For years I have heard vague tales of the Illuminati, a secret cabal that rules the world. I have, of course dismissed this as antisemitic nonsense, the province of the tin-foil hat crowd: the utterings of those who, dissatisfied that they are not as important as they think they have a right to be, imagine that there is some mythical opposing force that is keeping them from their deserved power and wealth.
I was, apparently, in error.
Recently, I have received a number of email messages inviting me to join the Illuminati. (How did they get my email address? Of *course* they have my email address! They're the Illuminati!) So, I will be taking my proper place among those of rank and consequence, ruling the world, and will no longer have time for dealing with rabble like you lot. (Just wanted to let you know before I supposedly disappear.)
(I am a little surprised that is has taken the advanced fee fraudsters this long to get around to this particular variation on the 419/Spanish Prisoner scam, even though I suppose that it takes an oddly convoluted mind to invert a conspiracy theory and make it a hustle. Probably an effective one, of course, since conspiracy theorists are unlikely to have the analytical skills necessary to realize that they are being taken ...)
