I have seen so many email scams in my inbox its pathetic. After reading most of them i cant understand how people fall for them. The latest one i recieved today is just to funny. These people cant even come up with good names to make it sound more convincing. Here is What i recieved today.....

OUTSTANDING PAYMENT NOTIFICATION


Good day


Your Long overdue Payment.

I saw your email ( in the Central Computer among the list of unpaid contractors, inheritance next of kin and lotto beneficiaries that was originated from Africa, Europe, Asia Plus Middle east, Americans ) among the list of individuals and companies that your unpaid fund has been located in the bank


Your email appeared among the beneficiaries, who will receive a part-payment of your contractual sum and has been approved already for months.You are requested to get back to me for more direction and instruction on how to receive your fund. However, we received an email from one Mr.Virgle Lee Samples who told us that he is your next of kinand that you died in a car accident last week. He has also submitted his account for us to transfer the fund to him including his International passport,we want to hear from you before we can make the transfer to confirm if you are dead or not.


Once again, I apologize to you on behalf Of IMF (International Monetary Fund) for failure to pay your funds in time, which according to records in the system had been long overdue.



Yours Sincerely,

Mr.Rodrigo De Rato.

There should be away to make these people pay up to all who they try to scam. Would love to hear Others take on this and share other scams they have recieved. The funny part of this scam and not just the names they use, Is the fact that they say my name was picked out of a database of e-mails and there is someone claiming i died in a car wreck and he is my next of kin They could atleast gave him my same last name. What idiots. I feel sorry for the people that are taken by these scams. Makes you wonder where peoples reasoning has gone. A little common sense will tell you this is bogus.
