I love messing with these scumbags.  I send them back e-mails saying I've send them money via Western Union, and give them some random transaction number (I hope they actually have to go down to western untion to find out it's fake) They get so mad and sent me e-mails back saying I'm stupid for not taking advantage of this).  I tell them if they are having any issues to call me back and I give them the FBI's phone number.

Does anyone still fall for these?  They been around for like 15-20 years!

I just recieved the following email hoax:
This message confirms that on Monday, Jan 26, 2009 we received a Telegraphic Wire Transfer of $450,090.00 from the United States Government as your compensatory grant for the current economic hardship.

The funds have been deposited into an Escrow Account with Bank of America/Alabama Branch Office and your e-mail address was attached as reference. This funds has been confirmed to be legitimately yours and is available for remittance immediately.

The standard payment procedure is as follows:- The funds will be wired directly into any bank account of your choice by the Bank of America.

You will be expected to activate the Escrow Account by making a payment of $500.00 via the Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram to Enable the Wire Transfer function of the Account. The fee also covers all inherent litigation fees.

TAKE NOTE: The Escrow Account Activation Fee of $500.00 could not be deducted from $450,090.00 as your funds are protected by a "Federal Government Premium Hardcover Insurance Policy" installed to prevent any deductions from your funds.

This means that the Escrow Account Activation Fee cannot be deducted from your funds and hence must be provided by you before the funds can be wired out of the Escrow Account by the payment secretary.

CONTACT BANK OF AMERICA CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN ALABAMA TO RETRIEVE INFORMATION ON HOW TO PAY THE ESCROW ACCOUNT ACTIVATION FEE IMMEDIATELY:

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER:  Joe L. Price
BRANCH OFFICE: 241 Century Plaza, Birmingham, AL 35201

The remittance procedure can only be completed through Joe L. Price.

This notification is for informational purposes only.

Please do not reply to this message.

Sincerely,

Bank of America

I called the number gave my info and bank acct number and the Bank told me they will transfer the $$ right away!!

Can't Wait to be rich!!

Received email stating that wire transfer was received at Birmingham AL office of BOA for 450,090 as government grant for economic downturn, funds put in escrow account - catch was I need to send 450.00 via wire transfer to activate escrow account where funds are located.  Reply email is gmail account.  

Forwarded to abuse@bankofamerica.com so they will be aware of the scam.

I got the same e-mail as above (The October 08, FBI/Anti-Terrorist and International Fraud Division). Reverse phone number look up seems to have this as a mobile number, or maybe personal and unlisted?  It's definately from the Seatle, Washington area...  But definately not a gov. phone or business.  I looked on Google, and found a bunch of numbers from this area that seem to be running the same con.  What kinda bothers me is that I only live about a block from a Bank of America also.  Hopefully it's just a coincidence, but mkr's note above got my attention.  One of the places I found more info on others that were looking for more info on this scam at:  http://800notes.com/Area-Code.aspx/1-206

Good luck to everyone with the good sense to look into these things WITHOUT hanging their butts out on the line and Bless those who just don't know a scam when they see one...  Looks like they are going to need it!
