Dear Recipient:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship
with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am the Minister of the Treasury of the Republic of America.
My country has had a crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds
of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it
would be most profitable to you.

I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, lobbyist for UBS, who will
be my replacement as Minister of the Treasury in January. As a Senator,
you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement
in the 1990s. Therefore this transaction is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the
funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds
in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under
surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and
trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be
transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund
account numbers and those of your parents, siblings, children, and
grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your
commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond
with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to
protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully,
Minister of Treasury Paulson

I get 2-3 a day like you got. it is like the Nigerian letters except they are now coming from China, UK, just about anywhere

I had been sending hem to phone busters a while back but don’t think they are doing anything with them

I even got one from the FBI< offical seal and signed. ASking for my help in something. I forget what now

I called the RCMP here and they wanted it so I forwarded to them

When you think of it, how did the FBI get my addy. All scams. I just delete them all.
, ,
Seems no way of stopping them as I get 100’s of them . I get them from pharmicueticals , and advertising fake diplomas, work at home schemes, etc. You name it I get them and some not so nice. No unsubcribe links but I didn’t subscribe to any of these.

I open my emails every morning and I have at least 150 of such crappy pain in the , oh lol,lol I was going to say butt. But crappy pain the butt wouldn’t sound good huh, lol,lol (crap butt)

I really don’t know how to stop them from coming

how sad that we need to become so .. paranoid I guess (I guess that’s not the word since the hoaxes keep coming fast and furious.
I received 2 from my “internet server” this past week. “execulink@gmail.com” . Wow – my server uses a gmail account!!

Ms Deb

Your server doesn’t use gmail. Be careful

I got that too and called my server. They did not send any emails

I forwarded both emails immediately to my server. They had already known about the first one but the second was a new one.

The only reason that they continue is that people are too freaking gullible and will click/forward/believe almost anything that they get in email.

BTW, Microsoft says to tell you your email’s been selected to win 2,000,000,000€

WEll I did call government agency and ask plus I checked snopes

The government did send this warning and they did not send a letter in the mail. Scammers did.

So that gov post is legit

this was just warnings.. that’s a good thing.
I think Scott’s referring to why there are so many spams out there—if they get one response out of 1,000,000 emails sent out then it was worth their time. It only takes one person.

My Mom received a letter in the mail last month saying she owed $16 to a company. She was upset. I said that it was a spam and to take the letter to the police. She did. The police called the number on the letter she received and said to forward the original bill to my Mom. She hasn’t heard anything from them since.
