The UN finally gets in touch with me — 11 Comments

  1. This does raise the question:

    Who would you trust more?

    a) Nigerian internet scamsters

    or

    b.)The United Nations

  2. LOL!!! Barely. Perhaps the UN should move its offices to Lagos.

    (My apologies to any Nigerians out there.)

  3. While the e-mail talks of “United Nations,” the key is the return e-mail given. I have received Nigerian-type spam purporting to be from the FBI ( Federal Bureau of Investigation) but the e-mail return is some generic g-mail or hotmail address: definitely not the FBI.

    Check the e-mail return if you haven’t deleted the spam yet, Neo. I would bet you dollars to donuts that the return e-mail has nothing to do with the UN.

  4. Gingo—thanks. I already know that trick, though. The email, of course, is never from where it purports to be.

  5. Are you required to forward $250.00, to cover DHL Diplomatic Courier charges on shipping the money to you?

    Unfortunately, not being able to spare such probably kept me from receiving $1,000,000.00, which sure would come in handy about now.

    C’est la vie … 🙁

  6. Funny, people are smart enough to recognize and ignore the Nigerian scammers, but are foolish enough to elect the Kenyan scammer, whose offer is no less far-fetched and ridiculous.

    There never has been a good time to be ignorant, but now is a particularly bad time and it’s only going to get worse.

  7. Occam’s Beard: Of course not! You just be sure to send me your social security number and the number and expiration date of one of your credit cards, and I’ll be sure to remember you when I come into my UN largesse.
