Really makes you wonder how the <1% of people that actually fall for these things manage to do anything. Let alone read the email.

Rocky Raccoon · Nov 07, 2009, 03:26 PM // 15:26

Those Nigerians only have to find that <1% to make money.

Obvious scam is obvious. I don't really think the FBI would contact you in this fashion, and if they were to contact you, you'd have agents and/or a formal letter that's not this poorly written. I'd delete it without reading.

Thanks for posting this Silent! It's good for people who are maybe not used to the net to see scams like this all the time!

They'll try anything ¬.¬
