Fighting Irish

It still shocks me that some people are stupid enough to believe these things

Earthhorse

Damnit! I knew I should've subscribed to the internet instead of waiting for it to hit the shelves. Then I'd be able to collect some of those United States Dollars.

The only thing unusual about this one is he only called himself Mr.Francis Adewale, they often like to give themselves a fancy title like Dr.

It's astonishing that people are still getting fooled by these scams (which is to be assumed seen as they still exist)

Its well written, unusually so for a 419 scam .

You will get raped on tax's. Best to pass on this one. The investment opportunities in Nigeria's royal family is where I am hedging my bets.

Thats not a great scam at all..:rolleyes:

Where is the guy on his deathbed, the mourning widow, the king who was ousted in a military coup, the guy who owns all the land rovers..

There is no magnificence with the 419 scammers anymore

usually quite elaborate - often they'll forward you to put in your bank details into a phoney website of a real bank (cloned website), or get you to forward on a 'clearance fee' so they can release the funds etc

note that this'll all be asked for ~4-5 emails 'into' the scam

This is what I noticed as well, it's funny!

Congratulations on your win O.P.!!!
A friend of mine recently won the Spanish lottery, that he didn't even enter!

Some people just have all the luck....;)

I actually didn't realise I had so many distant relatives living in Africa, unfortunately tragic how they all seem to be dying.

Just gotta love them Nigerians with their crazy scams and what not!

I love ringing them at 2am. From work phone, of course. If you pretend that you've fallen for it, they go from sleepy to super-alert in about 30 seconds.
