I was reading the paper this morning, specifically my horoscope, and it said I was going to come into a financial windfall. Then I went to my e-mail, and there in my SPAM was an e-mail from the FBI. Why would my SPAM blocker do this to me!!!

Anyway, the E-mail said the FBI had totally investigated this claim and my e-mail address had been selected to receive $800,000! And to add credibility, the funds have been transferred to Bank of America. This is just too good to believe - both my horoscope AND the FBI want me to have this fantastic sum of money. To make it easy for me to obtain my windfall, all I have to do is send $400 to cover processing fees to a Nigerian address and they'll release my money.

Now, usually, when e-mails say to send money to Nigeria, the English is really bad, Bank of America is not involved and they leave out the FBI. The English in this E-mail is perfect, no grammar issues or spelling problems. So this has to be real, right? Should I send a personal check or get a Nigerian cashier's check? Oh, the decisions.

LMAO, Action, you are just too hilarious. That is so funny. Now, let's see, do you really want to send the money to Nigeria. Heck YEA!!.. I'm sorry, but I had to say that.  :) .. Glad you are too smart to fall for that.

Thanks for the advice Gen!! Now I just need to find someone who will sell me a Nigerian cashier's check. Wonder what the exchange rate is?

That is a good question. If you find out, let us all know.
