OMG!!!!!!

YOU'RE SOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!! ;) :rofl3:
i know! here's my generous response:\

sweet,,,just take the 50 bucks out of my 900,000 thousand...as a matter of fact take an extra hundred and just send me my check for $899,850
thanks

Haha......clever :)

Too bad you'll probably never hear from them again....or you may get an explanation as to why that cannot be done, and that it's required for you to send a check or cash....

It's sad that people do *actually* send it though
 
haha its def a nigerian 419 scam. I actually know someone that fell for a variation of it, although to his credit it was a more clever variation. I once received one and played along, then when they asked for the money so that I could obtain my millions from customs, I told them they had to send me money so I could unfreeze one of my bank accounts, and then I would be able to give them the money they need to get the transaction completed, never heard from them again haha.
 
nice! i responded to a spammer once. i may go see if i can dig up my response on another forum i post in.
 
lmao i got like 100 calls from a private number with a arab accent saying I wont 5 million,BUT I need to send $1,500 TO SHIP the money on the "jet".
LMao I mean come on! Who ships money..... They always called me on restricted but I have a service Called TrapCall on my phone where it unblocks them.
 
LOL..you guys are all dumb for falling for that..I got 100,000,000 from a Nigerian Prince. I just need to send him my bank acount info for a electronic deposit. I told him I prefer a check..1 of the big ones like in Happy Gilmore.

Hello,

Please do not take offense to this but I know that your letter is a scam. I see a lot of these types of letters. Honestly, that is OK with me. I need the help of someone like you. Maybe you and I can work together on a project that I guarantee will make you more money than 20 years of scam letters.

I work as a maintenace person for a group that does geological surveys in Namibia. Being the maintenance person, I have the keys to every building and every room here. A few weeks ago, I was working in one the buildings and found that money is stored there. I did not take the time to count it, but I could clearly see that there was several hundred thousand dollars.

I can easily get my hands on this money but I cannot leave with it. It would be obvious who took it if I disappeared at the same time the money did. What I need is a partner, someone who can physically pick up this money, get it far away from here, and hold onto to it for about a month or two until I can meet with them and divide it up.

I have written to a couple other people like you about this. All they do is ask me to send them money. They act like common beggars. I do not need a beggar. I need a partner.

You interested?
