Their site works. Obamacare’s site doesn’t. Go with success.

The Nigerians are a lot more imaginative than the Kenyans.

Due to international agreements, Nigerian FBI (same name, as the official language of Nigeria is Ebonics) has extended its jurisdiction over the 57 states of the United States of America.

I got that same email except they’re not charging you as much as they charged me. Big deal. I should be getting my ATM card any day and then I’ll be rich!

It will only cost you $250 to find out you’re a fool!


That’s what I was thinking. That’s pretty cheap. Then again, if you DO get the money to them, they know they have a sucker and there will be other irregularities that pop up, forcing other payments. And they’ll bleed you until you quit spending good money to save bad for whatever reason.

Looks legit to me!

Even the lack of proper English proves it's the FBI.

“It's not legit; it doesn't have the proper “bureaucratese” ring to it... and also the missing particles and unnatural placement of turns of phrase.”

I hope all of you that replied as to this sounding legit were being sarcastic. If the FBI was that interested in a person they sure wouldn't use e-mail as a contact method. It would be a knock at the door with 2 suits on the other side.

AND, the FBI sends letters not email or they knock on your door. They know that many Americans don’t own computers.

If i haqve time and I am in the mood I usually respond to these scammers about how interested I am and try to get them all excited

And waste as much of their time as possible

Google “Ebola Monkey Man” and Nigerian scammers to read hilarious accounts of others who scammed the scammers
