Ha, a barrister from Nigeria! I got one of those emails from Yassar Arafat's widow! Seems she couldn't get at the riches that he left in a bank in Paris. I figured it was a hoax 'cause he couldn't have have a fortune, given that he was a humble, selfless servant of his people and all.:spineyes:

How can 2 strangers who stumbled upon each other on an internet board have SO much good luck?!



:jumpers:

[llkooldudell45]

Wow, some of those posts scare me. I have not recieved any letters like this, but it freaks me up on what people can find out about you on-line. :sad11:

[zandyne]

I really hate these spammy letters :( I can't actually believe that people would actually fall for these still.

[PoisonedX]

There is this website which take care of spammers (by pretending that they fall into the trap)

Lot of fun in there: http://www.waronspam.com/

Whoa!! A scam letter virgin!! There must be an interview in this one! I can hear the headlines now! "Dude So Cool He Escapes Nigerian Treasure Traps!"

:worthy:

I thought everyone got these letters! IA, we must be lucky! Or we're getting kooldude's and that's not fair!! :toot:

That site is hysterical! I got stuck in there reading, and couldn't get out!! :eek:

[zandyne]

Yes, that site is truly funny, I read a few of those stories :lol:

[jaescafe]

I get those darn email all the time. I hope no one really falls for that, but I'm sure some people just don't know. I'm so sick of all the scams out there I could just scream:blowup:!

[chameleon]

I've got at least six different ones in the last four days - must be a new open season on chumps or something. But with all these millionaire's widows running around offering to pay people to help them get their money, it's no wonder that the folks in Africa are starving. All their money is being held hostage in Swiss banks waiting to be liberated by people like us who are so skeptical.

[Jessica]

I keep getting emails telling me I won the lottery!
Funny though how the email address is from .de or something weird like that.
They think I will fall for that??

[NicoMoon]

As hard as it might be to believe, it appears that this Nigerian scam is a part of the mystery behind the Mary Winkler murder.

For those who might not know, Mary Winkler is the quiet little minister's wife who shot her husband in the back and then fled with her young children. I suspect that a Nigerian money scam is likely to be the last thing anyone suspected.

Life is bizarre sometimes, and greed can evidently be a powerful drug.

More on this case in the relevant thread.

[womanistic]

What a weird way to scam people. Don't they have jobs? Those pesky scammers are just getting on my nerves! I got a letter back years ago saying that I have won a million dollars! Who are they kidding? I also know a scam when I see one. I guess these people just have nothing to do in their life.

[lcsamano]

I can't believe that people actually send this stuff. I have gotten a few letters myself but just delete them. The real sad thing is that some people actually believe it is true and think that they will get money.

[teenwire]

I have received the same email. Do be extra careful with those things. always remember, don't give out your bank account number or any other information even if they say they need the number to transfer the money to your account. It is very dangerous. They might get money from your account.

[ButtrflyDreams]

You gotta love those scammers....just remember to share the wealth when you do get rich. LOL
