I received this e-mail this morning. It is obviously a scam and I have reported it. Actually had a good chuckle reading so I thought you might enjoy. I have edited/disabled the links for safety reasons. ::) ::) ::)

We, office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hereby write to inform you that we caught a diplomatic lady called Mrs. Vernon Wallace at (John F Kennedy International Airport) here in New York with consignment box filed with united state dollars.
Meanwhile, base on our interview to the diplomat she said that the consignment box belongs to you, that she was sent to deliver the consignment box to your doorstep not knowing that the content of the box is money. The diplomat also said that her first transit in the state was at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport Ohio.
Now, the diplomat is under detention in our office (FBI) security, and we cannot release her until we carry out our proper investigation on how this huge amount of money managed to be yours before we will release her with the box. So, in this regards you are to reassure and prove to us that the money you are about to receive is legal by sending us the Award Ownership Certificate showing that the money is not illegal.

That has to be the funniest I have seen. Thanks for the smile. The sad part is some people fall for some of these.

I would have expected the director of the FBI to have a better command of the English language Russ. :D

Funny Russ,
I just checked my "junk" folder and I got the same message. We will have to get together to help each other spend our boxes of money.
-
I had the exact one in my junk folder too, I always like to read these and get a laugh, the crappy english is what is funny, most of these are typed that way, some are actually typed like that by foreigners not very good with the english, but still funny to read.

Darn I didn't get an e-mail like that, What is the matter Canadians not good enough? I think I deserve a box of money toooo! ;D ;D
-
I NEVER open anything in my junk mail unless I know exactly who it is so I can't say if I have ever received anything like that. Whoever started this one needs to go back to school to learn how to talk. Funny Russ. Thanks for giving us a heads up.

:D :D :D :D :D :D That was a good one.
