If the real agent Mueller wants to chat with me, I'm sure he knows how to find me more directly than via this mass email that looks like a "Nigerian scam".

BANK OF NIGERIA TRANSFERRED 10,500,000.00 US DOLLARS TO BANK OF AMERICA IN YOUR FAVOR AS THE BENEFICIARY BY INHERITANCE MEANS. BANK OF NIGERIA USED WHAT WE CALL “SECRET DIPLOMATIC TRANSIT PAYMENT” S.D.T.P METHOD TO PAY THIS FUND BY WIRE TRANSFER. SECRET DIPLOMATIC PAYMENTS ARE NOT MADE UNLESS THE FUNDS ARE RELATED TO TERRORIST ACTIVITIES.

THE QUESTION I ASK YOU IS THIS, WHY MUST YOUR PAYMENT BE MADE IN A SECRET TRANSFER, IF THE TRANSACTION IS LEGITIMATE, IF YOU ARE NOT A TERRORIST, THEN WHY DID YOU NOT RECEIVE THE MONEY DIRECTLY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT? WHY DID YOU INSTRUCT THEM TO USE A CODED MEANS TO TRANSFER YOUR FUND? FUNDS LIKE THIS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RELATED TO TERRORIST ACTIVITIES/MONEY LAUNDERING, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO GET INTO TROUBLE AS SOON AS THESE FUNDS ARE CREDITED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE INNOCENT, WHICH IS MY PRESUMPTION FOR NOW, BUT YOU NEED TO PROOF THIS TO THE FBI.

F.B.I STOPPED THE TRANSFER OF $10,500,000.00 USD THROUGH A SECRET DIPLOMATIC TRANSIT ACCOUNT (S.D.T.A) THAT WAS USED TO WIRE THIS FUND TO YOU. WE ADVICE YOU TO CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY, AS YOUR FUNDS ARE STOPPED AND HELD IN OUR CUSTODY, YOU ARE TO PROVIDE US WITH THE DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY SEAL OF TRANSFER (DIST) DOCUMENT THAT ACCOMPANIED YOU’RE FUNDS WITHIN THE NEXT 3 DAYS.

TO PROOF TO US THAT THE FUNDS YOU ARE RECEIVING FROM NIGERIA IS TERRORIST/DRUG FREE AND NOT PROCEEDS FROM MONEY LAUNDERING. FAILURE TO PRODUCE THE DIST DOCUMENT, WE SHALL IMPOUND THE TRANSFER AND PROSECUTE YOU FOR CRIMINAL OFFENSE, BUT ON THE CONTRARY YOUR FUNDS WILL BE RELEASED TO IMMEDIATELY WE RECEIVE THE DIST DOCUMENT. WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY BY EMAIL BECAUSE OF TIME AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER HERE ISN’T GOING THROUGH, ACQUIRE THE DIST DOCUMENT AS PROOF THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHTFUL BENEFICIARY,

THE DIST IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE DIST DOCUMENT GUARANTEES YOU OF THE FOLLOWING

60T YOUR CREDIT PAYMENT IS IRREVOCABLE

61H YOU ARE EMPOWERED TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS WITHOUT FURTHER SCRUTINY

62J YOUR BANK CAN EITHER BE IN USA/UK/OUTSIDE OR ANYWHERE YOU ARE HAVING FULL RESIDENCY

I received the email below from someone I don't know who apparently works a diplomatic pouch screening detail for the UN at Gatwick Airport outside London. Of course, the whole idea of 'diplomatic pouch' transport is that the contents aren't screened. But that's not a plot-hole in this criminal enterprise because the cargo was "a 12months abandoned shipment" this officer took the personal initiative to open. Would you believe it contained money that he was offering to send me?

Subject: Greetings 

Dear Friend,

I am Fred Wesson. Chief Inspection Officer, United Nations Diplomatic Cargo Inspection Facility at Gatwick International Airport London United Kingdom . During my inspection, I discovered a 12months abandoned shipment in our Cargo facility here. Having being abandoned for so long, I decided to scan the shipment to examine its content. The scanned revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 180kg. I believe the consignment was abandoned because the content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or any body. Further investigation I made revealed that the shipment originated from one of the corrupt President of a country. He chose to send the money out of his country this way because the money must have been looted from his country’s treasury.

On my assumption and estimation, the box contains about Four or Five million American money in One Hundred dollar bills neatly packed and sealed in the Metal Trunk Box as revealed by the high resolution scan I conducted. The details of the consignment including name and the official document from United Nation office are still tagged on the Metal Trunk Box. Neither I nor anyone can unilaterally move this luggage from here without having any person who will stand as the recipient. Since the original recipient have a similar name with you, I intend to raise a new shipment document using the particulars on the luggage to redirect the luggage to you as the original recipient.

I want us to execute this deal and share the money, since I have established the source. If you accept to work with me, I will arrange for the Box to be moved out of this Airport to your address. I intend to deploy the services of a secured shipping company to provide the security it requires to your doorstep delivery. We will share the money 60 percent to me and 40 percent to you. I made a lot of search looking for a person that has a similar name to the name tagged on the consignment before I finally got you.

Please provide your Phone number, Full address, Name of the nearest Airport around you and other details I may need for this project because I can get everything concluded within 14 days upon your acceptance and provision of your address for delivery. Below are my email and direct phone contacts. I wait to hear from you.

Fred Wesson
CHIEF INSPECTION OFFICER
United Nations Diplomatic Cargo Inspection Facility
Gatwick International Airport, London United Kingdom.

No good deed goes un-punished, so here-with is my reply:

Fred,

Thanks for you note. While the offer sounds exciting, I have some reservations.

I imagine to attain the job of “Chief Inspection Officer” of a diplomatic facility run by the UN, you would have to exhibit a pretty high level of integrity, ethics, and following-all-the-rules. Your proposal, however, doesn’t. I suspect that if the box contains the money you believe it does, the appropriate course of action would be to escalate the matter to your superiors and attempt to repatriate the money to the country who’s citizens it likely and rightfully belongs.

Soliciting support for your scheme from strangers via email sounds like one of those Nigerian scams I’ve seen on TV. I imagine that’s not something an officer of a UN facility such as yourself would wish to be mistaken for.

All the best in resolving this matter by-the-book, and please don’t contact me again.
