The Stupidity Factor

Today, I received this e-mail

William G Emad

                                                Re: Your Abandoned 
Package For Delivery

I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your 
trust before I review it to you because it may cause me my job,so I need 
somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.

I am Mr. William G Emad, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities 
(Operations,Maintenance,Transportation) here at the McCarran 
International Airport USA. During my recent withheld package routine 
check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment 
from a Diplomat from Africa and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed 
sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 110kg. The 
consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was 
not properly declared by the consignee as “MONEY” rather it was declared 
as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the 
diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is 
$3,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage 
House here at the McCarran International air port Nevada till date. The 
details of the consignment including your name, your email address and 
the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are 
tagged on!!
the Trunk box.

However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this 
consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will 
advise you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable 
me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official 
documents including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please 
note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the 
United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the 
delays in concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I 
will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. 
So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise 
you send the required details to my private email address for quick 
processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of 
the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your 
acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.

Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to 
contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I 
want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 
30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United 
States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so 
immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the 
United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the 
box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to 
avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.

I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will 
appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me 
via my private Email ( williamgemad@gmail.com )for further directives:

You can call me on my telephone number and drop a message at +1 
662-594-2166

Best Regards


William G Emad.

I responded with:

"ha ha...you're joking, right?  I am not stupid."

First of all, there are at least 3 different grammatical errors in the first paragraph alone. "Cause me my job." Hmm...I think you mean cost.  "Review my secret to you" Um...I think you mean reveal?   Once was bad enough but to write it twice!  Ugh! 

Second, as per the email, "I must have your trust before I review it because it may cause me my job." And then proceeds to reveal the "secret"anyway.  For realsies?  I would NOT be someone who could be trusted with this info.  Seriously, I would call McCarren International Airport this very minute and tell them about their dishonest employee, Mr. William Emad...but I would just be wasting my time because no such person exists.  

Third,  Africa?  Enough said!  

Fourth, the address AND the zip code are wrong.  The airport is actually on Wayne Newton Blvd.  98119,  I would advise a simple google search if you are planning on running a scam...it would help to get the simple, vital information correct.

Fifth, personal e-mail?  Ha ha!  I think not!   

Sixth, um...supposedly, according to the contents of the email, my name was on the package.  Why then, did you not address me by name at the beginning of the email?  


And last, even if  (and that is a big if, especially with the personal e-mail and all) the whole business was above board, it sounds highly illegal.  Hiding money from the US Government? Oh yes..please...sign me up!!!!!   NOT.
