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.


CONTACT OUR PAYMENT OFFICE,
FOREIGN OPERATION MANAGER---Mr TONY & PAUL
E-mail;sgg.westernuntransfer123@gmail.com
STOP DELAYING THIS FUND HERE.


Send this needed fee $50.00 now through WESTERN UNION OFFICE,MONEY
GRAM OFFICE or Ria Office,Steam wallet, if you no go OFFICE with the
informations below



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?

I wish they would learn proper English before sending this stuff although the English they do use is entertaining.

As that late great philosopher, Yogi Berra, once opined, “The future ain’t what it used to be.”

Tell him to take the $50 fee from the first $10,000 payment. That should work.

I'm still waiting. I sent in $50 for me, $50 for my wife, $50 each for my 2 kids, and $50 for my friend Alan. Maybe I gave them a bad return address. I'll try sending it all again. I mean, it's worth the risk - right????

If you haven't watched this guy...you should... it's a hoot and a half.
He scams the scammers by their own greed and lack of security on their end...he's that good.

I will be happy to pay the full $500.00 however I am on a zero income situation so I will need you to loan me the money to do so.
Send me $500.00 as a loan and I will pay the fees and as soon as I get the first payment I will repay you the loan as well we will both profit this way.
I've yet to hear back from him.
