once every 3 months or so... i recieve a mail from Africa that says that i have gained about $ 13.000.000 . because some rich dude died, and that he had no familly.... so they chose me for the money. And they ask me to reply urgently... of course, i never answer to these. Thinking it's some Al Qaida network stuff.... Do you get those too? |

Yes I get them all the time. I always reply too, but oddly enough no one ever replies back to me. |

im not so sure that it's a thing to really wish for. The first time it happens, you think YEEEY. IM RICH!!!! And then you think back and realize what kind of crap it really is. |

Al Qaida's responsible for that spam? Those bastards have gone TOO far this time. |

They're very standard, usually called 'nigerian scam' spam. if you google around you can find some very funny stories of people responding and carrying on lengthy conversations.. |

i know i have told you guys about this millions of times, but i worked as a relay operator and dealt with these dumb ass nigerians all fucking day long (they call bazillions of business and try to order 500 pieces of everything from gold chains, car parts, wedding dresses, to biscuits and puppies -- wtf -- with stolen credit cards). UNTIL TODAY BECAUSE I FUCKING QUIT!!!! i so wish that citibank would feature nigerians in their credit card fraud protection commercials ...they are such cocksuckers; if you don't do what they want they call you a "mugu" which apparantly means big fool. but i love what some people do -- "scam baiting." check it out at (god help this person for the name of his site) . i think he's even got them to send money to HIM. |

Ginger posted this site earlier, but its classic. These guys make a hobby out of baiting, and then scamming the scammers. They even have a chart showing who did what to who, and how much they made out of it.... |

i love when they make them pose oddly..that is what got me through my job, imagining them sitting at their computers with fish on their heads trying to order gold chains. |
