Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Buddy of mine got one of those from a woman, about three years ago. It was probably the 50th in that year, and he ignored it at first. Then one day he decided to answer it. He told the woman that instead of laundering money across borders, he’d marry her and then the money could be moved quite legally. She was, he said, a real person who assured him that she’d never marry someone sight unseen. An opportunity missed, he and decided, due to her reluctance to trust someone.
Hey, just because she was a real person doesn’t mean she wasn’t trying to commit fraud.
Hey Scott!
Perfect opertunity to post the “web” response letter don’t you think? I mean who here could resist a heart base appeal that matches out interests so well? I’m sure you have a copy someplace of the “Save the Nigerian Astronaut and his back-pay” letter don’t you? :o)

Who falls for this crap anymore? Sadly, enough do so that the scam still makes money.
The trouble is that sending an email to everybody on the entire internet only costs pocket change. So it only takes a couple of morons to make the scam profitable.
Peanuts!
Just 15% of $7 500 000? Last year I won the Spanish lottery twice. On July 20 I was the lucky winner of 915 810 Euro and just a few days later, on July 24, it was 815 310 Euro – I think. They wrote “815 310” in numbers, but spelt out “Seven hundred….” etc.
Who falls for this crap? A sufficient number of people to make it worth while.
