ATTENTION FUND BENEFICIARY,
This is an official advice from the FBI foreign Remittance / telegraphic dept; it has come to our notice that the C.B.N Bank Nigeria district has released 10,500,000.00 US dollars into bank of America in your name as the beneficiary, by inheritance means.
The C.B.N Bank Nigeria knowing fully well that they do not have Enough facilities to effect this payment to your account, used what we know as a secret diplomatic transit payment (s .t. d. p) to pay this fund through wire transfer, they used this means to complete the payment.
They are still, waiting for confirmation from you on the already Transferred funds which were made in direct transfer so that they can do final crediting to your account. Secret diplomatic payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities why must your payment be made in secret transfer, if your transaction is legitimate, if you are not a terrorist, then why did you not receive the money directly into your account; this is a pure coded, means of payment?
Records which we have had with this method of payment in the past Has always been related to terrorist acts, we do not want you to get into trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your account in the U.S.A, so it is our duty as a world wide commission to correct this little problem before this fund will be credited into your personal account.
Due to the increased difficulty and unnecessary security by the American authorities when funds come from outside of Europe, and the Middle East, the FBI bank commission for Europe has stopped the transfer on its way to deliver payment of $10,500,000.00 to debit your reserve account and pay you through a secured diplomatic transit account (s. d. t. a). We govern and oversee funds transfer for the World Bank and the rest of the world.
We advice you contact us immediately, as the funds have been Stopped and are being held in our custody, until you provide us with a diplomatic immunity seal of transfer (dist) within 3 days from the world local bank that authorize the transfer from where the funds was transferred from to certify that the funds that you are about to receive from Nigeria are antiterrorist/drug free or we shall have cause to cross and impound the Payment, we shall release the funds immediately we receive this legal documents.

You’d think Robert Mueller has nothing better to do with his time than send spam e-mails! But we all know this isn’t from FBI headquarters.

I am currently engaged in jerking this piece of scum all over the place and having a ball!
March 6, 2009 @ 8:57 pm
When in doubt whether it’s a spam, just look at the scam itself. The formatting, wording, grammar and English just isn’t right. And with the USA’s economy being what it is, and all the war on terror and drugs, you have to know this is nothing but canned spam. No money, no “compensation”. Just an empty bank account and a lot of misery.

is this just a scam?
