Attention:
The Federal Government of Nigeria through provisions in Section 419 of the
Criminal Code came up with punitive measures to deter and punish
offenders.The Advance Fee Fraud section deal mainly with cases of advance
fee fraud(commonly called 419) such as obtaining by false pretence through
different fraudulent schemes e.g. contract scam, credit card/ATM card
scam, inheritance scam, western union transfer scam, EFCC compensation
scam, FBI investigation scam, compensation scam, job scam, loan scam,
lottery scam, “wash wash” scam (money washing scam), marriage scam.
Immigration scam, counterfeiting and religious scam. It also investigates
cyber crime cases.
This is to officially announce to you that some scam syndicates were
apprehended in Lagos, Nigeria few days ago at western union agent location
when they were about to pick up some money sent to them by their scam
victims and they were handed over to the police, after several
interrogations and tortures your name and contact details were among those
mentioned by the scam syndicates as a victim of their operations.
In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and as a consequence of
our investigations it was agreed that the sum of ten thousand US Dollars
(US$10,000) each should be transferred to all the scam victims that their
name and contact details were among those mentioned by the scam syndicates
out of the funds that Federal Government of Nigeria has set aside as a
compensation to everyone who have sent money to fraudsters in Nigeria.
Right now we are working hand in hand with Western Union and Interpol to
track every fraudsters down. The purpose for this is to regain the lost
glory of our great country Nigeria and to also show the entire world that
this government is highly ready to fight corruption, in 2007 we were rated
as one of the most corrupt countries in the world and it is never a good
title. Do not respond to their e-mails, letters and phone calls any longer
they are scammers and you should be very careful to avoid being a victim
to fraudsters any longer because they have nothing to offer you but to
rip-off what you have worked hard to earn.

expense, whatsoever, suffered or incurred by You in connection with the
fraudsters. Be warned!

Please note that some fraudsters are claiming to be the Executive
Chairman, Chief Mrs. Farida Mzamber Waziri (AIG rtd.) or staff of The
Ecomomic and Financial Crimes Commission have recently been sending phony
e-mails/letters and also calling unsuspecting persons, with intent to
defraud them. It is important to note that these fraudsters are criminals
engaged in Advanced Fee Fraud known in Nigeria as 419. Every day, people
throughout the world are falling victim to scams of one kind or another.
But remember - if it sounds too good to be true, it is probably a scam. In
the circumstance, we unreservedly advice you to dissociate yourselve from
all correspondence and transactions entered into based on evidently
fraudulent and fictitious claims.

"Dear Maureen Phillips (Miss)"
Definitely sound advice you give, except in your case, it should read, "If it sounds too funny (because of all the Ignorant Scamese), it's a scam! Then have a good laugh at the scammer's expense and delete!"
Guess what I'm doing right now???
