I always spend a little time and send them an e-mail back pretending they set the hook. I kept one idiot from the Ivory Coast on a string for months that way.

If everyone did this, there would be no way they could read fast enough to separate the 'wheat' from the 'chaff' and most of those guys would find easier ways to steal.

But it sounds soooo official....except that they aren't sure if the $2.2mil is going to a man or woman to begin with.

They really mangled the last paragraph, the rest weren't bad compared to some of the others I've seen.

There has to be a book opportunity there somewhere... "Best of Internet Nigerian Scam Letters."

chinashop. It is funny and I promise it won't p0wn your computer. Trust me. Would I lie... : )


We get tons of our less than sophiticated users falling for the "we are are going to upgrade your webmail system, if you want it to keep working please email your username/password/penis size to accountupdate@somefreemailprovider (Well not the penis size, but it might as well be there). Once $user falls for it, next thing I know I've got Prince Mugu, connecting from $internet_cafe in Lagos, sending out this crap. I guess there is a reasons for the ACLS for basically anything coming from Afrinoc Registered IP space...
