Just a little PSA about a scam I hadn't seen yet, and yes, this is the actual email. I was ROFL.

[gopiscrap]

1. Yup, I got shit like this in the mail also

[NoOneMan]

2. I never get invited to anything

[Jackpine Radical]

3. You can tell it's authentic by the spelling & grammar.

However, Hoot, as an Illuminatus of long-standing, I regret to inform you that your injudicious posting of this invitation is very likely to result in the withdrawal of the opportunity unless you act within the next 4 hours to complete your registration. We will also want yur Social Security # and 2 credit cards as further authentication.

[hootinholler]

6. You mean it's four reel?

Damn I guess I screwed the pooch on this one then.

So many grand nuggets in there though. One would expect a secret world domination society to have better grammar though. Must be a disguise!

[NYC_SKP]

4. You and I are going to be in the same secret club?

YAY!

I got that email, too.

Twice!

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Ok this is a new version of the usual crap

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. I see they wisely realized that YOU are a man of potentials.

About time you were recognized for your unique abilities.

I trust you will rule the world and control the media judiously, and not let your new status go to your head.

[Marie Marie]

8. Submit information to your Co-Ordinator, REVEREND Jack Deng. Nice touch!

Of course you can trust this - it is going to a Man of the Cloth. They cover every angle don't they?

[RebelOne]

9. Don't forget to include your banking info

and credit card account numbers.

[longship]

10. What!? No "My friend, I crave your indulgence..."?

...a la the Nigerian scam.

They don't follow the meme? Forget them.

Any good scam should at least follow the well tried and true formula.

The "Empire State Building" is a nice touch, though. I didn't know they had one in Nigeria, too. Going to have to visit there sometime.
