If you have ever wondered why the world is like it is consider the image below which is a snip of an email I received this morning.
Apparently in their largess the UN has decided to give me $7.5M if I send them $12,000. Intriguingly scams like this are like any other business, you wouldn’t do it if there were not a pay off and somewhere in the world there will be someone stupid enough to think that the UN really has decided to give them $7.5M and all they have to do is front up with 12K.
I thought it might be from a Nigerian government minister
I noticed the name on the email – not William Halsey Jnr?. I have gotten a lot of these types of communications over the years and they usually give themselves self aggrandising titles or names, or official sounding bodies to try to draw the gullible in
I know mine are genuine because they come straight from the FBI. Now I’m patienly waiting for my money
waiting, waiting, waiting….
