Here's a new one:


Dear Sir/Madam:

We are writing to let you know that it has come to our notice and we have thoroughly completed our investigations with the help of our Financial Intelligence Monitoring Network that you are entitled to an economic stimulus payment of $450,450.00 USD as provided by the Global Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. You can expect your payment within the next 2 weeks if you comply with the instructions stated in this communication. You will not be required to report the amount of your stimulus payment as taxable income on your 2008 federal income tax return.

This deposit was labeled as "COMPENSATION" and was not in error as the funds have subsequently been deposited into a reserve account with your e-mail address attached as reference. This grant has been confirmed to be legitimately yours and will be disbursed immediately upon request.

We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to receive the certified cashier's check or a wire transfer into your personal account as we have verified the entire transaction to be safe and 100% risk free, due to the fact that the funds is with CIT Bank Limited you will be required to settle the following bills directly to the CIT Bank Limited Agent in-charge of this transaction whom is located at the Bank's headquarters.

According to the directives, you are required to pay for the following :-

(3) Insurance (This is the fee paid by bank to insure the transfer of the funs or your check before been deposited at the bank)

The total cost of this fee is $550.00 USD USD (Five Hundred and Fifty US Dollars Only).

We have tried our possible best to deduct the Fee ($550.00 USD) from your grant but we could not secure authorization because your funds are protected by a PREMIUM HARDCOVER INSURANCE POLICY installed by the Federal Government to prevent any deductions from your funds until it must have been remitted by you. Hence, the fee cannot be deducted from your funds and you will be required to pay the fee via the western union money transfer network or money gram to the Escrow Officer at the Bank's headquarters.

To proceed with this transaction, you're expected to respond with a request for the receivers details of the ESCROW OFFICER to make payment if you intend to lay claim to this funds. You will also be required to e-mail him with your personal information:

The improvement between five years ago and this is scary, and not at all funny.

You're right Farstar. This one is well-written in English and has a good official feel to it. You'd still have to be crazy to send them $550 USD real dollars, but it is not funny.

"You'd still have to be crazy to send them … real dollars"

Per George Carlin's line about average people and stupidity, crazy is sadly not required.

This one would catch a lot of people who lack experience in critical thinking. I will not go into the reasons why its still obviously a scam, as I do not wish to provide detailed feedback to these people.

Given the widespread belief in "global cabals" and government shenanigans, how does this *not* work more often?
