Don't bother guys, I already had the funds transfered to my account.

This guy is really on the up and up, I trust him.

I love it.

Have you guys got the one about the Nigerian Treasure that was launched into outer space using the secretly funded Nigerian spacecraft? I think that guy invoked special relativity and a time machine too.

LoL! I once got some of that spam...I replied with racial material from a neo-nazi site. I got a few death threats in return.

I laugh every time some idiot falls for these e-mail scams. Even after all the warnings over the years (these scams were around LONG before the internet) people keep falling for this and then cry when they realise what has happened.

I dont think the police should even bother using resources to find those scammers.

Do you mean that the Nigerian princess who wrote asking for my help was insincere?

One of my clients had me send hime $7500 from his account so he could wire the money to these people. This was even after I warned him, threatened to quit and e-mailed him all the resources showing this was a scam.

Some people want to believe it so bad...they are blinded by their own greed and some get what they deserve.

These are as old as the internet. There's a site devoted to baiting these scammers, which involves getting them to do ridiculous things and having them email you the photo.

It's pretty hilarious when some Nigerian con-artist sends a picture of himself with a fish on his head holding a loaf of bread.

Why anybody would fall for these idiots is beyond me. One born every minute as they say...

They are alot older than the internet. They started between the first and second world war with letters sent from africa to europe offering you to buy non existant land and farms or shares in "mineral mines" .

I have a very artistic flipping of the bird jpg I send to the ones asking for a "secret sign" I send in return. Then I report and block the bastiges.

Anyone got a link to that websight? I'd like to send it anonymously to my client.

The scam itself is refered to as a '419' after the legislature devoted to fraud in Nigerian law.

Here it is: http://www.419eater.com/

BTW, it's no laughing matter. Several people have been murdered by 419 conmen after being suckered into going to Nigeria to get their 'winnings'.

One happy scammer, duped into stupid photo:
