Hands off - I know her well and she's all mine. She's the daughter of General Barrister Smith from Nigeria and she has a case full of Kuwaiti gold just waiting to clear customs for me in England(UK). All I need to do is make another small payment of $2000 (TWO THOUSAND US DOLLARS) and the gold is mine :)

Just had this pop up in my spam box...unusual as it doesn't mention mega millions of cash...just that he 'knows the content of the box'...

STATUTORY ANOMALIES ON YOU RECEIVING YOUR APPROVED
FUND AS AND
INHERITANCE.
FROM: DELIVERY AGENT
Dr William Mike
Hello!!!
Firstly, I wish to introduce myself as a sympathizer of your situation. I
am the Comptroller of Fund Movement Terminal and Director of national
warehouse where abandoned fund/valuables consignments are dumped.
This is to inform you that fresh arrangement was made by me to conclude the shipment of your consignment of funds to your country. I choose to do it and make sure it has left the shores of Nigeria already before contacting you. I found out that this consignment has been lying here because of lack of contact and none payment of delivery cost This is why I decided to use my connections as the Delivery/Shipment officer in charge of the National Security warehouse. (This is where all the abandoned consignments in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government of Nigeria for seizure or destruction.
Therefore, this letter is highly confidential and top secret. For this reason,you must not inform anybody about this letter or my contact with
you. You must keep my relationship with you to be topped secret and highly confidential because as I have arranged your consignment to the Diplomatic
Security Company in Nigeria where the delivery will come from to your house, so no one must know so that the fund will not raise an eye brow.
CONDITIONS OF THIS DELIVERY
1. You must keep my relationship with you highly secret/confidential.
2. You must not expose all the above information to anybody.
3. You must be willing to act fast on any information, directives and
advice from me and the Diplomatic Security Company in Nigeria.
Note: I know the content of the Box because I could see the amount you are being owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria as an inheritance. This is why I decided to get involved. You must also know that this arrangement do not concern all the people that you have had contact with in Nigeria before today as this consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the Government, Hence my involvement.
As soon as I receive your response, I will give you more details on the way of such arrangements and I will also give you the full contact information of the Diplomatic Security Company in Nigeria as soon as you have contacted me.
Therefore, further details will be furnished to you as soon as I receive your reply.
Yours Sincerely
Dr William Mike
Director Of National Warehouse

A new one using Steve Mnuchin's name....(originating from Russia??)

Dear Respected,

I am Mr. Steven Mnuchin new secretary of the treasury Department United States Of America my identity card attached for confirmation of office. I write of a very important update as regards your unsettled $1.5million and not some inflated amount this impersonator has been informing you about.

At the recently concluded meeting with the World Bank and the United Nations, an agreement was reached between both parties for us to settle all outstanding payments accrued to individuals/corporations with respect to local and overseas contract payment, debt re-scheduling and outstanding compensation payment. Fortunately, you have been selected alongside a few other beneficiaries to receive your own payment of $1.5million (One Million five hundred thousand United States Dollars only).

We have been notified that you are yet to receive your fund valued at $1.5million This money will now be transferred to your nominated bank account that is of the confirmation is true that you are yet to receive your funds.

Feel Free to contact me with below details: ......................@......
Looking forward to hearing from you and God Bless America.
Secretary Steven Mnuchin
Treasury Department USA.

HMRC "Tax rebate" email came in today - will "they" never learn (the "real" HMRC gave me mine a couple of months ago :) ).

And there was the phone call from a lady at the local Santander branch offering "assistance" with my financial affairs" today as well (just like the Lloyds call a couple of months ago!). "Polite" "no thank you" was what she (they) got.
