Hey, everyone — look at this e-mail I just received:

Economy
and Financial crime commission (EFCC) have undergone
unprecedented
transformation in recent years,for developing the
intelligence capabilities
necessary to address Emerging Terrorist and
Internet Fruad.But due to all the
irregularities,We are also mindful
that our mission is not just to safeguard
American lives, but also to

Director in Charge.
Federal Bureau
of
Investigation (FBI)

No kidding!  I received this just half-an-hour ago!

Why, surely this is not a hoax or an attempt to rip me off, right?  I can’t wait to divulge all of my personal information to this stranger!  A stranger who, mind you, has clearly stated that he is safeguarding American lives and liberties and has demonstrated such fine typing, spelling, and grammar skills!

Of course, I will tithe and give a very generous offering to God’s Work.  Then, I think I will buy a solid gold calculator.

[OK... That feels better! Sometimes you just have to get something out of your system. :)   Really, if you believe anything like this when you see it, then I still have some gullibility detectors to sell you (like I mentioned Thursday).  Have a wonderful Sabbath!]

    You can have this $8.3 million — or $4,500 cash back for your old gas-guzzling car.

    Deal…. or no deal?

    My husband just got a letter yesterday telling him this was his last chance to cash in on the $250,000.00 random lottery he won in Canada. They even sent him a check for $2,500.00 to help pay the taxes. Of course we can’t cash the check until we call talk to someone first. I guess they need to know all our personal information.

    I feel cheated, now, though. My husband win was no where near your $8.3 million, and I got rid of my old gas gussle years ago.

    For some reason I keep winning the UK National Lottery. The Nigerians seem to like me a lot too.

    I’m more interested in reading the email headers.
