Attention, this is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me?
I hope youre understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.
We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.
Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where instructed in the e-mail below. this is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your properties confiscated.
You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our director has already been notified about you get the process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as strictly signed by the fbi director. We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi.
As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00 usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you. You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.
I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you the 03/11/2011 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

Sounds pretty serious, John. And official, too... "so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched."
Welcome back.

Glad was i that you message receive and I not. Fearful be I would. 😉
Isn't it worth $98 to get the fbi off your back?
I would bet that it cost the fbi more than $98 just to type that email.
Just pay the fbi the money so you do not have to run anymore.
If these guys would hire an editor, or at least a native English speaker with a modicum of education, they'd snare a whole lot more chumps. As written, the message is unlikely to intimidate anyone with an intellect beyond that of the average 3rd-grader.
I thought maybe you had taken the package of Chinese Jerky home with you.
Wile I was in Hong Kong I received one of these scam emails from someone who said they worked for a bank in Hong Kong, etc. I was tempted to call and say here I am, let's meet. Of course I doubt they were even writing from Hong Kong, probably Nigeria.
What amazes me is that they still send these out, which means there must be people who fall for these obvious scams. Actually, I have heard cases where people sent money MULTIPLE times.
Hmmm....maybe this is just a tax on stupid people, sort of like the lottery....
Glad I made my visits to Hong Kong when the Brit's still had it. Just had to be careful about what you said about the Queen, could start a riot. Good place to get run over, the cars came speeding at you from the wrong side. Didn't know the FBI had any authority offshore, think I would use that as a defense for ignoring them as long as you have.

Lots of these scams come in daily to http://flakelist.org/. Feel free to report this one too if ya wanna. 🙂
These scammers must buy email lists. I'll get one of these from time to time sent to my deceased aunts email...an email she hardly ever used!! :-S
PS: You got back fast!!! Where's the pics?! 😉
Today I basically rambled around in a daze. I finally went to sleep at 4 AM, and got up at 11, even though I could have slept more...
Tomorrow and Wednesday in the field, hopefully I will get some pics uploaded Thursday or Friday
