They really cut to the chase on that one. I normaly get a huge story about how all these people died and the money is stuck in an account, and my name happens to be the the same as who ever made the account and then died. Ther'er all pretty funny I think

I do not think I have EVER laughed so much in my entire life.I managed to wake my wife up from a sound sleep and now have a splitting migraine from laughing so hard,but it was worth it.Thanks a million.

Oh linda mugu would be the equivalent of you scum sucking piece of maggot ridden dog sh! T in nigerian it is almost always garunteed to get a rise out of the sender put it this way i was averageing 7 of those emails daily now i just call them mug and include the link to that website im down to about 1 a day im guessing a good way to avoid them would also be to only allow registerd users to reply to your ads but i think that may be detrimental to business
