ATM Beneficiary Fun Scam From FBI/Nigeria

The email I also received below is a scam and very amazing. I'm sure others get these in their boxes as well.

If you have one that is particularly interesting, feel free to copy and paste it into comments, and I'll post it here for others to be aware of. Please let me know in the comments if you want your name used or not. You may feel free to leave off any relevant information about yourself contained in the email you receive as well and I'll copy and paste whatever you provide.

This email is interesting because all you have to do is put up $150 in good faith for just an amazing amount of money. Do people really fall for this type of scam?

All they need is some very valuable and cash inducing information about you to do that, well besides the $150 you must send to them.
