Believe it or not, but $3.000 is the precise amount I need to release our family fortune from Nigeria, my father was a Prince and well connected politically. Since his umtiley death in 1997, his fortune has been seized and has charges to release it. In 1997 it was valued at $300m and currently in excess of $1bn, I can personally guarantee you a 10% share of this. All I need is a bank transfer or Western Union transfer for $3.000 and you will be wealthy beyond your dreams.
You have been chosed to assist in this matter as you are an honourable person.
Thanking you in advice.
Prince DS.

Western Union must be involved in more money laundering than bed linen washing at the local laundrette lol

Their name always seems to be associated with dodgy dealings, maybe because they ask no questions as to where the money is coming from, or going to.
Seems once it's gone... it's gone without a trace.

I have mentioned this before, but pre emails and internet, we had "Reader's Digest prize draw" every month I seemed to win £30,000 or more.

Or if you read the very small print, it could be a £5 voucher off a £2,000 holiday.
I never applied to find out which it was.

I recall the catalogues ( I think it may have been Littlewoods) use to send out envelopes with a prize draw were you could win anything from £1.00 to £30,000 ( I think).
If you entered you'd be sent a cheque. I only ever won £1.00's, but I used to cash the cheques
I'd pay them into my ISA when I had some cash to deposit. I received quite a few over the years
