A scam about scams!!

I did think that at least this scam was original - not only is there money on offer, but it's because of scams!!!! A nice symmetry I thought:)

Greetings !!!

We have been waiting for you to contact me for your Trunk Box worth
$1,650,000.00 (One Million, Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars), being compensation fund for 150 scam victims, but I did not hear from
you all this while.


I have deposited the Trunk Box with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I
traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not be back until
completion of my 3 months course. What you have to do now is to contact the
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE immediately to know when they will deliver your
consignment to you because of the expiring date.

For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge, Insurance premium and
Clearance Certificate Fee of the consignment showing that it is not a Drug Money
or meant to sponsor Terrorism attack in your Country. The only money you will
send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Trunk Box direct to your
postal Address in your country is US$185 only being Security Keeping Fee of the
Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other
money except US$185.


I would have paid that but they refused, because they don't know when you will
contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER
SERVICE now for the delivery of your Trunk Box with this information below:


Reconfirm the below information to the agent:
Full Name;........
Home Address;........
Country;......
Telephone:........
Age;..................
Occupation;.............

Let me repeat again, try to contact them immediately you receive this mail to
avoid any further delay and remember to pay the Security Keeping fee of US$185
for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as
you receive your consignment. Below is an attached copy of your trunk box.

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Rosemary Campbell

Hi Rosemary!!! great to hear from you:)

So - what's this course you're going on for 3 months? What country is it in? I always like to travel myself, but Id not thought of combining this with studying something - how clever of you!! Did you go through an agent, or organize it all yourself? I must say I think you're being very enterprising!!

Yea these Scams are the pits, aren't they? I've never actually been involved in one myself, so I really don't think I should take you up on the offer of funds, but thanks for thinking of me - I really do appreciate it!!!

Incidentally, I'm not sure what "demurrage" means - could you let me know?


Best regards!!!
