I've always wondered how many dumb people there are out there who fall for this. Evidently, enough to make it worthwhile.

I want a courier to hand carry this here box to the USA.

(Air Nigeria) But sir, that box weighs 822 kilos! (22,000,000 in cash)

That's all right, I'll just put it on my American Express Card

DavidE - 5-13-2012 at 09:24 AM

Captain Mike, pray tell, seeing all caps acts as an absolute notification does it not?

This was in my email. I am so rich I don't need this woman's wealth passing into and through my bank account. As to her cancer, I am sure God will provide. In the small chance that a good Christian like her will be forsaken, I am passing this wonderful opportunity on to you Nomads. :saint:

My husband and I are true Christian's,we lived all day in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia, since he was working here as a contractor and got share's with Coca cola here, but quite unfortunately,he died in a fire burnt, he was burnt to ashes none of is body was found,Since his death I decided not to re-marry and because of my bad stage of health, I sold all our Inheritance belongings to me and my late husband Johnson and deposited all the total sum of ( $6.8 Million United State dollars) with the Global Financial Security Company Bank Of New York City United States Flushing New york and all our jewelries Diamonds and Golds with a security company My dearest beloved one in Christ can i trust you to distribute our life earns to the Motherless Homes and Churches and Haiti Suffering people ?

I had my boat listed for sale in Kijiji and Craigslist for 1 month. In that time period I had 3 people try to scam me by saying they would buy it but first want my PayPal account number to send me payment.

The local co-op got a letter from Africa ... just last week. I sure was wondering what it was all about and now I know ! I hand delivered it to them since it was sitting in the tienda waiting for someone to grab it. What a waste of time.

DavidE - 5-13-2012 at 12:17 PM

I wonder if "The Church of The Red Breast" counter-scam story is still around. If it is, please read it. It had the phisher in Nigeria sending earnest money to the USA. Others had corroborated this most outrageous of tales. It made me laugh so hard it almost put me in the hospital...

There was one of these e-mails that was going to send me a check.
I contacted the Sheriff's office and we set up a sting.
The check was sent, and the cops figgered that it was fake because you could actually make a copy of it...it did not have the VOID across it(in invisible ink).

Never did catch the person.

DavidE - 5-13-2012 at 12:25 PM

Oh my god, it is! I just Googled it. Found a website a mother-lode it seems of phishing counter-scams.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

"Wow! Hi guys! You wouldn't believe how hard it is finding an internet service out here in the rainforests of Peten, Guatemala. Having a wonderful time discovering fabulous buried Mayan tombs, and the gold mask I found, I simply do not know what to do with it"

Anyone need to wonder why the e-mails I get go directly to my MSN junk folder??

bigmike58 - 5-18-2012 at 04:46 AM

Got another one in today...LOL

I am captain Daniel Anderson with the United Nations troop in Afghanistan, to establishing a new government and the freedom of the people of Afghanistan on war against terrorism, Based on the United States legislative and executive decision that we will start withdrawal from Afghanistan in September 2012.

I found your contact through my search but honestly I don't know you, I need a reliable individual who can assist me. Because of series of killing of United States troops in Afghanistan especially the shot down of US helicopter that killed 30 American soldiers on the 5th of August 2011 and the five American soldiers who were killed by a bomb in Afghanistan on Thursday. After this series of killing I and my colleague decided to share the money we recovered on our raids on terrorist’s camp in Afghanistan. I have now in my possession the sum of $16.2M (Sixteen million two hundred thousand US Dollars) I packaged this money in a box which I deposited with a Red Cross Agents informing them that we are making contact for the real owner of the box and it is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for the box.

I want to invest the money under your care as soon as I leave Afghanistan for a good business anyway you will advise me on that, since I am not a businessperson. I cannot move this money on my own because of that I need someone I could trust. If you accept, I will transfer the money to you where you will be the beneficiary because I am a uniformed person and I cannot be parading with such an amount of money so I need to present someone as the beneficiary. I believe I can trust you.

I am an intelligence officer for that I have 100% authentic means of transferring the money through diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and all is done.

Please if you are interested in the transaction; send me information’s below so that we can go into action. In less than 5days, the money should have been in your position and I will come over for my money. I will give you 30% of the total sum and 70% is for me.

A copy of your passport or drivers license …….………….
Your Address…………………………………………………
Your direct telephone….. …………………………………..

Why am requesting for a copy of your passport or driver’s license is to prepare a document which I will present to the Red Cross officials as the rightful owner of the box.

I wait for urgent response, Reply back on, xxxxxxxxx.mn

Regards,
Capt. Daniel Anderson


Were off to see if the dorado's are biting in Mulege!!!:P

Gotta admit, it beats "90-inch flat panel TV's *$20.00* Guaranteed!", or "Meet Married Horny Women In Your_Area".
