if your email is a burner, just reply with:

Subject: N

Content: NIGGER

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts 2y

Paul M. Abbate

That's 100% Nigerian spam.

The name is an obvious giveaway.

called him street shitter

Pajeet scammers almost always use English names.

They didn't get the grammar quite right.

"you're to reply for direction on how to procure"

English is tough for street shitters.

Still more legitimate than the actual FBI.

I could tell it was fake when it started with an apology.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt 2y

Street shitters always give them selves up when they apologize.

"A thousand apologies" is a common phrase they use.

[–] • 2 pts 2y

Haha. I actually meant a 3 letter agency being apologetic for anything.

Yes, also 'Attention: beneficiary'

I would write back "Thank you for your concern Mr Abbate but $4 million is not enough to bother with all the paperwork. Please accept it as my gift to you for all your hard work."

Four parts to the con:

  • You will get a lot of money if you respond.

  • You are required to respond in 72 hours.

  • You will be prosecuted by the IRS if you refuse to respond.

  • You are prohibited by the FBI from contacting any bank or security agancy for advice.

It was a nice touch for the scammers not to ask for any money or payment in this e-mail. That's for later, when they get the sucker on the hook.
