FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE

Here we go again with the free money from Benin. I mean, what are we waiting for? It's there for the taking! My favorite thing about this one is that they used a Yahoo Calendar Event Invitation to send the request to over 35 recipients. The original e-mail even had the *.ics file so we could put it on our schedule.

Wouldn't want to miss this important date...

Of course this is a scam. People at a "Federal Ministry of Finance" don't use Yahoo accounts. In fact, anyone with a business or legitimate organization shouldn't use Yahoo mail, it is the most polluted "free" mail service out there.

Delete the e-mail, don't communicate with them. Move on with your day!
