★ UPDATED: Nigerian Money Scams come to Facebook

Received this in my Facebook Inbox:

Anyone else receiving these? It’s amazing that this could actually work. Then it’s mostly based on the fact that I’m a jerk who will say “sure, I’ll take the money” and then the scamming me out of my money begins.

Here’s the person’s Facebook Profile – http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000347630341

UPDATE from Paul: I received this today

My client’s name was Peter Jackson and he was my client until his death, I know he is not your relation but since you have the same last name with him, I can present you as the next of kin and will process
the documents to claim the fund in question, it is a simple process and whoever I present will be accepted. I was his attorney and so will guide you all the way through the transaction, on your
response and consent; I will send more directives over to you.
Bar. Richard Shannon.
