I received this email and thought it might be a good opportunity for somebody. Please contact Mr. Sikes immediately. It looks like a great prospect. I, unfortunately, do not cotton to those shady Middle Eastern business deals. Plus I don’t have a spare 7 thousand dollars or else I would so visit his spider hole in the deserts of Afghanistan.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Hello. My name is Jonah Mohammed Ali Sikes III.
Good day to you today American. I have big opportunity for you. If you loan me 7,000 American dollars, I will be able to retrieve my father’s millions from a secret bank account in Indiana USA. With your help, we can together be millionaires. Please give me your social security number, your credit card numbers, your original birth certificate, a valid email address, a copy of your driver’s license and a recent passport photo. Just think, we can be millionaires and live life of luxury. I currently live in Middle East, so it would be prudent for you to visit me in person and hand over the cash as soon as possible. Please email me at Mohammed_SikesIII@thisisascam.biz with your response to my quarry. Thanks you and goodly day.
Sincerely,
J. Mohammed Ali Sikes III
PS: You know you want this chance no pass you by!

Any takers? Email scams are stupid. However, I am sure there are some people who fall for them.
Oh yeah, I haven't heard from J.M.A.S. III, but I have heard from several of his relatives & associates. Isn't this real?!
