I wish I could make this up. I logged into my email account this morning and found this waiting for me:
Attention:
My name is Mr. Kofi J. Mensah, I am the Chief Elders of my village, am from Obuasi, Ghana in West Africa. I am using this medium to let you know that we have Gold dust for sale at cheaper price.
Below is the specification:
Commodity: AU Alluvial
Gold Dust
Carat: 23 Carat
Quantity: 50kg
Price:
USD$23,000.00
Purity: 92.9%
I will be glad to hear from you soonest.
Kofi J. Mensah
From Obuasi,koofjmensa@gmail.com
Hey - let's analyze this deal from Mr. Mensah, shall we? 50kg is 1763 ounces. Multiply that by $1400/oz and we get almost $2.5 million bucks! Sounds like a bargain at $23 grand! (SARCASM ALERT) Of course, 92.9% pure 23 carat gold dust is not quite the same as .9999 gold bullion.
Although I do not give financial advice on this blog, I would advise my readers NOT to contact Kofi Mensah in search of gold dust riches.

SWEET! Love the "international FUND transfer rules" part. I suspect this be a email scam.

It has been discovered that your contract/inheritance/winning FUND was about being transferred to an unknown account under your name. This attempt was perpetrated by someone who claims to be working for you, and that you have given him due authority to have the FUND moved to the account specified below:
SOUTHWESTERN FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
WESCORP 924 OVERLAND COURT
SAN DIMAS, CA 91772. USA.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 322179133
ABA/ROUTING NUMBER: 1290-41-21-9
SHARETYPE NO.: 25
FINAL CREDIT HABIB FENZI AND CO. (Beneficiary).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) waded in after being alerted by the supposed bank. We investigated and found that there is a possible money laundering activity in play.The FUND US$10,500,000.00(Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) was found to be deposited in Bank of America in your name pending your consent to have it transferred to the new account indicated above. It was further revealed that initial FUND transfer originated from Nigeria to England and now here in Bank of America in USA.
These transfers did not follow due process in line with the international FUND transfer rules and regulation.Consequently,we suspect this be a terrorism funding, drug related fund deposit and/or money laundering. As stated above, the FUND has your name on it; and you must have it cleared of any connection with any of these illegal activities.Be informed that FAILURE to have this cleared out will attract a JAIL TERM.We will not hesitate to visit the full weight of the law upon you if you do not clear this fund.There is every indication that you are involved in this shady deal.
Finally, you are expected to have the CLEARANCE DOCUMENT obtain from where the FUND originated from to have you and your fund cleared. Only then shall we release your FUND as clean money devoid of any illegality, and you will be free of any involvement. To this end, you are to contact Mr. Kenneth Wilson of the Anti Graft Department of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (E.F.C.C.) Nigeria and have the DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY SEAL of TRANSFER (DIST) CLEARANCE DOCUMENT obtained. Contact him through this direct email address:efccantigraft.nigeriagovoffc@gmail.com,Note that you have 72hrs to obtain this crucial Documentation.
This has to be cleared!
You are warned!

come on Transor, you're so old fashioned. If it doesn't have to do with gold/silver/platinum or palladium, just insta-delete it
Maybe this is part of the JP Morgan hedge you were talking about?
I think I got one once about a chest full of gold valued at a round figure (like $25 mil USD) that fell out of a minister's downed plane and got dragged out of the the jungle by porters. Shit!!!
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
