Ok… I’m not an idiot. At least I don’t think I am.
This came in my email. I was surprised to see that this old scam is still around. Guess they figure there is a new sucker born every minute?

Now for all you folks that don’t want to do the math, 30% comes to $5,850,000.00. Now when was the last time you had a complete stranger email you from a foreign country offering you 5.75 million (along with 13 of your closest relatives). So I figure this must be a legitimate claim, right? After all, it did come to me! So I’m planning on how to spend my millions, and while I’m planning, I sent a reply.

Mr. Feng Chio,

While I can understand your position and implications of making a transaction of this nature, I require of you, your bank account number and authorization code so that I may issue drafting instructions to my financial institute in order to facilitate a rapid transaction.

Looking forward to conducting business with you and your firm.

Kind Regards,

Jia Junpeng
Beijing, China

I wonder if I’ll get a response?
