Nigerian Spam Referencing Nigerian Spam

I only like email spam when it is creatively subtle in cleverness– this one comes close.

In this sneaky approach, the email references victims of Nigerian spammers with a supposed offer to submit for reimbursement courtesy of the government of Nigeria and the United Nations. So if you were really moronic enough to fall for an email scam once, this one can zap you a second time? Oh my, if you read it on face value, it even sounds legitimate .. well, except for them offering to feed me more modalities. And they got that hoodlum!

Oh and sure, government officials would certainly be contacting you via a Gmail account. Yup.

Check out the real web site for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) — did they borrow that menacing bald eagle from the current administration? The mission alone is priceless:

The EFCC will curb the menace of the corruption that constitutes the cog in the wheel of progress; protect national and foreign investments in the country; imbue the spirit of hard work in the citizenry and discourage ill gotten wealth; identify illegally acquired wealth and confiscate it; build an upright workforce in both public and private sectors of the economy and; contribute to the global war against financial crimes.

I am trying to sort out how a menace is a “cog in the wheel of progress”??

PT Barnum is ROTFL.
