SCAM #24: JAMES B. COMEY

 From the "sir/madam" to delivering the check to me "without any huddle," this is the most inept scam I've received so far. Oh, and let's not forget that the head of the FBI's email address is a Ugandan domain:

James B. Comey <test1@utl.co.ug>

 FBI  HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON , D C.
J. EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING
935 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE ,
NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535-0001

Attn: sir/madam


I wish to inform you that we  have been holding series of meeting with representatives from IMF , United nations and world bank.
It was unanimously agreed that 15 individuals  be given a compensation compensation of $3.00 million in form of cashier check due to  unfinished contract, inheritance payment  they have in Nigeria or loss incurred from Scam.
Other beneficiaries have already receive theirs .
You are the only one whose  cashier check is still undelivered.
You are by this notice advised to contact MR.IBRAHIM DANGWOBE ,ACCOUNTANT GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION via the email address ibrahimdagwobe414@gmail.com  for the delivery of your cashier check .You should cooperate with him and send to him a stamp duty fee of $250 to enable him deliver the  cashier check to you without any huddle.
Thank you for listening to our advice .

Faithfully Yours,
James B. Comey
FBI DIRECTOR

If I were to listen to his advice, I'd be an even bigger idiot than the, well, idiot who sent this. Still, I felt obliged to reply -- and even offer my heartiest felicitations:

Dear Mr. Dagwobe:

First of all, allow me to congratulate Nigeria on advancing to round 16 of the World Cup. I'm sure that you and your fellow sports fans are proud of a group of grown men who make a living kicking a ball around a field. Who needs a good education, right? From what I read in the papers, your Islamist terrorists don't have much use for education, and they're making some pretty serious headway your way!

Giving you, a total stranger, $250 in exchange for $3.00 million is surely a good deal no matter where you stand. Or sit, like I am now. I don't think anybody stands while sending an email, unless they're really tall and prefer to put the computer on top of the refrigerator. Do you have refrigerators in Nigeria? Pretty hot there! Where else would you store your giraffe pate? 

So what's your address? Let's get this deal cooking, before the terrorists blow up what's left of your country.

Chester Hooten 

Mr. Dagwobe must have fallen victim to the terrorists, because he never replied. Either that, or he choked to death on his giraffe pate.

SCAM #22: MR. GEORGE ROLANDO

 I've never heard of bank directors "treading" money; good thing I received this email so I could learn about this apparently dastardly bit of business:

To:

I am Mr. George Rolando, I am an international fund payment manager with the Barclays Bank London, I took my time to go through your fund payment and found out that your payment was delayed and invested in a high Interest Fund Placement by the then directors.

You will find it very difficult to believe that these directors has been making money with your funds, treading with it since they have frustrated you and pushed your funds into a high interest fund placement program.

I can help you receive your funds in United States of America, this is what am good at, am an expert payment manager and top ranking AA with the European & American Banks holding a top payouts record.

I will start by paying you the resent interest made (US$6 000 000) then we will take about getting the deposited total sum of US$40 Million recalled and transferred to you.

I will have your US$6 000 000 Million transferred into a local Bank in United States of America and then fly down to have it transferred into your account locally.

Do get back to me so that I can start immediately.

Mr. George Rolando.

 As requested, I got back to this far-too-humble fellow immediately:

Well, gee, what are you thanking ME for? I should be down on my knees thanking YOU! I had no idea somebody was playing "easy as it goes" with my 6 million smackers. I had no idea I had 6 million smackers, period! So they're treading with my funds, hunh? I'd like to see them treading in shark invested waters instead.

I don't know who you are or how you found me, but I just want to thank you from the bottom of my blitz to the top of my topiary for alerting me to this fraudster bankster guy. Now how are you going to get me the resent interest made? I'll take it tens and twenties, if that's possible. I don't know how many you'd need to make 6 million goobers, but I've got some space in my living room. Get in touch, George! I'm waiting!

Chester Hooten

 And I'm still waiting. Guess I should've asked for a check instead.

SCAM #21: MR. JAMES DAMON CEO

Well, somebody realized that the James Dimon email (scam #10) had run its course. So what better way than changing one letter of his name in order to grab my attention? It's remarkable that the head of Chase works out of a sleepy suburban bank. Note the bank's email address, too -- it doesn't get more professional than that:

Capitalizing on the sentiment prevalent in the heartland, I decided to go the Tea Party route:

Dear Mr. JP Morgan Chase Bank Mr. James Damon CEO 1,

Well it's about time that goddamn United Nations did something for me! I'd say they owe me more than five million bucks for all the crap they dish out to the world. Did they ever do anything for anybody except make laws and tell us what to do? Hell no! As far as I'm concerned, they should give five million to everybody! They got the dough. Hey here's a joke. What's the difference between the UN and a steaming pile of shit? Answer: NOTHING! HAHAHA!

I want their money. What do I have to do to get it? I want it want it WANT IT.

Chester Hooten

Too much? Apparently so. No reply, no five million from that goddamn United Nations.
