Greetings Friend, my name is Hock A Loogie, and I am a senior bank administrator for one of the largest banks here in Setaskam.
I am coming to you today to tell you of a great offer that only you know of. (Although I have emailed it to over ten million others.)
I want you to send me money, and lots of it so that I can access this account that has millions of dollars in it left over from the terrorists of 9'11.
Although I am a Senior Vice President of our bank, I need for you to email me not at our banks email address, but at a YAHOO account I have set up for just this illegal purpose.
Please do not notify others that you and I are working together. Your significant other will call this a scam, but you and I both know that it is not.
I humbally await your response.

What is sad is the fact that I actually know two people who fell for this offer. My brother, and his firend John. I warned them both that it was a scam but John went ahead and sent the guy money. A lot of money. Chris sent some money but later realized he had been scammed and opted out. John sent even more money. He had to file bankruptcy last year because of it. Just goes to show you, people are stupid.
The clever ones are the ones that look like ISP or Banks that need you to update your records. I nearly fell for one but something told me to think. How did my bank get my email account. That question saved me a lot of hell.
