1. One would think...

That with all their money, the FBI would have spelling and grammar checkers. Oh well, those National Security Letters must cost a lot more than we know.

[sentelle]

17. and I would presume that

The FBI would know that it doesn't handle Banking and Treasury isssues. The enforcement on that is tasked to the US Secret Service.

18. Look at this person's comment on the Monkeyman site

A very interesting non-criminal but definitely political argument this person gives for the Nigerian scam letters in a comment left for the owner of the website. The level of hostility directed towards the West in this message is alarming. This is what our foreign policy has done for us. And why it's ironic when we all express surprise at the fact that we are no longer respected or admired abroad.

[Trajan]

7. Fascinating mix ....

[OneBlueSky]

8. hey, congrats! .. . . can I borrow 50K? . . . thanx so much . . . :) n/t

9. Well their getting tech savvy

I've been watching these letters for the last twenty years. They used to be hand written, mostly from Liberia back then. There wasn't so much money transfer mumbo-jumbo back then, not the FBI connections, but always the hope that you will just take advantage of the gracious opportunity that the person in England's short sighted folly was going to miss...

I recall one person who tried to win over the Nigerian money. Ed Mezvinski, husband of late congresswoman Marjorie Margolis Mezvinski. He lost everything in the effort, and ended up bilking his wife's campaign of funds. Claimed he was bi polar in manic phase. Who knows?

Still these letters are intriguing.

10. One would think that the FBI would be able to construct a coherent sentence

i don;t think I'd worry too much about this. sounds like another angle of the scam.

[GTurck]

11. This is a typical...

scam letter. Don't believe that it is from the FBI at all. With all the errors and the promise of your receiving $10 million it is simply not credible. Unless you knew that money was forth coming from a legitimate source I would turn this letter over to the proper authorities immediately.
It is good to be suspicious of our out-of-control government but don't be so cynical that you believe something like this instead. It could be very expensive.

[Javaman]

12. The best part about this scam is this...

if the FBI really wanted you, they wouldn't be sending a letter. LOL

[helderheid]

13. THESE CONDITION IS

[Matariki]

14. Looks like the FBI needs some college graduate copy writers

ones that don't randomly capitalize words in the middle of sentences ;-)

[Generic Other]

15. CHARGE YOU FOR ILLEGALLY MOVING FUNDS OUT OF NIGERIA?

Did Karl Rove send me this?

FYI...the spam file grew exponentially since I responded to a DU activist call to write to the DNC.

[Michigan-Arizona]

20. I received the same one

I got that one plus a couple other's. Funny how they can open an account in my name but I can't without showing them my driver's lic.... I couldn't add my hubby without him being there to sign the paper's & show his lic..

21. Also I just noticed someone stole my DU donor star

That damn Nigerian scammer!
