Private U.S. citizens have been the target for many years of Nigerian gangs who send out letters asking for donations to some apparently legitimate charity. Many people, truly wanting to help, send checks for what they believe to be needy people. But it’s a scam!

The Nigerian gang in today’s story must have been led by Larry, Moe and Curly, the Three Stooges. They print $120 billion in fake U.S. currency. That’s right, I said BILLION—not million! Their plan is to use the fake money to set up a credit line for the benefit of their favorite charity. That charity would be their personal accounts.

Understand, brokerage folks make a living handling money, so they’re fully aware of folks with their hands in other people’s pockets. These brokers are sharp. Right away they smell something fishy. They’re alerted by two red flags.

The first red flag is the fact that each of the Federal Reserve notes is for one million dollars. Now, I’ve never had a million dollar bill in my wallet, so how would I know?

Seriously—there’s no such thing as a one million dollar bill. At least not in government sanctioned circulation. As if that isn’t enough, here comes red flag number two.

Examining several of the (counterfeit) bills, the brokers notice that the guys who printed the gang’s money forgot to put the letter “s” on the end of the word “dollar” at the bottom center of each bill. Guys who mess with big bucks know there’s always an “s” on the end of the word “dollar,” unless the note a single dollar.

Makes you wonder, if you came into possession of a one million dollar bill and you went into a Waffle House for coffee—would the clerk give you the right change?

Bottom line here: this Nigerian gang is arrested, tried, found guilty, and sent to the federal pen. I wonder if the prison has classes in remedial spelling?
