I received this email this morning. How can anyone fall for this sort of BS?

"ATTENTION,
I 'M CONTACTING YOU NOW BASE ON ISSUE IN MY OFFICE THIS MORNING BECAUSE YOUR PAYMENT FILE WHICH CONTAIN YOUR $4.5M WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY THE BANK OF AFRICA HERE IN BENIN REPUBLIC WHO ORDERED ME TO SIGN THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR PAYMENT FILE AND I ASKED HIM WHY AND HE SAID THAT YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED AND ALWAYS INSULT HIM BECAUSE THEY TOLD YOU TO PAY $59 TO RECEIVE YOUR FUND.

SO I DECIDED TO WRITE YOU BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THE LAW AND I WILL NOT BE AGAINST ANYBODY IN THIS WORLD AND I THINK THAT MAYBE HE HAS A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH YOU.

I HAVE NOT TOUCH YOUR PAYMENT FILE UNTIL I HEAR FROM YOU THIS MORNING BECAUSE I HAVE A HUMAN SYMPATHY.

SO MY DEAR I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND IF YOU STILL NEED TO RECEIVE YOUR FUND THEN I WILL TELL YOU WHERE YOU WILL SEND THE $59 AND HAVE THIS FUND SEND TO YOU THROUGH MY POWER.

CONTACT ME HERE [ mikedean006@gmail.com ] AS SOON AS YOU GOT THIS MAIL THANKS.

CHIEF JUSTICE MIKE DEAN

It's THE BANK OF AFRICA, so it's legit. And, why did the CHIEF JUSTICE have to scream?

The shitty english is never a warning sign...you'd think they'd at least take the time to make it palatable. Poor marketing.

I get them frequently on my work email.

I've read that they're *designed* to look stupid. The senders want only truly naive respondents, so they don't waste time on people who won't eventually fall for the scam.


===
I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

I've always wondered why the scammers and the sellers from China pay some American to proof read their garbage?

This is your business, put a little effort into it.

Just pay the $59 and get your money. That guy was so nice to do this for you.
