Email I received today: quote: Hello,I am Jameson Stanley and accountant with states trust bank. I have met with you on several occasion and we exchange contacts. I am banking for the late president of Libya son Mohamed. The wife of the late Libya son Mohamed requested I search for a partner to invest her funds. If you can be a partner and invest her funds secretly then I will transfer the funds to you. What area of investment do you think you can invest $60 million left in her late husband account? 40% will be given to you. You don't need to travel or pay any transfer fee. All I will do is change Mohamed name to your name as the new beneficiary of the funds. Get back to me as soon as possible so that I can process the funds. I am helping Late Mohamed wife because she is very sick and she need to start up good investment with the money in her late husband's account. See attached pictures of her on her sick bed. Regards, Mr. Jameson Stanley
Mr. Stanley gave me quite a laugh.  Anyone else receive anything?  ------------------ "The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind." — Friedrich Nietzsche IP: Logged |

I used to get wacked mail similiar to this from a Mr.Green. According to "Mr. Green", I won the UK lottery and had to send my banking details ar well as £1000 to release the winnings.  The sad part is, there are actually people who fall for these scams even if they know for a fact they never entered any competitions or played overseas lotteries. ------------------ quote: Remember, love can conquer the influences of the planets....It can even eliminate karma.

No idea. Hopefully not too much! quote: The sad part is, there are actually people who fall for these scams even if they know for a fact they never entered any competitions or played overseas lotteries.
Yeah, sounds like wishful thinking. :/ ------------------ "The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind." — Friedrich Nietzsche IP: Logged |

my aunts, bless their souls, were once asking me how to send money abroad (a huge sum mind you). they later let me in on the dealio about a deal they were brokering with a nigerian prince! i nearly fell off my seat laughing!! they were a libra and an aries. i bet the libra got the email. couldn't decide what to do so she told the aries and the aries leaped on it! the scarier one is if they hack ur email and send stuff out. i got one from an antique dealer about how she got stuck in wales and needed money. i knew this antique dealer and she did travel so it was really likely to happen but the msg was generic, not really tailored to the hacked person's image..

I responded to one of those and had fun negotiating an agreement with them. We agreed to meet at the Dorchester Hotel in London on a set date at a prescribed time, but alas I never showed up. I wonder if the said party from Nigeria showed up.IP: Logged |
