all i have to say is, WTF.

it's just weird as hell.

[JCC]

It's just money scams.

[Breathless Horror]

It's the old nigerian money laundering scam. They ask for your bank information, then fuck you out of all your money. I pity anyone who falls for them anymore.

[Cen0bite]

k.
well, i would never give out my info. hell, i don't even have a bank account.

[LaBelleDameSansMerci]

I got one of those. It was, literally, someone from Nigeria... (or they at least said they were). I copied and pasted it into a text file and saved it on my computer. I was rather amused that I'd been the recipient of a money scam...

I think my favourite subject line in a weird e-mail was, once I took out all the double and triple letters, "I a whopping sausage fast."

[prophecyofdoom]

I get about three of these a day.. I suspect the reason for this is that I responded to an email sent me once that read "you have won $1,000,000 in the South African Lottery, just email this person at blah blah blah to collect." I emailed them just for the hell of it. They responded that I had indeed won $1,000,000 and all I needed to do to collect was sent them my checking account number. DELETE. But because I even responded in the first place I am now on the "idiot" list

[Jaye Jang]

Mine come from China and they say the same thing, except it is the "wealthy father" sending the e-mails. Just ignore them and report them to your carrier as spam.

[$haDe]

If it DOES real don't respond.. They might hit u with space shuttle...!!!


OMFG...!!!! Space SHUTTLE....!!!!!

[TopHaggardDoll]

The cheeky bastards!

Report them!

[Valerius]

I got one of those a few years back, but it was through another forum I used to be active in. I decided to play along until I got bored, so I didn't respond anymore. They asked again, and I said I simply knew about their scam. Didn't hear from them anymore. Haha!

[electrosexual]

I got a few of these today. The standard of English made me laugh.

[mindless1]

I get those ALL the time.

[Noumi]

Yup, it´s kind of weird. I´ve never receibed one of those anyway.

[Kristin]

Sometimes it's really fun to lead them on, make them think they got you.
