419 Phunnies

Daniel Koko contacted me today to let me know I can collect some funds by contacting his secretary, Nelson Mbongo. I don't think it will be worth my time, because the amount isn't very enticing:

I WANT YOU TO CONTACT MY SECRETARY ON THE INFORMATION BELOW AND RECEIVE YOUR COMPENSATION OF $1.5 US DOLLARS FROM HIM

In case I didn't read that right the first time, he reiterates it later in the message:

ASK HIM TO SEND YOU THE TOTAL SUM OF$1.5 US DOLLARS CASHIER'S CHEQUE,WHICH I KEPT FOR YOU.

Hey, dudes, a buck-and-a-half won't buy me enough gas to get to the filling station.

Another 419 missive today continued with the "M-whatever" theme. The sender called herself Mrs. Wilf Mbang. I know what a milf is, and "bang" has something to do with it. Maybe the "W" stands for "wife." But anyone responding to her offer to assist with exporting six million of her incarcerated hubby's dollars will be the one who gets screwed.
