I may be in trouble. I found just found this message in my spam folder.
I’m not sure what to do. One one hand, I don’t even have a driver’s license. But the Yahoo email address (from “POLICE AGENCY”) is soooo official-looking. If you can’t trust a nondescriptive AGENCY that sends traffic tickets in emails, who CAN you trust?
Need answer fast!
you are in luck, after many years of strong study I am recently qualified as barrister (Nigerian law society) and can plead nicely this case for you.
Start-up costing are a small $200 and wiring this to me can have clearing your lovely reputation and restoring your pride!
Hire me Lawyer Person and I will honorably save you expense from cheater speed ticket by Police Agency.
Send me $5,000 cash and I promise $4,500 will return by international draft next day for refund of law fees.
You could mail them a drawing of a spider and see if they accept that as payment for the speeding ticket.
That letter appears to be quite popular. So popular in fact, they needed another town hall to keep up with all those scofflaw speeders.
So, will you send you money to TOWN COURT, CHATHAM HALL., PO BOX 117 or TOWN COURT, CHATAM HALL., PO BOX 117? Whatever you do, don’t open the attachment that may accompany the email.
ARe they asking for any cash?
There is no vehicle description and no driver description in terms of license-as you have no license.
Clearly this is a spam/scam.
I came here actually to see if you did not get something by USPS. In my area it is fairly common for meter readers or clerks to hit on wrong license numbers and a ticket may issue to the wrong party. Said party has to go through all types of gyrations to remedy the record. They take time off work and go before a judge and everything.
You, on the other hand, are off Scot free as another benefit to not driving.
Dear Mr.
Al Bundy
I am pleased to be offering you at this time our special advanced course on humor recognition. It is to be yours with all benefits and modalities. Please to be sending a check for $500 at this time to:
TOWN COURT, CHATAM HALL., PO BOX 117
Also for this limited time for you, Al Bundy
We have also to offer this special course in Reading Comprehension. Also for same price.
I did read. I did understand. I merely repeated the obvious.
Sheesh!
Wow, I got the exact same message last week; not only do I not have a driver’s license, but I’m on the exact opposite coast. The authors apparently don’t know how to spam properly. When I clicked on ‘recipients’ I cold see the the ticket was sent to thirty-odd addresses most of which started with ‘m’.
@ Bundy
It isn’t asking for money, they just want you to ‘print out’ a zipped .exe file for them.
I just wanted to state that Al read, understood and repeated the obvious portions of the OP… in case that wasn’t obvious. I felt it was worth repeating.
The exe file contains a real virus.
Yes, you’re right. The OP is wittily reporting a scam and Al confirmed that it is in fact a scam. These are the salient points of your post, which I think should be highlighted.
I Just wanted to be the first to congratulate Al Bundy for appearing Live at Chatam Hall. Tickets will be on sale at TicketMaster as well as the Municipal Box Office. Its going to be a wonderful night of comedy, fun, and general random incarceration. I sure hope I’ll see you all there… 
…which makes me wonder why more courts don’t have dinner theatre after hours. Contempt citations would be a really cool way to settle down the hecklers & fireflies.
Seems legit
I think you should follow the directions. You could get in bigger trouble if you don’t.
For this invaluable lawyer advice be sending me $5000 US by Western Union. i will refund you $4500 in cash for unspent mony.
Also, my Uncle, a Nigerian finance minister, has a really good business opportunity for you.
