Here’s a new 419 scam!
New spin on an old fraud:
Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Etters from Iceland, married to Late Engr Brown Etters {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the 22th August 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death, he deposited the sum of USD 2,142,728.00 Dollars with a bank In Canada and this fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money. I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. I don’t think i will need any telephone communication in this regard because of the confidentiality of this transfer.Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. Reply to my very confidential email address below {lizzy.etters@live.com} as I am sending this from a friend’s email.
Await your responds and God bless you.
Mrs. Elizabeth Etters

Waddya think, should I take the money? She is a “dear friend,” after all.

Yeah – take the money! I just got a lovely Facebook friend request from a John Roland with this message: John says, “Hello, how are you doing and how is weather there, i just say i tell you that as a deaf am happy so so much when we get brand new laptop and money 18,000 dollars cash from what the New president Obama give to many deaf from US and Canada with Australia, Obama is a good president that like many people like us and i happy so much .The good news is that you will get money too because i see your email address is on the list for the deaf that will get money and i really happy so so much for you too that you will get money and brand new laptop wow smile and just email to this deaf990suport@rocketmail.com and say Gooday Sir i want my brand new laptop and money too and they will reply you back and tell you how you will get you own money too.

Well, I was wondering where you got the money to run for office:

(sorry, too lazy to format that properly)
Shainz: yup, me too 😉
Lucie, I didn’t know you were deaf!
Kira: yeah, I suspect Bjork’s behind this one.
Chris: Oh, thanks for stealing the thunder on tonight’s post, which I was going to entitle, “I’m not THAT Doug Hoffman.” 🙂
Oops! Sorry about that!
I think we should send it the Nigerian Prince one, then the two can sort each other out. Simples 🙂
Of course my favorite part, “due to cancer problem.” Like what sort? Hmmm?
