@ Jeff:

Same same. They plaster the things all over the place knowing (introductory music from West Side Story …)

There’s a mark somewhere
A gormless mark somewhere
With open wallet and gullible air
There’s a mark somewhere ……….

Cheers!

Well, actually, it almost word for word identical. The one I posted asks for a $250 Western
Union Money Transfer; yours asks for $260.

Kind of odd, though to ask for money up front on the very first email like that. The Lads
usually wait to collect their money after the prospective mark has been hooked, so to speak.

Jon, you might want to read this topic over at Broadband Reports (I’m Doctor Four
over there, BTW): http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21925468-419-419-FBI-scam

There’s an FBI 419 I posted to that topic that is word for word identical to the one
you received and posted.

..But that email was confidential! Now you’re going to get in trouble with the FBI!!!

(But in all seriousness, the FBI would probably be interested in knowing that someone’s pretending to be them)
