Actually I have been approached by a scammer on facebook [1]. He calls himself AGENT JAMES MIKE and asked me: „ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR $22,000,000.00 CASH BOX DELIVERED DEAR WINNER.........?“ New is that he didn't use an intermediary. But he used a fake ID, easy to see as he used part of the picture of US Congressman Mike Bost as seen on Wikipedia [2]. This picture had also been used posing as Agent Frank Royal [3].
Now I should pay $200 and then get $22,000,000.00. Which government would send $22,000,000.00 to a private person in a foreign country? And then this fee. This is to hook you to the scammer. There will be more fees because your parcel with the $22,000,000.00 is held back somewhere and someone has to be bribed. You guessed it right, you pay and get nothing.
I will take back my „friendship“ that was required. If you are approached by Agent James Mike ore any other agent be careful. Good information on Government Grat Scams is here: [4]. The whole conversation is below, me answers are green, his are red.
PS. Last night while watching the Perseids (meteor shower) I thought, how much would $22,000,000.00 weigh and could this "$22,000,000.00 CASH BOX" be "DELIVERED". I've just checked it [5]. US$22,000,000.00 weigh 220 kg (485 US pounds) and the volume is 2.2 m³ (77.7 ft³). Often these agents/scammers show parcels of FedEX or parcels being delivered [6]. This would be impossible as FedEX restricts parcels to 150 lbs (68kg).
