Mr Abossi.

Good to hear from you so soon. I haven't slept since our last exchange (this is PRIMO f-in crank, dog) and I am bit keyed up to do all the financial legwork right now, but I would love to stop sweating and think clearly for just a moment.

I toast the deaths of those other, non important people, and look forward to the wealth their suffering will bestow upon me. I will eagerly await your reply and that of your colleague, Dr. Osama Bin Bello or whatever you call him. So *cheers* to looting the fortunes of the dead. I think my cut should be more than 40%.

Hell if it is honesty you want, I am your man. I told a complete stranger about my meth lab, didn't I? I'll trust you and your crazy friends to be cool, dig? Now lets get this dead bastard's cash and pop a cork of champagne with some sluts.

Mr. Zuni

1. Oh Man, that's frikkin' hilarious!

Maybe he'll get the picture that you maybe, (maybe) didn't believe him!

[Zuni]

6. hmmmm

where would he get that idea?

[valis]

2. but first... You have to pay certain fees out of your pocket

Say $500 because their money is all tied up... They'll send a link to some fake bank where you can make the payment.

3. Here is what I sent him:

Dear Mr Abossi,
Count me in! I'm about to go bankrupt, so whatever money you can give me would work. Currently I'm in therapy for a a certain form of mental illness, but I'm sure that would not prevent our deal to go through. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Sincerely,

Pino Chio

4. Pino Chio that is too funny

and how long is your nose today, Woody?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH

[Zuni]

7. you are sending him stuff?

[Rowdyboy]

5. It just gets better!

Can't wait for his reply...

[Zuni]

8. I am having too much fun with this myself

[Maine-ah]

9. LOL

I have received quite a few of the Nigerian scams. I had posted an item for sale on a local message board. The person than inquired about my item, wanted to buy it without looking at it first, AND asked if they could send me a money order/check for over $1,000 more than the item I was selling, and send them the "change". :rofl:

Since then, I've been receiving similar letters to the one you posted above, but with really bad broken english. Though I never would have thought of fucking with them. I called the sheriff's dept instead. I guess I'll follow in your footsteps for the next letter I receive.

10. it is not like your local sheriff can really do much

you would need interpol

so just enjoy the hilarious 419 scammers
