Somebody has to tell these guys that their scam is about as fresh as a Fog Hat concert.

My suggestion would be for people to include a small section in their ad where it states that we are aware of these scams. Once they see that we are on to their games they will take their scams somewhere else.

.....

My favorite reply to them was:

If you like to play games, try playing “hide and go f@*k yourself”.

You know, I have read the various posts regarding these guys and I thought of something. Someone here who is fairly proficient might be able to figure out where these emails are coming from based on the IP headers.

Is there anyway one could get this info and report these illegitimate sons to THEIR government if our government can’t do anything?

That would be cool if someone could pull that off.

scam long ago. Goto www.bustedupcowgirl.com and check out the Instant Message conversation as well as other things. It is very interesting.

Bob

did not come.

The first check was from millenium chemicals in Texas for $14,800
and the second one was from a trust company for the amount of 99,185.25

Talked to the guy from Nigeria today to confirm that I received the check. Funny stuff.

I think Im going to start collecting these checks....LOL.

I must be bored!!!!

Hey Eric.... Do a "google" for "ebola monkey man". This guy has tons of fun with the Nigerian scammers. He is just giving them back a dose of what they attempt to do to us each and every day.

way cool, sounds like we could all have some fun with them and cost them money, even if it's only the cost of a bogus check, postage and their time!!
