There is an issue with the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER UNITED KINGDOM in the amount of $600,000.00 USD directed in cash credited to file KTU/9023118308/03,at the owner of this email address.The INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND contacted us for your compensation a couple of hours ago due to your allocated security code.

They said that they choose to send it to an email address instead of a name. We are unable to complete a transfer directed at an email address,so we require some more information in order to complete this transfer.

In order to resolve this problem,please email via Western Union SolicitorsFund Verification Department: ( [1]wumt.agent@administrativos.com ) As soon as this information is received,and you have complied with therequirements of payment for the remitence permit $275 the money will be sent to you via western union and give you the MTCN for the pick up.Note: That this is not one of those Nigerian/African scams that all they are after is to ripe you off your money and at the end you will not receive your funds, but note that this is no scam and is directly from the Management of Western Union Money Transfer Benin Republic Head Office and our Motto is To Serve You Better.

Hey, I'll front you the $275.00 for a piece of the non-scam proceeds!

Yes, but Vietnam is the new Nigeria. Oh and yeah, obviously an email that claims it isn't a Nigeria scam is trustworthy. Don't you believe all email you receive?

I'm glad they aren't going to ripe me off my money.

I caught the ripe part too.

"Oh, ripe? Good thing it's not 'rip'. That would be shady!"

I was going to say the same.

Bah, pocket change! I'm holding out for a cut of the $134 BILLION in bearer bonds recently confiscated by the Italians from a couple of Japanese guys trying to smuggle them into Switzerland.

Plus I totally want to run that as a Feng Shui plot.

"Hey buddy, can you break a half-billion?"

Oh yeah, I'm following that story obsessively but I'd of course run it using Caper!.
