I get at least one of those a month.
I assumed that the Feds would be interested, so I made the mistake the first time of going to their scam/frauds line.
Big mistake.
I assumed they would use the address or email in the letter and nail the clowns, but the number of questions they force you to answer makes it attractive only to the most lonely people without a life.
I just blow them away now.

Nigeria holds the following world record; It has at least one of its citizens jailed in every country in the world. Respond with discretion.

Hey! Go for it! I made millions on an email I got just like this one! Just open a new bank account that's all and they wire the money into it and you manage it. No big deal.
To: Eagle Eye
i think they try to get you to call a number- amd when you do it charges your phone bill like $300 a minute

,,, that makes them a minority group until the boat comes in for the one we're holding. With his luck, he'll be at the airport when that happens. He's shining my shoes as I type this - how's that for a response?

LOL! Thats the best one yet!

My client needs an honest and prudent manager In the brokerage industry, there is a rule known as "Know Your Customer", whereby any registered representative MUST ask some pretty basic, but IMPORTANT questions, involving suitability and amount of money invested. A Nigerian with US$8 million will send up a huge MONEY LAUNDERING red flag. Compliance officers would be all over this person in a heartbeat. I seriously doubt that the account would be opened.
Many firms also have lists of countries with which representatives are prohibited from conducting business. I do not know if Nigeria is currently on the s*#t list of any firms.

Give them James Carville's bank account number.

,,, what about Billy-Jeff's account number? He's big on helping the world's people.

I suspect that any more than a few dollars passing through my account will trigger the profiling software, let alone millions.
Maybe I should just get them to send cash?
To: Dialup Llama
I dunno exactly how it happens ultimately, but that's how it begins... with your account #s. They may then get your signature on something and use it, or who knows. But this is a sure scam.
Why the heck would a millionaire choose a regular guy to invest his money? Tax avoidance? C'mon.
To: JimSEA
Sure. Just a sec and I'll post my bank account number...Doh! That was close!
To: Principled
Why the heck would a millionaire choose a regular guy to invest his money? I haven't been very regular recently, but how the heck would this guy know about that?
To: Eagle Eye
,,, transactions over $10k go under the microscope.
