Yeah ive gotten emails similar to that as well. My other favorite is the guy who emails me and says "sorry to hear you have been taken by all these scammers. You need to deal with someone legitimate like me to get your inheritance. I will personally send you an ATM card that letd you withdrawl $45,000 a day until your money is gone. Just send me $120 so i can mail out your ATM card...."

 

[Pinky Winky]

Where do I send my $120?

 

[outlawbusa]

Beware! When confronting scammers it is best to be wary. Don't be like the ostrich who sticks his head in the sand hoping it will pass you by. Be as cunning as a serpent but as harmless as a dove. What am I getting at is the following for I will tell you how I came to my senses. A few years ago I became involved with several scammers. I did not gain any money nor did I lose any except that when I attempted to cash several fake checks. My bank after a time of this closed my account and my email provider froze my email address. When I came to my senses I began to research scams. I ended up writing a self-help guide called 'Scammers Among Us Beware' published by Eloquent Books. This is a how to, how not to, what to do if, and who to contact if. This book is a compilation of data from agencies from the USA, Canada, the UK, and Interpol. You may view and purchase this book on Amazon.com, BN.com, Eloquent Books.com and in bulk at www.aeg-online-store.com -. Don't just take my word for it check it out for it just may save you and yours your bankroll. Scams are everywhere the world over. We need every tool at our disposal if we are to defeat this scourge. Interpol as a few things to say about the UN etc. Thank you.

Leon,

While I know you are trying to help here, any promoting of products or services to the members of this private board needs to be discussed with the owner, captain. He will pass the information on if he feels it is beneficial to everyone.

 

[ogre]

[BIG GUY]

[bowwow]

Maybe we should take up donations for people that have been scammed. I will hold the money and make sure it is given out to those that need it.

Bet they would enjoy your sig

 

[BIG GUY]

Some of the people that write these emails must put some real time and effort into writing these emails. Can you imagine if the would put this same effort into something that really mattered what they could do? I also wonder how many people have fallen for these fake emails?

Tell them you work at the US Embassy in Nigeria and they can just hand deliver your check...
