Yes, "Hello Notice" was the subject line to the spam-u-dulent email I received:

Attention Beneficiary,

FINAL NOTIFICATION REGARDING YOUR FUND

Records show that you are among one of the individuals and organizations who are yet to receive their overdue payment from overseas which includes those of Lottery, Contract and Inheritance.








Through our Fraud Monitory Unit we have also noticed that over the past you have been transacting with some imposters and fraudsters.

{Absolutely untrue; or wait a minute, perhaps there was that time I thought I was talking to foreign gov't officials. But, I've learned my lesson. And I never sent them money...why would I start now?}

We have negotiated with the Federal Ministry of Finance of Nigeria that your payment totaling $200,000 will be released to you via a custom pin based Credit card with a maximum withdrawal limit of $8,000 a day which is powered by Master Credit Card and can be used anywhere
in the world for  withdraw or transaction.

{That sounds perfectly legit to me [sarcasm inserted!]; how about to you?}

We have perfected everything in regards to the release of your $500,000 United States Dollars to be 100% risk free from any hitches as it's our duty to protect citizens of globally

{Wait, wasn't it $200,000 in the previous paragraph...}

To redeem your fund you are hereby advised to abide to the instruction below to enable the shipment of the Premium Master Credit Card and it’s back up document and the charge fee required to pay for the shipping /security insurance fee is $86 only nothing more and no hidden fees as everything else
has been taken cared of by the Federal Government including taxes, custom paper and clearance duty so all you will ever need to pay is $86 only.

{Hahahaha...If there was actual money involved, I'm pretty sure the taxes would be much higher than $86.}

[There was some other contact names here; but the whole sentence really didn't make any logical sense, so I deleted to save you from the headache of reading it. You're welcome. Of course, if I deleted purely for logical sense, I wouldn't have anything left to post, would I?]

Thanks and hope to read from you soon with the payment confirmation details to enable the delivery.

Mrs. Helen Charles.
Secretary of US Department of Homeland Security

{No, No you are not...}
