My wife got this today, early. I usually see them before she does.

Subject: RE: Inquiry
In accordance to my religious persuasion, I felt expedient to write
and inform you on the wicked conspiracy hatched by the duo of (Mr.
Alex Kelly and Mr. Hassan) of the Ministry of Finance to divert your
money to their designated account in Cayman Island.
From my position as a lowly clerk in this office, I discovered that
they moved the fund from United States to China, and then moved it
last week to Banco Italiano in ITALY. Today I found out through the
Central computer database that they are about to reroute your fund to
a security company in United Arab Emirates where they will be able to
maneuver the strict IMF money laundering regulatory orders. With this,
I felt that it is important for me to alert you on this development.
They are still using your name and contract/inheritance identification
number as the beneficiary but they have changed the account
co-ordinate and this is the reason they are frustrating you by asking
for endless fees in order to buy time pending on when they will
transfer your funds to their designated account.
I have the reference number of the transaction and also I have the
number of the official who is directly in charge at the SECURITY
COMPANY. Your payment is supposed to go through the Euro-Asia Credit
Control Financial Clearing Department before final Lodgement into the
security company. All the data/information about your funds file are
within my reach. I do not need gratification from you either in cash
or kind. I can never be a part of evil because the bible said YE SHALL
KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
Please respect my discretion in this matter! I will send you the
reference number, the name and contact information of the officials of
the security company were your money is in U A E when I receive your
response. I repeat, please do not expose my person, it is not easy to
get employment around here and I cannot contend with these powerful
individuals because they can eliminate me.
Copy all response to (mrskateadile54-at-gmail.com) as I access this
e-mail more often.
God bless you
Mrs. katherine Adile.

Re: Hilarious Scam
The ones you need to watch out for are ostensibly from Microsoft or Paypal. Be especially careful when contacting the DMV or similar state agencies - make sure it is dmv.gov, and not dmv.com. The Nigerian scams do all but state "this is a scam" when they appear in your inbox.

Agreed and I would add your (insert-your cable provider) ("Soc Sec" or similar Gov Agency) (Amazon) (your car dealer) (your Insurers) ad infinitum.
The rule is to right click the sender, check the http string, if doesn't end in a recognizable domain that's not a .com or a more typically has a commercial email provider like .gmail (thanks Google!) it's likely a predator.

I'm sure the caveats exceed this thumbnail but If you don't get it you're at risk.
Oh and these days Bob, scam-wise on my ISP? Nigeria is now way behind the former USSR, India, Eastern Europe and my own local Atlanta metropolitan area in terms of sources for this kind of fraud.

Shouldn't that be: We can get you taken right away.....

I know someone that periodically calls them back and strings them along as far as he can just to drop on them his delight that they can extend the warranty on his '74 Plymouth.....
I'd have to wonder that if a lot of guys did that to them and tied up their phone lines that you might end up getting black-listed off their systems.

Re: Hilarious Scam
I have done that, several (many) times!
They want the VIN...start out with BORH.....and they want to know what kind of VIN that is. I tell them I am more than willing to pay to extend my coverage on my 1950 Ford Tudor......and they hang up.
Or, the India Scam from Microsoft. Got to know the numbers they used...so answered "Microsoft XP Support Desk, how may I help you?" and it went straight downhill from there.
