History of Scams


I know everyone gets lots of stupid scam emails. But this one made me laugh out loud.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Counter-terrorism Division and Cyber Crime Division J. Edgar. Hoover Building Washington DC.
Dear Beneficiary,

Series of meetings have been held over the past 4 months with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization. This ended 7 days ago. It is obvious that you have not received your fund which is to the tune of Two Million, Two Hundred Thousand United State Dollars ($2,200,000.00) due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for their selfish reasons and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your fund.
And all I have to do is click reply or something.  Hell, it's not much wierder than the average crypto marketing pitch.
