    Mr. Ferguson

    Thank you for locating my lost consignment box. Please keep it secure until the authorities arrive, I will have a hazmat extraction team ready within the next week. Agent James Edwards will be in charge of the extraction process and will contact you beforehand. In the meantime, it is extremely important that you do not attempt to open the box because it contains highly radioactive materials. If the box is compromised you must quarantine the area, keep everyone calm, don't allow anyone to enter or leave, and contact me immediately. Please carefully inspect the box for damage and if you notice any areas warm to the touch then a quarantine must be enforced. I cannot stress enough how important it is to our national security that you observe every reasonable precaution and do not talk to anybody about the situation except Agent Edwards or myself.

    They claimed the box weighed 180 lbs so for some reason a heavy lead-lined box full of radioactive materials jumped to mind.

    I bet they found your make-up.



  • Well I got a response indicating the scammer didn't read or didn't care, just asking for confirmation of all my personal details. I get bored easily so I just deleted everything.
