Definitely fake because the amount of free money is too low. Everyone at the world banks understands that everyone on the planet should be a millionaire. When they do this for real we are looking at $2-3M each easy.

First two words:  'Fact shows' .

Fucking monkey's still can't spell or use proper english. (Whatever that was).

Atypical Nigerian scam.

Atypical? No, on the contrary, indeed very typical.

 

You were right, the monkeys can't use proper English.

Of course, the Nigerian's Obamacare websites work much better than that of the US Gov so maybe we can learn something here...

Well you know if it's real if the World Bank sends you a notice it levied your account 850,000 because you are 'wealthy' person with savings account.

I think this went to the wrong DL.  Free money offers like this were most likely meant to go to The Tribe™ DL..

If that was $850,000 Zimbabwe dollars I would be tempted to believe it...... oh wait, we are on our way there.

$850,000 USD 

why?

Because $900,000 would be too difficult to believe.

Just a tiny bit skeptical, but if they agree to pay me in 1950s-dated federal reserve bearer bonds in billion-dollar denominations, that's cool.

There is a game.  I forget the name of it.  Where people pretend to be naive and make the Nigerian dude think he has a sucker. 

 

You convince the scammer to do an unusual picture like put a fish on his head and an Apple in his mouth and send a pic to prove he is legitimate 

 

Really good people at this game can get the scammers to do awfully funny pics, then the pics get posted on the intertubes.

Search for "Scambaiting" or "scamming the scammers".

I understand they are perfectly acceptable collateral to the ECB.  In fact, they have a higher rating than Spanish and Greek sovereigns.

Now if this was really true, these emails would be going to banks themselves, and would read something like this:

Facts show that many in the world are still in deep poverty, but since you are a bankster, you already know this because you put them there.

We at the IMF and federal reserve want to help you continue "God's work", so we are offering you the sum of $850,000,000,000,000 interest free to use as you see fit.

They always manage to make some kind of mistake in the email.  Spammers need to learn to proof read better.  Double space in "of  One Hundred" and "mandate  to help".  The double period at the end isn't very professional either..

 

A legit email would not have those mistakes because educated people do proof reading before sending out an email to thousands of people.
