We all get these but this one is so odbvous It makes me wonder if anyone, and I mean anyone is stupid enough to fall for it. Check this out:
Subject: Your Overdue Payment
AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA 11 GARKI ROAD ABUJA ABUJA, NIGERIA
ATTN: BENEFICIARY
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT THE U.S DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THER U.S EMBASSY TO NIGERIA SHALL BE SENDING ONE OF HIS DIPLOMAT TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR AN OFFICIAL MEETING AND HE WILL BE BRINGING YOUR OUTSTANDING FUND/PAYMENT IN FORM OF AN ATM CARD OR IN FORM OF A CONSIGNMENT ALONG WITH HIM BUT THIS TIME HE WILL NOT GO THROUGH CUSTOMS PROBLEM AS HE IS A DIPLOMATIC OFFICER FROM THE US EMBASSY AND HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE VETO POWER TO GO THROUGH CUSTOMS ROOT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
AS SOON AS HE IS THROUGH WITH THE MEETING HE WILL THEN PROCEED TO YOUR ADDRESS. (PLS RE-CONFIRM TO US YOUR PRESENT CELL PHONE NUMBER AND THE ADDRESS WHERE YOU WANT HIM TO BRING THE ATM CARD OR FUND/CONSIGNMENT TO).
WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TASK UPON OURSELVES BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE REALLY PAID SO MUCH ON COST OF TRANSFER,ATM CARD DELIVERY ETC BUT NOTHING WAS RECEIVED. I MUST SAY THAT YOU ARE A VERY LUCKY PERSON BECAUSE OUR DIPLOMATIC OFFICER WILL BE BRINGING THE FUND AS AN ATM CARD OR AS A CONSIGNMENT HIMSELF TO YOUR DOORSTEP DEPENDING ON WHICH METHOD OF PAYMENT YOU PREFER AND THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE IN THIS WORLD CAN DO ABOUT IT. THE ONLY OBSTACLE HERE BEFORE THE DELIVERY IS THAT YOUR PACKAGE MUST BE REGISTERED AS AN AMBASSADORIAL PACKAGE FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO DEFEAT ALL ODDS AND THE COST OF THE PACKAGE REGISTRATION IS $125 ONLY.
THE FEE MUST BE PAID BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT 50 HOURS VIA WESTERN UNION SO THAT ALL NECCESSARY ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE BEFORE TIME WILL BE AGAINST US. SEND THE FEE VIA MONEY GRAM OR WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER-
RECEIVER'S NAME: DIKE CHI ADDRESS: LAGOS, NIGERIA TEXT QUESTION: WHY ANSWER: NO HITCHES AMOUNT:$125
AS SOON AS YOU SEND THE FEE MAKE SURE YOU SEND ME THE PAYMENT INFORMATION VIA THIS EMAIL FOR OUR PERUSAL.
I EXPECT YOU TO COMPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THE DELIVERY REGISTRATION WILL BE COMPLETED ASAP BUT IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY, THEN IT WILL NOT BE MY FAULT IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR PACKAGE THIS TIME THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY US.
I REMAIN,

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Fear not, Mr. Trout. Robin Renee has likely sent out a scad of these things and will get a handsome return on the effort. This is, after all, the land of the gullible and the home of the chump.
