Ron is so funny.  I love this post especially this part:

"I’ve always wondered, if they have money ear-marked for me, why don’t they take whatever fee’s they require to process the money and then send me the remainder? "

You just gotta admit that he makes sense.

I'm sure, many of you are receiving emails from political refugees, long lost relatives and government agencies reporting unclaimed funds on your behalf.   

Below is a message I received referencing the latest money for which I’m entitled:

"The Cyber Crime Division of the FBI gathered information from the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) on how some people have lost outrageous sums of money to these impostors. As a result of this, we hereby advise you to stop communication with any one not referred to you by us. We have negotiated with the Federal Ministry of Finance that your payment totaling $5,900,000.00(Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars). will be released to you via a custom pin based ATM card with a maximum withdrawal limit of $15,000 a day which is powered by Visa Card and can be used anywhere in the world where you see a Visa Card Logo on the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)."

 

To get this money, all I have to do is send them $200 for customs. Really??!! This would be more believable if they negotiated $5,900 instead of 5 mil. Also, I’ve always wondered, if they have money ear-marked for me, why don’t they take whatever fee’s they require to process the money and then send me the remainder? If you’re tired of these annoying insults to your intelligence, like I am, simply forward the messages to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov

Further, If you have been a victim of this type of scam or any other cyber crime, you can report it to the FBI's IC3 (Internet Cyber Crime Complaints) office at www.IC3.gov. The IC3 complaint database links complaints for potential referral to law enforcement for case consideration. Complaint information is also used to identify emerging trends and patterns to alert the public to new criminal schemes.

Dont be a victim, STAY VIGILANT!!!

Charita: Like you, I get these every day. Enough people must fall for it to be profitable and to continue these emails. You can't even respond to "take me off your list" because then you REALLY on their list.

Charita, I, too, get these types of email pretty frequently; fortunately, my spam captures most of them!
