I've won the US Lottery

This is perfect. Ask them if they can send you an self-addressed stamped envelope. You feel more secure about the the $500 that way.

I actually got the exact same email yesterday. And another a few months ago. I called the FBI and forwarded the email to an actual agent. lol

I had a look at the FBI website but I didn't think it was worth filling out the form as I don't live in the USA.

Good on you though.

I sent this a couple of minutes ago.

Hi David

Many thanks for your email.

David, please can I ask a question. What is an FBI guarantee letter and can you send me a copy of one please, just for my peace of mind.

It's just that I don't want anything to go wrong when I pay the cheque into my bank account as it is such a large sum of money.

I'm so excited and thankful to God what with my fathers money and now this, all in the matter of a few weeks. Please excuse my ramblings but my head is spinning at the moment. I just cant believe my luck.

I hope you don't mind me asking, David, but are you a real FBI agent? I ask this question because I love anything to do with law enforcement.

My old Grandaddy worked for the Black and Tans, in the Public Relations Dept.

My favourite film of all time is about the FBI. It's called Brokeback Mountain, have you seen it?

Anyway sorry again for all my ramblings.

I'll send the money after I hear back from you.

Warmest regards

Mike

Test Question: Trust?
Answer: God

That's my favorite part. Why not put the fear of god into these rubes while we're at it?

You should tell him that you are waiting to send the $500 because the prince of Nigeria emailed me today and needs your help and he is prepared to release 4,000,000 US dollars and all you had to send him was $3000, but you figured we have time because you have a year to claim the lottery and the check should be coming next week. Talk about good things coming in 3's!

These advance fee scams usually follow this sort of pattern.

I send the money ($500 is not really that much, when you think about it)

The scammer will then contact me, thanking me, but informing me that they've run into some kind problem. And guess what it involves another fee?

And so it goes on.

I've got my own little plan to scam some money out of the scammer.

He/Shes does not appear the sharpest tool in the shed. I've already indicated I would be prepared to pay more for the cashiers check in GBP and the scammer didn't take me up on it.
