It gets even better:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Counter-terrorism Division and Cyber Crime Division
J. Edgar. Hoover Building Washington DC

Dear Beneficiary,

Series of meetings have been held over the past 7 months with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization. This ended 3 days ago. It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of Eight Million and Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($8,500,000.00) 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 Good luck Jonathan 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? Because we have two method of payment which is by Check or by ATM card?

ATM Card: We will be issuing you a custom pin based ATM card which you will use to withdraw up to $3,000 per day from any ATM machine that has the Master Card Logo on it and the card have to be renewed in 4 years time which is 2017. Also with the ATM card you will be able to transfer your funds to your local bank account. The ATM card comes with a handbook or manual to enlighten you about how to use it. Even 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 DHL. Because we have signed a contract with DHL which should expire in next three weeks you will only need to pay $135 instead of $450 saving you $315 So if you pay before the three weeks you save $315 Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely a fraudsters 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 $135.00 nothing more! Nothing less! And we guarantee the receipt of your fund to be successfully delivered to you within the next 48hrs after the receipt of payment has been confirmed.

Note: Everything has been taken care of by the Federal Government of Nigeria, The United Nation and also the FBI and including taxes, custom paper and clearance duty so all you will ever need to pay is $135.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU READ THIS: The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $420 but because DHL have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping We had to sign contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual fee of $420 to $135 nothing more and no hidden fees of any sort!

To effect the release of your fund valued at $8,500,000.00 you are advised to contact our correspondent in Africa the delivery officer Kelvin Lamar with the information below,

Name: Kelvin Lamar
Email: kelvin.lamar@qq.com

You are advised to contact him with the information's as stated below:

Your full Name..
Your Address:..............
Home/Cell Phone:..............

Re: Post up and share your examples of spam phishing emails messages #scamaware

I may be wildly guessing wrongly here, but this looks suspiciously like a prob-forum-bot..

http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...d-human-s-mind

What they do is program the software to search for forums ( you dont have to be targeted ), see if they can automate the registration, post open or random questions ( the really good ones can read the context of the forum first and try post reletive stuff ).

It then monitors the email, and the more responses it sees ( regardless of content ) and values the site by the time and amount of responses to a automatically posted thread. then reports this back to scam-central, whoevers operating it. Hi tech setups will scan the email to get context and you get more focused spam.

++++++ the post referred to might not be a bot, i just suspect it is+==+=++++=

Also, there is a link out on one reply, when you get your head around how the google spooky stuff works around valuing links, and link in sites, LBs, would value extremely high value on the go-spo linky math. meaning that a link out from LBs, would be worth more to an other site, than maybe links to between 500-1000 other sites, especialy new sites with less than a year worth of traffic....aka scammer specials...

Just explaining the above so people can understand why pointless spamm, ( not selling anything ), is also valuable to a spammer, :badidea:

++++++++++Further update just had a look at the links, the first site, is trying to load a script from a second site it looks like , SPAM_AWeber.spam. surprise surprise, and auto-responding-email provider....

Looks like I've got a long lost sister in OZ! I do have relatives down there but no sister that I know of...

Hello,

It is my pleasure to share this message with you. Do take this mission as a contribution to fate. I know that this mail may be a very big surprise to you.I am Mrs. Ana William, I'm currently in a hospital in Australia where I’m undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I wouldn't live more than 4 months according to my doctors. This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very critical stage.

I need a trust worthy person who can help me accomplish my wish and goal on earth in humanitarian charity service with these funds (5.8MillionEUROS) that was left for me by my late husband in fixed deposit account. The management of the bank just wrote me that the account is DORMANT, and if I, the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account the funds will be CONFISCATED. I don’t have a child for my late husband who will inherit this fund when I die. I need you to collect this fund from the Bank and distribute it yourself to any Charity Orphanages Homes of your choice. So when I die my soul can rest in peace. I pray God gives you the wisdom to touch so many lives that is my main concern. 30% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 70% goes to Charity Orphanages Homes.

Please Contact me if you can be trusted and sincere. Email: ana.william02@gmail.com

Remain Blessed.
Your Sister,
Mrs. Ana William

Re: Post up and share your examples of spam phishing emails messages #scamaware

Just had one, supposedly from Barclay's wanting me to take a survey as I had made " a recent bank visit".
I had but it just did not look right and just deleated it.
It was quite a negative visit as the assistant was very rude so that small account will be going elsewhere!
Not had any of the ones like you posted recently FP !

I've had my email address since Jan 2001, that's plenty of time to make it into the mailing lists that go round and round.
I also have different email addresses that I redirect to my personal email so some of these may have been sent to email addresses I'd previously posted on websites and would have been harvested. The way spam emails are sent, you don't always know what email address they were going to in the first place.

Here's another little gem:

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you and your family, I am the Bill and Exchange Manager here in Bank of Africa, I have a business proposal in the tune of $15.5m,(Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars Only) to be transfer into your Bank account over there in your country, and after the successful transfer, we shall share in ratio of 40% for you and 60% for me,

Please contact me with this email(zirifaoussesni@yahoo.com)and send me your personal informations so we can commence all arrangements and i will give you more information on how we would handle this project.

Kind Regards,
Mr.Zirifa Oussesni,
Bill And Exchange Manager.
