People like this disgust me. Any FReepers know how to deal to mungrels like this?

These Nigerian scam-meisters have now sunk to a new low -- if such a concept could even be possible!

How come those guys never send me these opportunities? I could sure use the money.

Sure.... a fool and his money are soonest parted. If you fall for that, you deserve no respect.

The choices are:

Report it.
Delete it.
Make fun of it.

Amazing how many people fall for the Nigerian scammers.

In one case, a legal secretary stole $2 million of the law firm’s money figuring she’d struck it rich.

NBC’s Chris Hansen did a segment on this——a smalltown official actually looted the town’s treasury of a million bucks (and ponied up $70,000 of his own money) in anticipation of a payoff-—the official is now in jail.

Hansen then flew all over the world and met with some of the scammers........pretending he fell for the scam. NBC rented a London nightclub and staffed it with actors, to lure one scammer.

Apparently there’s not much you can do legally to these Nigerians.

It is so lucrative, would not be surprised to learn the Nigerian gov’t is in on it (I would suggest Chris Hansen follow-up that angle).

I suggest going along with the deal and playing them for as long as possible. If they are Nigerians, you can tell right away by their lack of grammar skills. Agree to meet and send the police.

Could someone please tell me where Tikitit is?

Those filth hit the bottom of the pit years ago, and immediately started digging ...

[Pistolshot]

I always send the reply that I need $100K to set up the account in Switzerland and can't help til that is sent by check or MO.

Funny, I never hear back from them on that.
