Thread: worse scam than the Nigerians

Tweet

Dear american:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am ministry of the treasury of the republic of america. My countryhas had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of800 billion dollars us. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with mr. Phil gram, lobbyist for ubs, who will be my replacement as ministry of the treasury in january. As a senator, you may know him as leader of american banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin 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 fundaccount numbers and those of your 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
