Congratulation

Yours Truly

[sd1981]

I'm always winning lotto from countries I've never been to or even heard of.... I'm the luckiest guy in the world... But when I ask them to send me an aeroplane ticket and I'll pay them back when I get over there to sort out the winnings, communication ceases, sad really cos they should know I'm good for it, I mean, I just won $11million Tanzanian dollars...

 

[saintanger]

i'm always winning lotto, getting money of dead people i don't know ect i muck around with some just to waste their time like they do mine.

 

[moosenoose]

I wonder who falls for these things :lol: They obviously work, somewhere :lol:

 

[FAY]

Yes, just one out of every 100 that falls for it, makes it worthwhile for them.
Humans can be very easy believers... :shock:

 

[Sel]

Never heard of that one.. shame on you Fay for being alive! The poor guy is out of pocket 3.5mill... gosh!

 

[Stimm]

Wow FAY! Congratulations! Now, can you shout me a cool new morph, like a marble childreni? Thanks

 

[Fuscus]

pass it on and let some people enjoy the internets only bloodsport -> 419 Eater - The largest scambaiting community on the planet!

 

[Justdragons]

there is a vice doco on youtube about them all in Ghana. you should all go watch it.. very interesting.. its like a career path for them.. they even make feature movies about it.. lol

 

[apprenticegnome]

I didn't think anyone I knew would be gullible enough to fall for the beneficiary scam but a family I used to hang around lost thier house by being sucked in. Just goes to show if you dangle a big enough carrot greed makes some people blind.

 

[Fuscus]

This page the 419 Scam: Victims claims in 2008 $3 millon went from Australia to Nigeria.

Also there is a great quote from the Nigerian embassy

There would be no 419 scam if there are no greedy, credulous and criminally-minded victims ready to reap where they did not sow.

 

[Darlyn]

What a shame replying just encourages them. It would be great to reply " you are quite correct, I am in fact dead."

 

[FAY]

Best to ignore I would say Darlyn.
