    I think it's even funnier that phishers are even faking e-mails (badly, obviously) from the UN now. That's the main reason I couldn't resist posting. I wonder if I ought to send a copy of this to the UN so they can laugh with us or send out the troops to round these theives up.

    Also what's funny, is they are paying you in starlings? Isn't that a kind of bird? (yes, I know it's a typo on their part, but still funny)

    Last time I bothered to respond to one of these I sent the address and email of the FBI in Chicago with a little message of how excited I was to receive my millions. :P

    And never regret anything that made you smile.
