My answer to a Scam attempt!!

 

 

I recently received a "request" to help this poor individual in getting $26 million dollars out of his country. Here is the email I sent back to him.....Funny...he hasn't written me back yet!

 

Dear Dr. Ahmad Mohammed abdul,

I was so excited to get your letter and to know that you put so much trust in me. I will surely not let you down, especially after you have shown your good faith in this proposed transaction by transferring into my bank account in the USA the sum of $260,000.00 ( two hundred sixty thousand US dollars); this is only about 1% of the total sum you are offering me for my help, right? My business partners, Mr. Spock, Scotty, and Dr. McCoy have expressed great interest in this venture.

My bank is Kiss My A$$ Federal Credit Union. You don't need to know the account number; I told my bank to expect the money. They will know which account to put it in. I am already expecting a few hundred thousand dollars from many other persons like you, living on the African continent, who found my e-Mail address by chance and who, like you, are offering me hundreds of thousands even millions (!!!) of dollars just to help them with their financial predicament.

It is surprising how many people in Africa have so much "hidden" money. It really makes me wonder why our U S Congress and charities around the world send money to countries such as yours. Anyway, as soon as I am informed by my bank that the transfer of $260,000.00 is in place, I will get back to you we can work out the other details of your proposed transaction. Naturally, this has to be in strict compliance with all U.S. laws. I will have my lawyer, Perry Mason, draw up the paperwork for your approval. You can expect the forms to be delivered by Roy Rogers or The Cisco Kid by way of Pony Express.

 

Respectfully yours in anticipation,

Captain Kirk

Commander US Starship Enterprise

 

 

By The Way: I am forwarding a copy of your communication to:

 

 

United States Secret Service,

Financial Crimes Division,

419 Task Force, 950 H Street,

Washington, DC, 20001-4518, USA.

 

 

P.S If, as I suspect, you are using your Yahoo e-Mail or Hotmail privileges in an attempt to run a SCAM in the USA, I am asking Yahoo's and MSN's Abuse Service to remove you from their list of e-Mail subscribers. Yahoo and MSN do not tolerate this kind of thing.

Better luck next time !!!

 

 

 

Within 1 week I received over 100 requests for help! So in a way...it backfired!

I wish there was a virus we could attach to our return email that would shut down the entire African Continent web infrastructure..... Hey, they do it in the movies.....
