Fighting Nigerian Email Scams (funny!)

suncrafter · 01-28-2009, 08:59 AM

Have you ever gotten one of those Nigerian scams in your email? You know - where they say you won millions in a lottery (or whatever)? Well the webmaster on this site http://www.419hell.com/ answers those scam emails and does everything he can think of to mess with the scammer's head and waste their time.

Here is a fake photo ID that one of the scammers sent him...
(I think I could eat a photo with some paper and poop a more convincing ID!)

I lived in New York for years, Nigerians are some of the most crooked, yet shrewed people on the face of the earth

.

They are so slick, they make engine grease seem like crazy glue

; sharks man I am tellin you. Perfect business people, it's in the blood or it's something in the water over there man.

Scared to even say hello; would be lucky to keep the shirt on my back from the encounter.

Nigerian email scams were so 2004...

Its the Russian mafia backed phishing attacks you gotta watch out for. Much more sophisticated...

I don't know about "so 2004". I get them all the time. ALL the time.
I've had to abandon my Yahoo e-mail address because of them; I get like twelve a day, in addition to a bunch of other junk.
