So they're pulling a 419 scam using the cover of protecting you against 419 scams. I love it! :rofl:
I'd have to say the best line is "...this is 100% Fraud free because it is our right to protect the American Citizens and world at large." - like that doesn't get us in enough trouble. ^_^

Surely no-one with an IQ over 5 could actually fall for that....

And yet, people do anyway, and not even "stupid" people. Sad, but still funny.

Wow. "We have contacted the Federal Ministry of Finance blah blah blah..." The US doesn't *have* a Federal Ministry of Finance. You should write them back and ask if they mean the Treasury Department.

I'd say forward it to [email protected].
