During our investigation we discovered that your e-mail won the money from an Online Balloting System and we have authorized this winning to be paid to you via a Certified Cashier's Check.


Normally, it will take up to 10 business days for an International Check to be cashed by your local banks. We have successfully notified this company on your behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank within the United States of America so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any delay, henceforth the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD. has been deposited with Bank Of America.

Cashier's Check Conversion Fee (Fee for converting the Wire Transfer payment into a Certified Cashier's Check)

The total amount for everything is $120.00 (One Hundred and twenty USD.) We have tried our possible best to indicate that this $120.00 should be deducted from your winning prize but we found out that the funds have already been deposited at Bank Of America and cannot be accessed by anyone except the legal owner (you), the winner; therefore you will be required to pay the required fee's to the Agent in-charge of this transaction via Western Union Money Transfer Or Money Gram.


In order to proceed with this transaction, you will be required to contact the agent in-charge (JOHN FREEMAN) via e-mail. Kindly look below to find appropriate contact information:

I'll admit I was a little suspicious, but if the FBI says it's 100% safe (actually it's so safe it's Safe with a capital "S"), what have you got to lose?!!

[flyandski365]

"Agent de FBI"

[BmillsSkier]

How far does $120 go in Nigeria these days?

[Chainsaw_Willie]

Wow, the FBI is really on top of things these days. That's really helpful of them. You lucky bastard.

(I sure would like to know just how much money these guys get like this.)

[From_the_NEK]

I got one a similar email three weeks ago and sent my $120 in. However, I still haven't received my winnings. If another week passes I'm thinking contacting the FBI to claim the $3000 penalty fee which payable to only me.

[Todds]

Excellent. Maybe you send $240 to be double sure there aren't any problems.

Glad to see the FBI is helping us collect our Nigerian lottery winnings.

(I sure would like to know just how much money these guys get like this.)

hundreds of millions a year. And the shitty english and off putting phrasing in all these letters is not a mistake; it is there on purpose to weed out the skeptics. If you reply to an email like this you're much more likely to actually send them money.

[Baaahb]

Watch out, some of these are scams. I replied to a similar letter last year and only got $300,000. R-I-P-O-F-F

[1080Rider]

Hey, when you get ahold of John Freeman, could you get me Mulder or Scully's number? I'd like to tell them I was a hudge fan of their documentary show from the 90's. Thanks in advance!

Really? Mind blowing that these scams have been around for so long and still work.

I get what you're saying about the language though. Someone dumb enough to fall for this is probably barely literate themselves so the language in the letter doesn't throw up red flags for them.

[userA]

dumb ain't goin way anytime soon will.

Wow, the FBI is really on top of things these days. That's really helpful of them. You lucky bastard.

Yeah, but the guys over at NSA are laughing their asses off.

[whipski]

My e-mail from the FBI just said I was a bad boy looking at porn and I needed to send $200 paypal or I was going straight to hell!

[smartyiak]

That's BULLSHIT. I watched the entire Tour de France on Al Jazeera...and I get nothing from any alphabet agency. You just sit on your ass and the FBI offers you $800K...FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!
