It's so nice to see that the scammers are using the best of technology.

It started with scam letters, then progressed to faxes (remember them?), and now they're onto e-mail, whatever next?

 

[chelseafc2005]

with these scams though i find it hard to believe that some people actually take the bait and believe these scammers that they will make millions first of all it comes outa nigeria i wuldnt believe much that comes out of there and it sounds too good to be true which normaly means it aint true but it makes me laugh when i read some of the stories on 419eater.com it just shows how desperate some of these scammers are and how gullible they are and to what extents they will go to to get their money.

Honestly, did you even have to ask about this? It's a farcical attempt with terrible english and anyone that falls for it deserves everything they get!!

I got one of these e-mails, but it was about a rich British businessman who died in Iraq and they found a lot of money on him and they where looking for a relative to claim it, but the relative needed to have a british address in order to claim it. His cousin somehow got my e-mail address and sent the e-mail to me asking for my help. This guy was claiming to be a relative and saying he would share the money with me. I deleted it right away. Definitely a scam big time.

They certainly try....i just wonder how many people have contacted these people. The mind boggles !

Happy New Year everyone !

Hmmm, yeah, me ... if I found him, I'd be off with the money.

 

[solesister]

yeah, but i think the cousin wanted to marry me as well (must have left that little detail out in the last post).....then again, we do have civil partnerships now - so you might have been quids in there !
