    I received this hilarious notice/scam as part of a new Nigerian plot to bankrupt the citizenry of the world. This time, though, they only want $70

    It's a bit lengthy/elaborate, so I'll put it in a spoiler and just keep the interesting parts highlighted.

    So hand over the money Lebowski

    Macky, it's been known that your connected with the criminal activities and are a threat to the society, no matter whom you blame it upon, Nigerians or Somalians and what made-up story you come up with, I won't believe you and neither will the FBI.

    It seems I've been duped out of $70...

    It looked to be as much Constitutional as anything else in the Patriot Act. One can never bee too sure these daze.

    Yeah, the trick to spotting this one was that none are believable fbi names. Mueller the 3rd? Sure buddy.

    EDIT- Had the post not included the address as Nigeria, I was getting the feeling it was a Russian scam (based on the writing).

    Economics Teacher: Mueller? Mueller? Mueller?
    Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Robert pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
    Economics Teacher: Thank you, Simone.
    Simone: No problem whatsoever.

    Notwithstanding the appalling grammar and idioms that appears to straddle three continents who the feck would believe that the FBI would write a letter demanding money? FFS! they would just come round and waterboard you.
