Would you fall for this....

I got this in my email. What a scam, I hate getting these things. It might be half way interesting if they were litterate. Seeing as how the english sucks and you can't understand what in the he$#% they are talking about. Its an ignorant email. Sad part is, I wonder how many people have actualy fallen for this. I thought everyone would get a kick out of this masterpice...... :D

Two jailed in “Nigerian letters” fraud

George Agbinone and Ovie Ukueku, were sentenced yesterday to prison terms of 3 ½ years and 12 months imprisonment years respectively. They had pleaded guilty to a £½ million advance fee fraud through the use of so called “Nigerian letters” where victims were offered a percentage of a large, but phantom, sum of money for assistance to transfer these sums out of West Africa.

I mighta believed it if the english and writing was better.

yeh I would fall for it..if I was dutch and had just returned from ghana, was drunk the entire time i was there. Oh and my best friends were the Tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and Santa Clause.. Oh and tonite was my nite with Britney to do what I wish with her.. Oh and if my investment portfolio was laced with companies found in fFree tips sent to my Hotmail account..

... LOL... ta for tha laugh P2P...


Hey I just worked it out... Now I know why the script kiddies want to know how to Hack Hotmail....
1/ They want all the free Investment tips I keep being sent..
2/ or is it the Trips I keep winning..
3/ or they want to see those nice girls that send me their WebCam address, especially those who are being really kind to the barn yard animals.....

any one for a top ten?
LOL...

Cheers

lol, people are always trying to earn some easy money :).

I guess that's why this "scammers" can do their business.. One friend has been scammed several times and he has not learned yet, he's still looking for the quick way to get rich, if he had saved all money he probably had been rich today :D.

how would ANYONE fall for THAT??

Hey guys, this is a major scam thats been going on for almost a decade now. First it started with faxes, now email. People have even been tricked into going over to Nigeria and have been killed by the scamers...

wow.. woah, i never knew that jcmcb: "people have even been tricked into going over to Nigeria and have been killed by the scammers..." =(

the first thing that would come to my mind... how the heck would someone I met at a booth or 'communication centre' to make calls would get my email address... I dont tell people in the real world my email address... I barely let it out as it is! Second, I'm not married, last 'trip' was to HI and how many people just visit where he is saying he met them? Spelling, grammar, they are both h0rrible. I know I'm not very good at spelling and everything but that was just a mockery of English!

i belive u werent suppose to think u were the guy

thing was they thought u were him meaning u could trick them into giving u the money

usually they say they will need u 2 send this much money here 2 open the account so they could put the big sum in in a month but they needed ur part 2 open the account, then they run off with that part and u never hear from them again

at least thats the stories ive heard

What they do is get you to open a bank account
next you are told that they must prove that it a ligit deal and there must be funds in and
could you please deposit an amount in, normaly 50,000
you must then give them the pin , account nr etc.
next thing your account is empty and yes persons do fall for it
how do i know My oldest brother is a high ranking officer in the police fraud squad
and deals with this a lot

mike

I would fall for it...

hey.. I can't complain.. i taught all those Nigerians... and now i'm worth 40 million.. (NOT) lol

i got one a while back asking me to give them my account # so they could wire $25 million
to so we both could start a buisness and be equal partners. yeah right! i believed for proberly
a split second ...

I get this sorta crap on a daily basis in my Yahoo e-mail
Mr Moyo
Mr Mumbasa
it's all part of the Nigerian scam, they try to screw people into actually paying.
Most of the times the subject is like: NEED EMERGENCY ASSISTENCE

Wouldn't of fallen for it. Heh even if I had im too broke to open a bank account :P
