This is the first email scam I have received that wants to send me an ATM card to retrieve my $15 million. Could you imagine going into your local 7-11 store and trying to withdraw $15 million from the ATM machine?
I was very impressed with the veiled threat Mr. Chung Chin gave me. He said he is warning me to stop further communications with any other persons or offices because I have been previously dealing with imposters? Duh and you Mr. Chin evidently are one of the good guys.
I like the fact that this scammer tells me he is from the Nigerian office of the Presidency. He must believe the saying “go big or go home”. It doesn’t get any bigger than the President. He says he is working with the FBI as well so I am pretty sure that everything he is telling me is on the up and up.
You can read my reply to him at the end of his email.

My Reply:
Mr. Chung Chin,
I am honored to receive correspondence from such a high official from the country of Nigeria. I must be blessed for the reason that I now know a person who works directly for the president and I recently met a Lt General Peter Lou from Nigeria. I don’t even know my local city council member but yet in the past week I have corresponded with two top dignitaries from Nigeria. What are the odds of this happening again?
You mentioned that I need to stop continuing with my illegal acts. I am curious to know how you found out I was recording the Denver Broncos games without expressed written consent from the NFL or the Broncos? Man, you guys are good.
You also warned me about talking to any other person or company about this transaction. However, I noticed that you stated you are working hand in hand with the FBI so I am assuming it is OK to speak with them. After all, the office of the presidency in Nigeria surly wouldn’t be doing anything that the FBI would be concerned with would they?
I always thought that Nigeria was a poor country. Boy was I wrong. It seems that every day someone dies there who has millions of dollars in his bank account but has no relatives to leave this money to. You would think these people would leave a trust fund for a worthy charity. This month is breast cancer awareness month so you might send out a notice to the next millionaire who is going to die to leave that worthy charity some of their money.
By the way, do you know LT General Peter Olu from Nigeria? He is helping me receive 4 million from one of your deceased millionaires. It’s amazing but I had no idea that you folks were already in bed with the FBI. I gave General Olu the phone number to our local FBI office. I am embarrassed for having done that since he evidently already has it. In my old age I get confused if I am collecting millions from too many people. To simplify things why don’t you contact General Olu and consolidate his $4 million with your $15 million and send it to me in one lump payment. His phone number is 234-7063710145. Lt. General Olu already has my personal information so I won’t need to repeat it for you.
I hope my illegal recordings of the Bronco games do not jeopardize my qualifications to receive all this wealth. I also will apologize in advance for
communicating this to other people and companies as I am planning on posting this on the web for the world to see. Feel free to read it at www.deweysblog.com.
