Get this - totally random thoughts here... ;\) no surprise I'm sure.

So - I've gotten a LOT of those emails lately - the ones that say my father was killed but before he died, he put a bazillion dollars into this bank and I need your help. Whatevah! Junk mail...

So today I get this one:

Attn.
We have some reasons to believe that you WERE or ARE currently being swindled by some notorious Nigerian internet scammers otherwise known as 419ners (no punctuation? cute!)

With the help and full co-operation of the western union and money gram (Please see WESTERN UNION PRIVACY POLICY), we have since posted security agents in these financial organizations to monitor and compile list of people sending money into Nigeria especially where the name sending the funds is completely western. We then investigate the recipients of such funds with a view to finding out if such a person has any relations or legitimate business links in the country such money was reportedly sent from . We alert the sender of the possibility of being scammed where we have a good reason to believe so.

We have succeeded in getting these financial institutions to disclose third parties information's especially where a fraud case has being established in relation to Nigeria. So far, we are happy with the result because we have saved some from the agony of putting their life and that of there loved ones in danger of loosing all they have worked for to these criminals parading themselves as business men and women.

As a duty to the international community and general public we are building a one stop website on all there is to know about these scams. You are encouraged to forward details of such transaction to us without delay. (I'm sure I am!) This information will help build our case against the culprits and facilitate the arrest, prosecution and repatriation of your funds.

We may never know of cause (say what???????) unless we have your full co-operation in this matter. PLEASE, CONFIRM TO US WEATHER OR NOT YOU HAVE BEING A VICTIM OF THESE SCAMMERS. SO WE EITHER DROP OR EASYLY GET THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CRIMES WITH A VIEW OF RECOVERING YOU'RE FUNDS.
not to mention that last sentence sucked as far as structure goes ;\) )

You're faithfully,
JOSEPH LUNA
