Just received a long, rambling e-mail purporting to come from Western Union in Benin, far too long to reproduce here but part of it reads:

NOTE;ONCE THIS NEEDED FEE IS RECEIVED HERE AS I TOLD YOU,THIS FUND WILL BE
RELEASED FOR YOU TO START PICKING IT UP FROM ANY WESTERN UNION OFFICE NEAR
YOU SAME DAY, $10,000.00 THREE(3)TIMES PER WEEK TILL YOU RECEIVE THE TOTAL
FUND OF $45,000,000.00

Payment only by Cash.

My dear, bear in mind that he who looks into the future with the eyes
of fear,will see nothing but failure. What you hear determines how you
think, how youthink determines how you behave and how you behave
determines what you become.
Our future is too good to be ignored.

I wonder if the sender of this total crap had ever worked out how long it would take to withdraw $45,000,000 at a rate of $30,000 per week?

And the problem is that some limp brains will send money.

This one is a change since the old African women who had inherited millions and wanted share her good fortune

So, you’re not taking him up on it? $30,000 a week seems pretty good even if you’re not around to collect the whole $45,000,000😳

Of COURSE I'm taking him up on it, especially after he wrote:

AND, If people are stupid enough to fall for this, they certainly aren't going to do any math to realize that it would take 1,500 weeks to collect all the "funds". They'll just see the $30,000 per week and 45 million total.

Two comments: How stupid do they think people are to fall for this? How stupid must the people be who fall for this?

If it didn't work, they wouldn't keep doing it. Just to play it safe, I might stop paying all my bills because they might all be scams.

What’s so bad with thirty grand a week even if you’re not around long enough to collect the whole thing😳
