I just got one from the FBI that said that I had to get a document from the Bureau of Economic Crimes Unit to prove that the $1.5M transfer I'm getting from the Bank of Nigeria is not the proceeds of criminal or terrorist activity.  The document costs $250.  Failure to get this document and show it to the FBI will result in my eventual arrest and a long prison term.  You know though the English was terrible.  I would expect an FBI director to have better English skills than that.  Confused

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It is really a good chance for shopping. Just grasp the opportunity, Now or never!

Just to be ironic, my vote is on this site as the most originally advertised, for I don't think Ive seen an advertisement to this site, except perhaps from bands who are linking me to their reviews.

That's clever stuff.

I get all kinds of spam.  the viagra adds are the most annoying, but at the same time come up with some of the more interesting subject lines.  "Activate your night missile"; "Your pork sword will be ready for action" (never really thought of those terms for my pocket rocket before); "Women will be at your mercy" (are you trying to sell me viagra or a gun? Confused); "Your girlfriend will be happy" (why are you going to send someone to wash the dishes? Wink) .
 
Also, I love the scams where they say "My rich father who used to be president of the country of (insert name of African country here) was killed in a military coup and now I'm trying to smuggle $800 million of his money out of the country.  Let me put it in your bank account -because I always trust people I've never met with that kind of money- and I'll give you half.  This is perfectly legal and safe." 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I get loads of Nigerian Bank scams, but I got a Lonely Ukrainian Woman scam a while back. It was nice to see something different for me to laugh at in my Junk box.

Being a woman, when I get the Viagra ads or the letters from lonely Russian women I can't help laughingLOL... The Viagra ads translated into Italian with the help of one of those notorious online translators are particularly hilarious.

I once read an article in which the author corresponds with a spammer, telling this long, elaborate story throughout their emails.
