FO-ONE-NINE Do you play them???

I know everyone on here has probably received an email from Nigeria or UK with people wanting to give you MILLIONS of dollars. What do you do? Do you just delete the email, try & rip them off, or waste their precious time??

I have been playing them for years, I know MSNBC did a report about this last weekend & forgot to watch. Anyone have any interesting stories?

Couple of websites with some funny stories !!
Welcome to the 419 Eater

or

Ebola Monkey Man: Nigerian 419 Scam

If you get bored, try & read some of the stuff others have pulled on the scammers, some worth reading (and wasting your time). I should publish some of mine!!!

I read the one where he got the scammer to make him a carved wooden bust of himself. I literally doubled over on the couch laughing. Everyone should read that!

If you get a chance, read the Tiffany Minx one on Ebolamonkey man site. Takes a while but gets pretty crazy !!!! (rated for MA)

Also, the "bust" one was good too. I some how get about three scam emails a day & started to mess with them. I set up an account just for that !!! Hope they don't find me

Hey Stew,

Try this one, not sure how long his email will be there !!!! I got some pics from him, see what you can get !!!!!!!!!!!!

FROM: CHEUNG PUI

(chpuiconfidential58@yahoo.com.hk)

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Cheung Pui director of
operations
of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for
you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Major Fadi Basem who was with
the
Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18
calendar months, with a value of Twenty Four millions Five Hundred
Thousand
United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice
was sent
to him, even during the war .Again after the war another notification
was
sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the
Major and
his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their
home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Major Fadi
Basem did
not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper
work of
his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my
office
that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.So, Twenty Four
millions
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars($24,500,000,00) is still
lying in my
bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me
most is
that according to the laws of my country at
the expiration 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the
Hong Kong
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop,
my
suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as
the next
of kin to Major Fadi Basem so that you will be able to receive his
funds.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come
out successful. I have contacted my attorney to prepare the necessary
document
that will back you up as the next of kin to Major Fadi Basem , all that
is
required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full
Names
and Address so that the attorney can commence his job.
After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also file
in for
claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of
probate
in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be
provided by
you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to
adopt a
legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning
this
issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank
account we
shall
share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you . Should you be
interested please
send me your full names and current residential address and I will
prefer you
to reach me on the email address below
(chpuiconfidential58@yahoo.com.hk) and
finally after that i shall provide you with more details of this
operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mr. Cheung Pui.
