Poor standard of English typical of Nigerian scam emails and the date at the top is not in the normal United States format of month first and then the date. I could pick more holes in it, but why bother? I've not seen this before, but if it arrived in my inbox, it'd go right into the deleted folder. Thanks for the heads up on it.

Thanks for posting a spam mail. It is an innovative way of the Nigerians to rob us. As soon I saw the "Nigeria word", I was immediately confirmed that the email is a spam. They have now come with a way to attract people with the name of FBI.
Thanks for sharing.

No problem. There's a lot of "versions" of these emails and I didn't think people have heard about this one before. Its good that you can tell its spam; I've never experienced it before so that's why I want to spread the word. Happy mylotting!

Hi snam,
I've have received those emails, and I know it's not true, first because I don't have any relatives outside the U.S. second I know I no know who I am. LOL. One of the many times when I received something like this. I wrote back and told them to send the money to BANK OF AMERICA in CA. with instruction for bank of american to call me when they got the money. and once I ge the money I would send them back the cut they would get. That they didn't need all my inforamtion. Of course they didn't respond write back.

Thank you for the information, it is a real service! You know, I think I may have received the above email. I recall something from FBI in my spam folder. I didn't open it because all I do with the stuff in my spam folder is create filters and delete them. I don't know if I can find out what it was; if I do I will report it.
Thanks again!

Here's some more advice: You get more spam if you open them so just mark them as junk and ignore them. Also, switch to Gmail as they have fabulous spam blocker. That is your choice if you aren't already using them but its just recommended. Happy mylotting!
