Gotta love these scammers. I'm currently toying with some guy who calls himself "Prince Koko" from somewhere in Africa. He apparently needs help getting his deposed dad's money out of the country and is planning to pay me a handsome handling fee (about 2M). All I have to do is wire 'his accountant' $850 to open an account in my name, into which he can transfer the millions and millions of dollars! Who would have ever thought I could be so lucky?? It's kinda fun, cuz the jerk thinks I'm buying into this crap, and I'm eventually gonna come up with something witty to write when I'm done with him. Makes you lose faith in humanity, don't it?
Shauno,
If you want to be entertained sometime and enjoy humorous reading...check out scamorama.com
These are guys who have already come up with something witty, and they post all the back-and-forth between them and the scammers.
My favorites are the one that includes the Skipper, Gilligan, Mr. and Mrs. Howell, etc. and another with Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred and the Commissioner.
Heck, one guy even scammed one of the Nigerian scammers out of $250 for a non-existent laptop...
good stuff.
