They are still, waiting for confirmation from you on the already Transferred funds which was made in direct transfer so that they can do final crediting to
your account. secret transit diplomatic payment are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities why must your payment be made in secret transfer, if your transaction is legitimate, if you are not a terrorist, then why did you not receive the money directly into your account; this is a pure coded, means of payment?

FBI Director
Robert S. Mueller, III

Anyone else ever get an "official" letter from the director of the FBI explaining how to obtain your funds from the Nigerian government?

[Devek]

Seems legit, don't be a pussy.

[Marcicus]

I had a lot of those spam my email when I was a freshmen in college. It was really annoying. :/

[Pikarya]

Fbi Headquarters in Washington, D.C

I stopped reading right there.

[Milks]

Yeah, and I'm fucking rich! Don't hesitate man, just do it.

[Tyrath]

You should follow in Rayne's footsteps

[Souj]

isnt posing as an FBI agent an incredibly high class felony? even more so than the illegalness of their scam crimes?

[Max™]

FBI Agent, yes.

Fbi Agent? Not if you created a business called Fbi or something.

[Gulkeeva]

I stopped reading at
Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division

Although any e-mail with words like...
FBi, nigeria, bank, money
pretty much is a scam for the most part

you'd think after all the years of sending spam e-mails with the word nigeria in it they'd change it to something else.

[Demosthenes]

I need to put my half Nigerian skills to use.

[_chuchu]

These types of e-mails are awesome, inbox flooded with hundreds of these every week

[Takedown3]

I need to put my half Nigerian skills to use.

penis half?

[Demosthenes]

penis half?

huh?

[Takedown3]

black dudes have big wangs

[Tokitoki]

isnt posing as an FBI agent an incredibly high class felony? even more so than the illegalness of their scam crimes?

I would think so, especially trying to pose as the director.

[zoobernut]

I get flooded by the more standard scam emails I just thought this one was unique because they are pretending to be the Fbi and telling me that the whole thing is legit.

[Skjie]

I liked the part where if you don't follow the instructions, you will be arrested as a terrorist.

[geno]

I hope the Nigerian king knows about this scam and decides he really wants to leave $10 million to a random person but only inform them over e-mail.

edit: also, I hope the President of Nigeria declares himself a king and has over $10 million to give away.

[Valkrish]

failure.

[Kyo]

TBH, you can just stop at nigerian because everyone knows, aint no negro gunna give you 5 bucks much less 10 million.
