Believe it or not, we had an older gentleman bring a copy of this e-mail in to the bank the other day. He wanted our manager to help him claim his funds.
Yes, people are that stupid.
At least he asked for help without blindly sending his ssn and heaven knows what else.

Wonder if these fed guys got my coffee cup stashed somewhere. I've been looking all over the ceilings for it, but apparently, Mrs, Senior has sold me out to the caffine branch of FBI/Obama care. Wonder how much she got? Senior Sitzen
How do people fall for these? I feel sorry for them.
The letter I received came from an email address listed as fbi and they even threatened to arrest me if I didn't come forth. The Nigerians are such scam artists and I would guess lots of people have fallen to their scams or they wouldn't keep doing it.
Got the same email... I wish there were real net police who could take care of spam and fake emails. They are trying to just hurt people.
