    If I had the time I'd make a Hall of Fame website for them. Some are pretty funny.

    This one is. I like how the UN and World Bank are involved.

    Forward the email as an attachment to the Department of Homeland Security. Include some text indicating that you received the attached email as supposedly a correspondence "from" the Department of Homeland Security and that you would like to verify its authenticity.

    Lets see how good they really are...........

    I used to get these emails from "US Soldiers" who claimed to have found Saddam Hussein's
    stash of cash in Iraq and needed my help to get it out of the country.

    I didn't receive this email but I did receive an email from Ira Goldberg today which was a phishing attack, attempting to steal Google credentials. They're aware of it but be careful if you receive an email with the subject "Important Doc"
