Just thought I'd post it, it made me chuckle. Do people really fall for this!?

[Phoenix999]

Nigerians tend to be well educated but at times they can be so stupid to think that people will, in the main, fall for this

Sadly though there are times when people are even more stupid and do fall for such scams

Keep trying, Les :D I have a friend who went to Nigeria for a family funeral, & I would spend an hour trying to get through to her, & vice versa. A true story, I might add

All that money is worth an hour on the phone

Exactly How do people fall for these ? And they DO :o I posted the story before of a Business man of my acquaintance, whom I'd consider to be a "cute hoor" who is now bankrupt & living in a bedsit because he swallowed one of these hook line and sinker :(

Such a shame that they fall for it. Thing is, I always look for grammatical errors and spelling, along with structure. The sender obviously has no skill within any topic in the realm of literature and writing. It's just pathetic to be honest. Just get a job and work like we do... (well not me, but I'd be a mechanic if I was legally allowed!)

Dad killed by brother who is a lion?

I've seen that in a film.... The Lion King

[Insanity-74]

Why are they always from Nigeria!!! Almost every scam you see or hear about stems from Nigeria...is that country just full a scam artists...is it a course in school that they learn like English and maths

Lesson One. Scam lessons - How to set up a scam in one easy step

Lesson Two. Maths - Multiples of One Million & how to use them in every day life

Lesson Three. English - The bare essentials (this lesson does not include spelling or punctuation)

:D

[dailey87]

I'm sure they would be able to scam more people if their emails didn't read like they were written by a lolcat.

O hai, i can has bank account detailings?

How do all these Maidens in distress find me ? I have always been adopted by stray cats & dogs, but this is too much :shutit: It is a lot of money, but she is under the age of consent

From Miss Kate Koffi

Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Dear,

My name is Miss Kate Koffi. I am 17 years old girl from Ivory Coast. I want to have a common relationship with you, I need to tell you more things, but first I need your help to Stand for me as a trustee.

Myas a businessman before his death.

Some months after the death of my father, two of my uncles conspired against me and sold my father's properties to a Chinese businessman all because I am a girl.

After many weeks, I opened my father's briefcase and saw some documents which my late father used and deposited money in a Bank here in Ivory Coast with my name as the next of kin. I have tried to withdraw the money so that I can start a better life and take care of myself.

The Branch manager of the Bank whom I met in person told me that my present status does not permit me by the local laws to clear money or make a transfer of money into an account.

He advised me to provide a trustee who will help me and invest the money or I should wait till when I will be 24 years old according to the law of Ivory Coast.

I have chosen to contact you and would like you to take me as your own blood and help me. I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my uncle has threatened to kill me.

The amount is Ten Million Five Hundred Dollars ($10,500,000.00) and I have confirmed it from the bank.

You will help me to place the money in a more profitable business investment in your Country.

You will also help by getting a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies.

It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment.

As soon as I receive your interest in helping me, I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.

Please do keep this only to your self. I beg you not to disclose it to anyone until I come over to your country because I am afraid of my wicked uncle who has threatened to kill me.

Sincerely yours

Miss Kate Koffi

Ha!

You lot all get the scams but I get the REAL thing

Eat your hearts out, I'll soon be getting this £250,000:00

I know they never sent the cheque on the other hundred occasions but I'm sure this is the real thing

[eddieinvader]

My mate had one like this over the phone the other day he was told he had over paid tax and was due £5000.00 back they told him that he had to pay them £500.00 first as this is the tax he would have to pay on it for it to be refunded.

They wanted this paid direct then and there by card for him supposedly to be able to get the money, as you can guess he told them where to go and went straight to the bank who canceled him account straight away and he was informed that he was the sixth person in a week who had been in for the same thing.
