I am a Millionaire...again!

For some unexplained reason, I am still surprised when I get these kind of SPAM scam emails.  I assume because of the failing economy over the past two years, these have increased and it seems the Yahoo filters don't stop them.  ANNOYING.  At any rate, its just amusing to me that they keep trying and in case you want to collect the cashier's check for me, here is your chance:

FYI


I have been waiting for you to pick up your Cashier Check of $1,759,000 USD (ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE US DOLLARS) before I leave the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but you did not show up as I did not hear from you. I am writing to inform you that I have deposited your cashier check with UNITED PARCEL SERVICE there in Nigeria.

For your information, I'm now in Dubai to resume my new job offer and will not go back to Nigeria till next year. Please you have to contact the United Parcel Service of Nigeria to know when they will deliver your package to your resident address in your country.

Note that I have paid for the security keeping fee. The only money you will have to pay is the shipping/handling fee which only cost $95.00 US Dollars to receive your check parcel as agreed with them.


Please contact the company with their below details:


Name: Abu Richard
Tel: +2348181477003
E-mail: ups-express.ng@rdwang.com


Thanks for your attention.

Should you decide to collect my cashiers check for me, I would be happy to split it with you minus the security fee.  That seems fair to me, right?  LOL

I wonder if there are stats of how often this has worked, even a little bit.

I feel like it must work to some extent at least some of the time or why would they keep doing it? It doesn't need to work often to be like that little lab rat pushing the lever for his pellet of LSD.

But yeah, I'm still surprised when they show up too.

To give them credit, it's Nigerian number alright. I'm just troubled by their inability to either write out numbers, or count.

In any case, unfortunately I'm not headed anywhere near Nigeria in the upcoming future. Sorry...
