Nigerian Email Scams

[Nero]

Whenever i get sent scams i usualy send a reply saying something along the lines of this "Thank you, all the information you provided i turned over to my local FBI office and i'm sure you will be getting a pleasent visit from them soon."

 

 

 

Actually by replying to that kind of e-mails, you're just asking for more spam/scam messages.

 

 

 

Yep.

 

 

 

They're sending these things over facebook now, I just got one a couple days ago.

[hide=Email 2]Good Day, I am wife of late Dr. (chief) David Mutambara who was murdered last year by the forces loyal to President Robert Mugabe due to their support in acquiring his land and property during the crisis in Zimbabwe last year, which continued and led to the lost of several lives of foreign (white) farmers. It is out of desperation that I am sending you this mail. My Son and I need your assistance in fronting for us as owner of funds that belong to my late husband which might come under investigation soon if the fund's ownership is not changed soonest. As my Husband's finances are increasingly becoming the source of investigation by our detractors. The source of these fund's which my Husband earnings would not validate, will further sink him into the cesspool dug by our enemies. It is because of the dire strait we find ourselves that we resolved to reach you and ask for your assistance in this matter. We are averse to letting those we know here into this deal because we are no longer sure of whom our friends are. You will be handsomely rewarded if you choose to help us partnership in this project. I will be expecting to hear from you and will disclose further details to you upon your response. It is equally important to state here that considering the nature of this matter, we will required that it is handle most discreetly. Best Regards, Monica Mutambara (Mrs.)For the family.[/hide]

I used to bait scammers, but I eventually got bored. Those people have way too much free time.

actually, i assume this is more of a business. sort of like gold farming in WoW. it is wrong, but if it pays the bills. i mean, they really only need one person to fall for it to make a fair amount of money.

I'm bumping this as I just got a likely email. If anyone wants to call the number or email at that address, feel free (mods, if I should remove this info, please tell me).

5 scammers responded to my ad in one week, in which I sell my Canon EOS 350D.

 

 

 

Most emails were obvious, some were in half dutch/half english, and I believed one email until I read half of it.
