Can't Remember Seeing This - Oh So Obvious - Scam Reported On Ab, So...

[Ken4155]

Just read an email sent to me by an Agent Andrew G McCabe of the FBI, no less, informing me that 2 consignment boxes were intercepted at JFK Airport, NY. A scan revealed the boxes to contain large sums of money, in total $4.1m and also back up documents bearing my name as the recipient of this money. The diplomat accompanying the boxes was questioned and he told the Feds that he was to deliver the boxes directly to me as an overdue payment owed to me by a foreign country.
The letter goes on to say that all legal documents in the box have been checked but that there is one very important document missing, so my consignment has been seized. Then it quotes certain US regulations and how many laws i may be breaking before informing me that unless i reply within 72 hours, i will be prosecuted in a court of law for money laundering.
As scams go, it's quite original, i suppose, but who on earth would fall for it? Still, it gave me a Monday morning chuckle:-)
