"If you think the American people are so smart, I know a Nigerian Banker

that wants your address!"

Thank you Lewis Black in addressing comments to a Walmart supporter on CNN.

One of the best parts of the show!

Think I can still get my money?

Attn, Sir
I am a director with the Federal Ministry of Finance and
was instructed by the Hon Minister of Finance to find out
before the end of this month,WHY your contract/ claim of
your fund have not been credited to your account,after

instructions has been passed to all various Government
quarters that all over due contract/ claim payments should
be released as a lot ofpetitions by beneficiary's has been
received by the Minister.

what this office want you to reconfirm, with your telephone
and fax numbers,any other information, WHY you have not
received your payment up-till date?.
However I will give my assistance to make sure your file is
in order for payment as two people came for the claim of
the fund and submitted account saying that you are not
well.
but you must give me a promissory note stating your
willingness to give me a reasonable amount of money from
your contract payment immediately you get the payment.
Yours faithfully
DR WILLY OBI.
( Federal Ministry of finance Nigeria)

The Secret Service has an advisory for them. From what I understand these types of scams have been running for years and recently have had a resurgence because of email.

The scammers themselves don't always seem to be the brightest and some people enjoy striking back.
