Jimbo 0 #3 December 9, 2002 Actually, I think you can forward those emails off to the FBI, or maybe the Secret Service. One of those governemt agencies anyway wants to hear about them as they are asking you to launder money for them. I think anyway. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

narcimund 0 #4 December 9, 2002 No, this isn't a laundering scheme. It's much simpler than that. It's a standard con: They entice you with potential riches, but unfortunatly need just a small amount, say, about the size of your life savings, to initiate the transaction. That's why most of the emails include something like "40% for you and 40% for us and the remaining 20% will cover incidental expenses incurred by both parties." A friend of mine went through with the entire thing while wired and observed by the FBI. In the end he handed $15,000 over to the Nigerians while armed agents watched through a fake mirror. The Nigerians left with the money with promises to be "right back with the millions, really!" The FBI took them away. My friend's story was written up in Money magazine, if you want the full text.

Guest #7 December 9, 2002 I've seen a website where people were having fun by jerking the Nigerians around. One of the people set up the scammer by pretending to travel to Nigeria, and kept it up all the way through. he eventually said that he was now in Nigeria, and the he would meet the scammer at a specific location and a specific time in Lagos, and told the scammer "Just so I'm sure that it's you, flap your arms and run around and cluck like a chicken."

nacmacfeegle 0 #18 December 10, 2002 Trent, I was going to suggest spamming the guy back....Entering his e-mail all over the place in the way that is likely to encourage spam. Registering at porn sites etc etc etc..... But the wee tale you posted was way funnier! Nice one my son, as we say in Wales..Hope things are going well for you over there in Oklahoma.

ernokaikkonen 0 #19 December 10, 2002 I wonder if you could manage to con the travel-money out the nigerians? And if you con the con-artists, would that be called "recon"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
