I just got an E-mail through this site that was some lady claiming to live in Africa that needed my help. If you get one of these, DON'T HELP THEM! They're total scam artists that live in Africa who want your money. I saw stories of it on the news. Apparently, they claim to have millions of dollars that need transfered to an American bank account. Don't listen! If they had that much, they can buy a plane ticket. Send them an E-mail back that says to sodomize themselves with a BFK! The entire message I recieved is in bold below.

Nowhere is safe, it seems. This old chestnut has been around for years, and its not every day you see someone getting banned...

[blader_dude0]

lol try it out, but put it in a totaly new bank acount then take the 16.2 mill and leave them with the 10% . i would laugh if someone did this

[Chefelf]

The offending member has had their account suspended. If anyone else gets such emails or PMs (or sees anyone use the board for such things) then notify myself or Carlos 9 and we'll take care of it.

[floppydisk]

Thanks, Cheffers.

Did you not hear, young grasshopper? They have no money. It's a scam. They tell you you need money up front to help (or some shit like that. Any wanker dumb enough to fall for that one should get shot), get you over to Africa, then take all your moneys, then probably rape you and kill you. The news story I saw was an interview with someone lucky enough to escape back to his home country. Plus, Nigeria is the world leader in scamming.

noooo.....

we could have learned more about them...

i'm so sick of these asholios...
i always want to send them a letter back saying..

dear Mutumbo Jumanji,

sorry, my account is full at the moment, turns out congo jack just died and his wife gave me $16 million to hold onto for a few months...

if i put anymore in the tax department may get suss...

tell you what, put the money in a brown paper bag and i'll keep it under my bed...

your sincerily
Barend the widow beater.

[floppydisk]

Well, I sent them a letter telling them I'd rape them with a baseball bat if they talked to me again, but I don't think they'll read it, with being banned and all.

[Mnesymone]

If you just copied the e-mail then there is one blinding clue:
"Abidjan"
Not even a real country.
Azerbaijian is a real country. Abidjan isn't even a species of fish.

[Laughlyn]

Abidjan is a city in the ivory coast..

[Helena]

Yep, I got it as well in a PM. Just a variation on the infamous 'Nigerian Scam'. It's usually done by email, though - I've never seen anyone try it in a forum before.

Well, it's great because it's nice to limit yourself to sending 6 emails at a time rather than sending out 6 million via regular mail.

I bet this has resulted in a lot of cash for our little friend.

[mrtimp]

i keep getting this email in my yahoo box, some russian female saying she is in love with me and read my profile on some singles site (which is bullshit because i dont use them) and needs 1000 dollars so she can come meet me, i mean how many morons actually fall for this load of crap????

[floppydisk]

Enough for them to make a living off of it. Send her an e-mail saying the money's on the way. Attach a virus to the E-mail.

[mrtimp]

I may try that Floppy, thats the best idea i have heard all night

[Laughlyn]

Just as a little warning gentlemen, Spamming a spammer isn't the best of ideas. They send out e-mails to millions of addresses, most of which are inactive\nonexistant. Replying only tells them that you read your mail, and they send you more as a result.

Trust me on this one, it's not worth the headache.
