Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the release of your payment to you, but yet your payment was not released to you due to one flimsy excuses or the other from the Bank officials in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish interest.

bLOODY CHEEK..

[pilvikki]

manure on so many levels I can't even!

[tomsk]

you have to be really careful these days..

[yogi]

It certainly is cow poo poo, especially if you happen to know that the real Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not have a corporate office nor does it deal with personal/individual transactions. It's laughable when something like this is received, but 99.9% of us know to simply delete this kind of e-mail without further ado. It's always amazing how the remaining .1% is enough to make this scam profitable.

[tomsk]

yes, some people are so gullible..

[pilvikki]

this REALLY singed my tail feathers:

Meanwhile, after due scrutiny and verification, I confirmed that you have fulfilled all the necessary obligations that will enable the release of your payment to you, but yet your payment was not released to you due to one flimsy excuses or the other from the Bank officials in charge of your payment, because they had the intention of diverting your funds to their private accounts in order to satisfy their selfish interest.

yep, first i'm told I've fulfilled all obligations and then that 'those' Bank officials are thieves and then I need to fill in everything but my shoe size! so, what obligations did I fulfill previously; breathing and possession of an email address?
