When scammers offer you money for effectively nothing, they usually take the trouble to give at least some flimsy excuse as to why they propose to give you the money.

This latest scammer cannot be bothered with that.

Mr Lalit Michael says they have decided to send my money through Western Union at $6,000 per day until the total of $3.7 million has been delivered.

Why does he want to send me money?

Why only $6,000 per day?

Why through Western Union?

He just needs me to phone him with my name, address, occupation, phone numbers and identity documents.

Ludicrous.

And why does he have a Gmail personal email account rather than a business address, when he claims to be a high powered lawyer working for the US government.

Why does he not even know my name yet wants to give me millions of dollars.

Is there anyone on planet Earth dumb enough to respond to this, hoping to get the actual money?

Who knows?

I certainly hope not.
