Sorry I know I wasn't supposed to share

My Dear.

My name is Diana Williams. I am working as an accountant in the Ukraine Ministry of defense. There is this huge amount of money: $25,000,000.00 (Twenty five million United States dollars). I made from an over invoice for the purchasing of ammunition I deposit in a storage firm. In recent times, the Ukrainian and Russian governments have been having issues and as a result I will need your assistance to receive and secure the fund for me.

I’m interested in investing in any good profitable yielding business and I would appreciate any viable ideas you could come up with. I don’t know if you can be of help to me and trusted for this. I will give you more details once I receive your response. Please keep it to your-self even if you are not interested.

Regards,
Diana Williams

I‘d so love to respond to that with a burner email 😆

Reminds me of this James Veitch video which I’m sure many of you have seen…

What's the extension address, not that I would go to it.
Is it @irs.or*g?
Where as the "real" IRS would be irs.go*v.
Looking at it, it has a feel of an African writer this time round.
I would have of course worded it differently.

Given I am Aussie with no US tax file number - I was “slightly” suspicious of the message

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
I got two Optus ones today. One wanted me to read an attachment about "my case" - I don't think so.

The other was an example of fine grammar.

And don't you think ACMA might be a little overwhelmed and understaffed?

Good luck, anyway...

They will be, but they’ll be logging everything … organisation as recent as that will have search & data-mining algorithms such that if there’s any positive to them (proof or identifying the highest-volume problems) they’ll find relevant messages from within the millions.
 
Beloved One,

My name is Mrs. Elizabeth Patton, and I found your email address through an Internet search in an online e-mail database directory. We don't know each other, but my spirit led me to write you this email. I am a dying, sick woman, and I'm writing from my sick bed. I want to donate $2,400,000 United States dollars to you for charity work all over the world.

I am writing to you with heavy tears in my eyes and great sorrow in my heart because my doctor informed me that it will only take the will of God for me to survive due to my complicated health issues (cancer). Based on this, I want to transfer my late husband's inheritance fund of $2,400,000 United States dollars to a faithful and God-fearing person who will use it according to my and my late husband's wishes, as we have no child after so many years of marriage.

I want you to use the funds for charity causes, while 15% will be yours to keep as compensation for taking on this responsibility to help mankind. A lot of people are suffering right now in the world, and I want you to use this money to help as many people as possible. The expenses should be made to charities such as orphanages, homes for motherless babies' homes, poor widows, the disabled, humanitarian causes, and people who need money to revive the economy or business.

I will wait to hear from you to see if you can handle this task with honesty and in good faith.

Warm wishes.
Mrs. Elizabeth Patton

That's a lame tame amount, considering the millions on offer elsewhere.
This one has an African feel to it.
 
I understand we don't know each other yet but there
is a serious proposal i want to discuss with you.
Some people take a more simple direct approach when trying to provoke "inappropriate " wandering

Back at home now, was on the road earlier.
Thinking about it, $24,000,000 is 24 million.
But I think we have seen $500,000,000 on here in the past as well.
Not that I am going to bite the bait, mind you.

Grammar, grasshopper, grammar is what you need to get used to. ;)
 
Does anyone still get the Telstra tech dept calls, of course, its fake.
On a scale, I think that the scammers must move migrated onto the linkt scams, instead of the Telstra fake tech dept calls.
They must have discovered lint is more profitable.
