Now, New and Improved! Latest Scam Spam with extra FBI and Homeland Security Enhancement!

I think my favorite part of the email below is the convoluted grammar, odd capitalizations and reference to DHS, "The FBI Seattle Division in conjunction with the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Has screened through our various Monitoring Networks and has been confirmed and notified that the transaction you have with the Financial Institution is Legal and you have the Lawful Right to claim your due fund."

Doesn't everyone with an email address know by now that if the email says to contact a "bank" in Nigeria that it's a scam?

Oh, and regardless of the "confidentiality" notice at the end, I'd like to see them try to take action against me for sharing this with you - there were no addresses listed on the email, so the "intended for the addresses (sic) only" bit - kind of hard to enforce...
subjectNOTICE OF YOUR FUND APPROVAL


Federal Bureau of Investigation
FBI Seattle Division
1110 Third Avenue
Seattle, Washington 98101-2904


Our Ref: FRBN/NY/PA/INV/2009

NOTICE OF YOUR FUND APPROVAL

This is to inform that you are eligible to receive the sum of $7,500,000.00US dollars regarding to an over-due Inheritance/Award payment which was fully endorsed to be paid in your favor.

The FBI Seattle Division in conjunction with the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Has screened through our various Monitoring Networks and has been confirmed and notified that the transaction you have with the Financial Institution is Legal and you have the Lawful Right to claim your due fund.

Note that the reason for not contacting you before now was that firstly, the bank is responsible for the payments and as such proper work has to be done to avoid beneficiaries loosing their money due to false claim by some people you are advised to follow the procedure of the Financial Institution. They have their own legal procedure which we have examined and confirmed legal.

To effect and carry out the directives given, you are advised to contact the Payment Systems of Central Bank of Nigeria:-

Sir. Charles Ferguson
International Claims Officer
Phone: +234 803 755 5341
Fax: +234 014 563 234
E-Mail: centralbankng@chinaren.com

Note all above information is expected within 24 - 72 Hours that from when you receive this mail, should you not respond means your approval will be turned down and returned to the Government treasury account as unclaimed Funds. Modalities of transfer will be avail to you upon the receipt of this mail.

Yours sincerely,
Mr. Richard Blair
