I was thinking the same exact thing, Charley! It is funny, in a way, but the only way to stop these types of scams is to report them.

Note: You will be charged for money laundering and terrorist activities if you fail to obtain the Fund Ownership Certificate within 72 hours as instructed, therefore you have been advised to quickly get back to us immediately, so that we can direct you on how to obtain the above mention document from the funds originated country.

It is a scam! Don't get involved. They are out to take you for all you have. You should find out where to forward that e-mail to have them investigated.

If I suddenly disappear from this board, you know I have been arrested as a terrorist. LOL

I sure hope that there aren't anybody that would fall for that, but I guess I am being unrealistic to think that way too!

It is so sad that people do this to others....

Stop and think about this. Emails are free, they can send this to hundreds of thousands of people and it doesn't cost them a nickle. If even one out of 50 is naive or trusting enough to answer it, they're way ahead of the game. They should be reported.

I think the best thing to do would be to turn yourself in to the FBI immediately. Be sure to show them the email, so they know what it's all about. ;) ;-) ;)

(and, seriously, can act against the spammer)
