This is a really bad job scam as it can land you in prison.  Either State or Federal depending on who prosecutes first or even both, leave one to go to the other.   You are moving stolen money, stolen merchandise and using the Federal Post Office to move the stolen items.  

Local traffic of stolen goods, having stolen property or using the US Post Office for Wire Fraud and moving Stolen Property or Federal Criminal Enterprise.

Easy for people to fall for this scam, as they offer to pay you $300 a week for doing almost nothing.

illness or they get it confisticated.

So instead of getting it confiscated I rather have someone whom I can
trust to receive the funds and utilize it according to my Wishes. And
the best part of it is, the Finance Security Company told me in the
letter that they can have the funds released to my approved person
that was authorized by me or transferred to his bank account and if I
issue authorizations letter to them to transferred to his or her bank
account.

Presently, I am using my laptop in the hospital at Frankfurt Germany
where I have been undergoing treatment for my sickness. I have since
lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only
more 2 months to live. It is my last wish to see atleaset 60% of this
money is invested/donated to any organization/business of your choice
and distributed each year among the charity organization, e.g. the
poor homes, the motherless babies home where I came from, the deaf
homes, and churches etc.

All I seek for is a God fearing person like you ,who will carry out my
last wishes and before I emailed you today I prayed and the holy
spirit gave me the confidence to send you this email. I took this
decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up.

Money Scam > 2011 United Nations Compensation Program

They screwed up this scam by messing up the senders first and last name by putting two names in each box.   

 

None of the combos work and give this error: W0131 We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information and click Check Status.

 

Regardless of their common mistake, and being most likely new to the scam business, no one is giving free money. There are no lotteries, no compensation groups, and Western Union does not use an @boc.com and/or @wss-id.org email addresses.

 

Not really a  well done scam, but different that some others so worth posting.

Spam - Fraud > FEDERAL BUREAU INVESTIGATION / URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL...

Awful scam, badly done, just a mess.  Just the bad emails and contact are enough to make you want to upchuck.  Using a domain like terra.com is just odd.  Seems like a Spanish version of a Yahoo type portal page.  Of course the FBI does not use their own email, part of the cover up.  The FBI sends email from discaldi.com all the time.

Just in case, this of course is a very obvious scam. The link tells the

Don't follow links that you are not sure is real and validated, always just

Greetings In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am Mother Margaret Bennett, a widow to late Richard A. Bennett, I am 75 yrs old,I am now a Born Again Christian, suffering from long time Breast Cancer, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than two weeks , According to my doctors.This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very dangerous stage and has blown out.

My late husband killed during the U.S raid against terrorism in Afghanistan,and during the period of our marriage without child. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death I inherited all his business and wealth.

My late husband relatives are wishing me death because all they are Concerned about is my Late Husband Wealth. They want me to die so that they can be able to claim all that my late husband left behind before he died. Simply because I did not had another child for my late husband after my first child died, and they called me all sort of names, Like (BARREN WOMEN), they even said that I killed my husband but only God In Heaven can bear me witness on that because God knows I cannot kill. I want you to claim this fund and use it to help the poor and less privileged in your country instead of my late husband relative to have access to this fund, I rather hand it over to somebody who understand my pains and ready care of the fund and also to use it help people who desire's help and to Win Souls into the Kingdom of God. Because if this fund get to my late husband relatives, they will Misuse the fund for an unworthy act. I am doing this because This is my Mission on Earth as God has
 directed me to you, more also my


I have divided some part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia and also in Europe. I prayed over it, and I am willing to donate on your behalf, the total sum of Five Million Great Britain Pounds (GBPЈ5,000, 000.00) to be used for the Poor, the Less Privilege, the Charity Organization and the Orphanage Home.

My attorney, will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name. Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus the love of God and the fellowship of God be with you and your family. I await your urgent reply.

Please kindly get back to me on my private email address (faithofdonation@cnonline.net) if you are willing to help for further details and directive.

Dear Good Friend

Peace is unto you as you read this letter. My Instinct tells me that I can trust you by my proposition. My late husband got your contact through a diplomat that was attached to the information and public affairs of the foreign mission when he was alive and instructed me to contact you for this humanitarian assistance and My Instinct directed me to send this money to you for this purpose.

I am a widow and a devoted Christian, my name is MRS MARGARET KELLY from UNITED KINGDOM. Since my husband died, I have been suffering from arthritics and lately doctors have diagnosed me with terminal cancer that left me with approximately twelve months to live. I am currently on wheelchair and being looked after by a nurse and some of my late husband's relatives in turns.

Before my husband died, he left some money to the tone of USD$2,500,000,00(Two million, five hundred thousand dollars) and he made me promised him that it should be used for humanitarian work, because we have no children and he doesn't want his brothers to lay hands on it, since they dont Have same faith with us they have a different vision. This money is currently in a vault with a security company/bank in EUROPE.

If you will promise me that you will use this money to achieve the wish of my husband and me, then I will instruct the security company/bank to release the content of the vault in your name. For now, we cannot discuss this on the telephone to maintain confidentiality since my husband's family is around me round the clock.

Reply me through my email address for us to discuss so that you can go and claim this money before I die.
Remain blessed, as you will devote out your time for this trusted work. Thank you.
Yours sincerely
