1. I got Nigerian scam letters
that asked me to send them my home phone number so they could contact me. What I did was look up the number for the FBI and I sent them that as my number and told them I was really interested and please call me right away. I got a good laugh thinking of the expression on their faces when they called what they thought was some dupe's number and got someone saying "FBI, how may I help you"! Hahahaha :bounce:

4. Do you have the header for the e-mail.
Post it and I will find out where it was sent from.

7. DO NOT CLICK ON THAT E-MAIL!
It's a total scam ... if you even go to their site you could be in trouble. Check out the REAL citibank website to find out what could happen to you.

8. I'm working with a group of scam busters,
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 07:01 PM by RebelOne
so if you could provide complete header from the e-mail, I could tell you which country it is from. It does not necessarily have to come from Nigeria because right now these scammers are working from other countries.

And if you want to f**k with them, go to http://www.419eater.com. This group will give you some great tips.
