419 Hit Squad

I haven’t received one of these yet, but according to an article in The Register, the 419 scams perpetrated by the Nigerians aren’t netting as many suckers as they once did, so the scammers are promising death instead of easy millions. All you’ve got to do to spare yourself is send them $40K.

secretary_in_chargeeeee??? International Assasinators and World Security Organisations?!? With branches in 102 countries? I wonder if they’re selling franchises.

This would be funnier if I knew that nobody would fall for it.

Do they really have branch offices, or do you suppose they just operate as a branch service of some place like Western Union:

...

Please Check ONLY ONE: _ Wire these funds to the foreign recipient, named above.

_ Place these funds as a dead-or-alive bounty on the foreign recipient.

Note: DO NOT CHECK THE WRONG BOX! Western Union will not be held responsible for accidental assassinations.

Also, I wonder if "Assassinator" is like a tradesman assassin, or if "Assassinator" is like an assassin PhD equivalent. Should I be more concerned if Assassinators are after me, or if assassins are on my trail. The Secretary should clarify.

"you will be SNIPPED..."

Disturbing at best.

My wife said no more kids, so I got snipped three weeks ago. Does that mean I'm immune from the hit squad?

Maybe your doctor was part of it. Did you check for his diploma?

Boy, if our president would just cough up forty grand, we'd have global terrorism licked for good.
