A very good and simple one I just got.

Subject: DHL Tracking number #00MM364176AHU9H
Hello!

We were not able to deliver postal package you sent on the 14th of March in time because the recipient’s address is not correct.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.

Your personal manager: Stephanie Milton,
Customer Service: 1-800-CALL-DHL
Fax: 888-221-6211
DHL International, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.


Of course, I've never shipped anything via DHL.

Attached was Infostealer.Banker.C packaged in a ZIP file. Thankfully Gmail scans those ahead of time, though somehow the message itself got through their spam filter.

Does Australia tax this kind of largess? How much? And who pays it, the estate or the recipient? I'll bet it's more than 5%.

At least she did not state that what bothered her most was her stroke. That script was getting really old.

I just got one that's an exact copy of yours, except it includes a .exe attachment instead of a .zip attachment. Maybe they figure we're getting stupider as time goes on?

Here's one I just got from an ad I have posted on Craigslist:
Hi am <full name, censored> and am interested in purchasing this for my cousin whose birthday is on tuesday so please if you still have this kindly get back to me with your paypal i.d so i can forward the money right away plus the shipping fee and am offering you $500.please get back asap
Thanks <name>


It seems like he was using his cousin's supposed birthday to make me feel like I should sell it to him, despite the idea of PayPal and shipping it.

$500 is exactly double what I was offering on Craigslist. There's no way what I'm selling is worth $500; somebody could walk into a retail store and get all of it brand new for less than that.

I don't see there's anything wrong with PayPal. PayPal is considered a safe online payment method. As long as you can get $500 first (before shipping out anything), you shouldn't be worried.

--
Good Day,


I am Mr. Vincent Cheng Hoi Chuen, GBS, JP Chairman of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.


Our client BRIGADIER AMER ALI NAYEF, a businessman and also who was with
the Iraqi forces, made a fixed deposit, of Twenty Two million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch, a number of notices was
sent to him, before the war which began in 2003 and also after the war
but, no response came from him. We later found out that Brigadier Amer Ali
Nayef was shot dead along with his son, Khalid Amer also in the force as
they left the family home for work in the south of the city.


After more inquiry it was also discovered that the late Brigadier, did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of
his bank deposit. What bothers me most is according to the laws of my
country at the expiration of 7 years the funds will be reverted to the
ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody comes for the funds,
Against this scenery, I have all the information needed to claim these
funds and I want you to act as the beneficiary of the deposit, there is no
risk involved in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legitimate method
and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.


All I require is your honest co-operation and I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please accept my apologies, keep my confidence and
disregard this email if you do not appreciate this proposition I have
offered you.


All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to
you prior to your acceptance and as soon as I receive your return mail Via
my email address: choi_chu101@yahoo.co.jp and I will let you know what is
required of you.


Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.


Best Regards,
Mr. Vincent Cheng

Thanks for sharing beanboy89.

I did not notice that they have shifted the country. Somehow, they forgot to mention your exact share.
