Alright, anyone else with Nigerian scam emails or anything comparable, please post here.

You mean, that African guy isn't sending the money?

Wouldn't you know if this is fake or not?....I mean you would have to submit your e-mail in the drawing right....

If it's real though, much Congratulations.....how much is that in US dollars, $50 lol ...

roll

1.1888 million U.S. dollars

This is a scam...

I thought the nigerian scam was commonly known

What do you guys mean "nigerian scam"? This kindly Nigerian priest sent me an email about receiving over $4.2 million dollars in US funds, but he needed $4,000 to process applications and bank transfer fees, which I gladly sent 3 weeks ago. I'm supposed to go meet with him on Saturday to discuss the final closing fees, and he says the money should be in my bank account by Monday afternoon ).

I've bought a ticket in 1st class, which will be pocket change on Tuesday morning ).

damn scams...just like those freeipod sites!! all crap!

I have been stringing a Nigerian scammer along for a couple of weeks and he wants me to open a bank account through his bank's website and to send 1000 British pounds to his secretary... Any funny ideas on how I should play this?

lol, do u guys remember the fisherman and the african story? I don't remember where I read it from but some guy got this scam email from a guy in Africa and he pretended to be an old fisherman guy. They sent each other pictures and crap.

hehe oh o.k... I'm glad it's a joke... cuz it'll be sad if that person really did that.....

yea i agree it would be sad, but it was so obvious he was kidding P

The day after my grandpa's funeral I got a "nigerian scam" letter saying that a Robert Cloud from Africa, yadda yadda. It really pissed me off even though I knew they couldn't have possibly known that he had just died (for those who can't figure it out, my grandfather's name was Robert Cloud).

I really got this email. but I would never respond to this. Its completely obvious that its a scam...
