I never thought about sending a reply. Maybe we could come up with a very nicely worded reply that everybody who gets one of these would send back to them. You know, something like...

No thank you, I already have more millions than I can use. However, I could use some help getting rid of all of my money. If you would kindly send me $50.00 as an act of good faith, I would be more than happy to send you $50M.

dx3k · 07-15-2004, 08:39 AM

there was somin on bbc.co.uk/news about scams like this yesterday i think it was

quite amusing

identity_00 · 07-15-2004, 10:16 AM

Its a scam - was on the FBI site for awhile.
They will need your account # and name so they can send you the money. When you check your account all your money is gone.

I get one about every other day. So stupid and annoying.

iDeviseFlash · 07-15-2004, 10:25 AM

yea, pretty funny. The nigerian bank scam is where this came from, rofl.

jstep · 07-15-2004, 10:37 AM

ya,

did you read the whole thing?

matrics · 07-15-2004, 01:38 PM

If you read the whole thing, you can find almost EVERY possible type of "speling", "grammer" and "sentax" errors. ROFLPP, I can smell it from 100 miles against the wind that this is a scam. No-one named like that and whose father was a director writes like that. I mean, come on...

dpk827 · 07-15-2004, 02:40 PM

Who is actually dumb enough to believe that?

Lord · 07-15-2004, 06:48 PM

no fair

I dont get this if you google 401 or 441 scam, forget what they named it, you'll see a [censored] load of these

hehe, i wonder if they have some template that they copy and paste

it seems that as the emails go back and forth, their grammer and spelling get worse (@ ladsfromlagos.com)

edit its 419 scam

QBert · 07-15-2004, 07:56 PM

Email him back, but say youll only do it for 50%, like a true partner and see what he sez.

rosem · 07-16-2004, 08:00 AM

haha, I actually had two of these in my inbox this morning. I thought they were done with this scam!

I know a person who spent $20,000 travelling around Africa and United Arab Emirates, yuo know why?

It is because these scammers showed a box full of US currency $100 bills with his name printed on it

, so the guy I know thought he is a future Millionaire and spent money like crazy.

Current situation of this guy who spent money is almost he is bankrupt and unable to maintain his family. A sad story but many people become blind and ignore advices from peers and friends in greed and despair.

rosem · 07-16-2004, 11:43 AM

yikes!

I read an article recently (Cnn.com, I think) where a person spent their time scamming the scammers. He would ask for an $80 bank transfer fee. They scammer actually sent him $80 cash through the mail. Funny as hell.
