I just received an important email from a World Health Organization doctor, saying he knew where the Covid vaccine is being stored, and he could arrange for me to receive a dose via DHL overnight shipping.

So I guess the Nigerian ex-Ministers of Finance have moved on to new territory.

DONT YOU BELIEVE IT!!!

Hospital have ordered their suggested allotment of vaccines in the NYC Metropolitan area on Tuesday. Delivery is slated for Friday. By Monday distribution to patients will begin. As in a previous thread, I mentioned that the vaccine will arrive but it’s distribution and eventual administration must be by a physician.

I liked it a lot better when I knew a Nigerian ex-minister was going to send me millions of dollars and all I had to do was provide my bank account, date of birth, and social security number.....what could possibly go wrong?
Amazing the scams folks think up. Thanks for sharing this is a new one for me.

The "Doctor" fails to realize shipping it, as it has to be kept at sub zero temperatures. Their scam is not well thought out.

I got an email offering a home test for covid, results instantly. It was a blood test. Put a drop in the tester and it would tell you if you've got it or not.
The email was from China.

I can’t wait for the test in the mail to make sure your dog or cat or Koi in your front yard are infected by Covid-19. They mail you a box with a Syringe inside to obtain a blood sample from your beloved pet. You mail the blood sample to the planet Klingon and then two days later you will know if your pets are infected. Anyone can create a scam for money
It is enough that we are hip deep in sheep dip. As the circumstances seem to get dire, scam artists will come out from under their rocks. Be especially leery when buying food
because expired food cannot be returned as it once was. I am also waiting for someone to say that Christmas will be extended by paying an additional ten dollars from everyone.
Please ask your doctor when told to do something during this pandemic. You will quickly learn how much hogwash is flying around intended to scam anxious people.

They’re probably looking for you to donate some of the $20 million dollars in gold that you received from the Nigerian royal family.😊

I recently heard of a new, free home COVID test. Simply pass gas. If your significant other complains then, obviously, she/he still has their sense of smell and do not have COVID.

This test can be used in any number of social settings and may indeed help to encourage social distancing.

They must find a few suckers every day. Else, why have they been sending such spam since before the Internet?

There is an investigating reporter program on the cable channels now called "Scams". On a recent episode I was surprised to learn that Jamaica was one of the largest countries for Lottery scammers and Israel was the largest country for financial scammers....huge money is lost to those fake investment companies and they estimated that there are over 1,000 fake investment firms that make no investments whatsoever located in Israel that bilk investors worldwide.

At least we can get a chuckle at the Nigerian former Minister of Finance looking for help to get money out of the country.
