Thanks for the link.

4. Scam? They're not scams...

I'll be getting my $30 million as soon as Mr. Charles Embuto can escape from jail and sign the check. And all I had to do was let him use my bank account and send him a paltry $60,000.

You people are SO cynical here.

The only suckers--er, ones I hope who fall for those are republicans with money to burn.

5. He got the scammer to send a PICTURE of himself?

I hope he was denounced to the proper authorities then.

7. Doubt it....

The authorities in Africa are too corrupt, and aren't too internet savy.

8. Yes!!

Several years ago, I got my first one. I cannot believe people are actually scammed by that!! I LOVE that link you posted! Hysterical!

9. For anyone who wants to scam the scammers...

I was emailing one of those people back and forth for about a month. It's pretty funny, and takes very little time since all you need in your response is: "Please send me more information. I'm very interested". But just beware that once you blow your cover, be prepared for a bunch of virus filled emails. They get kinda pissy when you string them along for a month and then tell them to fuck off.

12. How should I respond to this one I received?

"Dimensional warp Generator Needed o

Hello,

I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment:
I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redirect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way
that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference.

After unit has been sent please email me at: [e-mail]
with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

Thank You"

14. ask if you can have some of their grass

[htuttle]

17. I've gotten that one too

Baffling!!

15. You mean they are scams??? n/t

16. Tres cool

I've had so many of those damned letters that I just forward them on to the Treasury Dept. They take care of them from there. It's scary to know some people are so damned greedy that they fall for many of those things. And now the scam has spread out so much that it's just about everywhere. :\
