the latest "Nigerian 419 scam"

[10871087]

Here is the latest Nigerian 419 scam hitting the internet, don't fall for it.



Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson

Boy did he pull that one. Nobody got it.

I really am not convinced any of that will change radically if there is a President Obama.

The problem with common sense is that it's not all that common........

Boy did he pull that one. Nobody got it.

Sometimes I think this isn't the place for political sarcasm.

[Jimbo1]

You did it well. You have a future there I think

It was lost on me ... my loss. But, I know why. I did not read it through, just glanced at it and recognized it for a BS email. Very good in retrospect!!
