiot for crediting it even slightly, :)). Instead, as an experiment, decided to reply, asking the writer to tell me the answer to a question only he and I and a very small group of friend from college would know he answer to.

The reply came with a heartfelt "Oh thank you! Here's what I need you to do." Of course, the question wasn't answered.
