I almost just deleted this without reading it (habit) and decided I would skim through for fun. I was just wondering if the FBI address could be used for this. Or maybe the local Police Station. Just a thought.
I did notice this one spells better than most of them. Surprised

CONGRATULATIONS

Good day, how are you today?
I am writing to inform you that I have paid the fee for your Draft. And I went to the bank to confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expiration and Mr. Herbert Collins, the Director of the Bank told me that the draft will expire before it gets to you.

So I told him to cash the $650,000.00 USD to cash payment to avoid losing these funds. However, all the necessary arrangement of delivering the $650,000.00 UNITED STATES DOLLARS in cash was made with GLOBAL MAX COURIER COMPANY here in Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Mr. Herbert Collins, the Director of the Bank here had to package the sum of $650,000.00 USD in cash for me. Then he also agreed to help me to register the Consignment with GLOBAL MAX COURIER COMPANY. In fact I thank God very much for all the effort made, every thing went well.
As for our agreement with the Global Max Courier Company they promised that your consignment will leave this Country by next week, But the Director of the GLOBAL MAX COURIER COMPANY said that they need your contact information to enable them meet up with you immediately the Diplomat Agent arrived to your Country. Please write a letter of application to the given address below.
ATTN: Mr. David Godson
EMAIL: [email protected]
Please, Send them your contacts information to enable them locate you immediately they arrived in your country with your consignment. This is what they need from you.

1. YOUR FULL NAME
2. YOUR HOME ADDRESS.
3. YOUR CURRENT HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER.
4. YOUR CURRENT OFFICE TELEPHONE.
5. A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE

Note: The Global Max Courier Company doesn�t know the contents of the Box. It was registered as a BOX containing photographic Materials. They don't know it contains money. This is to avoid them delaying with the consignment. Don�t let them know that is money that is in that Box.

I am waiting for your urgent response. You can even call the Director of Global Max Courier company with this line: 234-1- 7603543 for quick delivery of the box to your address.

Thanks and Remain Blessed.

Yours sister,
Ms. Florence Giwa.

Sure they can, as long as you get their permission. Unless you do, Eater has a strict policy against putting 3rd parties into a bait unknowingly (it's in the stickies Wink

). That being said, you could always create some fake information and bait them.

I may have to have some fun with this! Very Happy

Apart from not wanting to involve innocent third parties we don't want to waste the time of Law Enforcement. There are times we need to involve them, and there are some links that'll be strained if they view us as pranksters wasting their time. Pranking scammers is fine. Very Happy

Cindi - Create a fictional town in the great State of North Virginia (the town will be Mayberry, seat of Griffith County). Your home is on Opie Avenue in Mayberry.

You get the idea?

They will never check.

Welcome to the Eater. Get posting!

Aah. The perennial address question. Have you read the stickies? If not, it is worth investing some of your time in doing so.

As for your address, the lads don't give a damn. For example try this on the next lad that requests it and see if he bats an eyelid...

No. 914 Moonbase Alpha Apartments,
The Sea of Tranquility,
Acacia Avenue,
Rye slip,
Berkshire,
Texas
Canada 90210

You get my drift?

Someone said they lived on the moon once Very Happy

<br>In answer to your question...no. No third parties...ever. Not even the Feds.
