I'm in the money

Looks like things are looking up at the beginning of my retirement...this arrived in my junk folder today

Quote:
YOUR PAYMENT NOTIFICATION
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF)
East Acton London W3 7DS
England,United Kingdom
Internal Audit, Monitoring,
Consulting and Investigations Division

From: Mr Joseph E. Stiglitz

Hello Unpaid Beneficiary

This is to inform you that I came to Nigeria yesterday from London,after series of complains from the FBI and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe,Oceania, Antarctica,South America and the United States of America respectively,against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations.I have meet with President GoodLuck of Nigeria who claimed that he has been trying his best to make sure you receive your fund in your account.

Right now,as directed by our secretary general Mr. Ban Ki-Moon,We are working in collaborations with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and have decided to authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the payment of your unpaid fund of $15.5M approved by both the British/United States government and the UN into your account without any delay.

Sincerely,you are a lucky person because I have just discovered that some top Nigerian and British Government Officials are interested in your fund and they are working in collaboration with One Mr.Ray Cleams and others from USA to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into their personal account.


I have a very limited time to stay in Nigeria here so I would like you to urgently respond to this message so that I can advise you on how best to confirm your fund in your account within the next 72 hours.


YOURS SINCERELY,
Mr Joseph E. Stiglitz.
General for Internal Oversight

Are you going to play along with them? ie; Send me the money via bank cheque/international money order and I will send you your fees AFTER the fact.

I love phishing games.

I almost got sucked in to buying a 38' boat a few years ago.

Didn't work the way she wanted it to.
