after all, isn't it illegal for postal services to open mail?

naughty boy needs to go to prison for breaking the law he does.

after all, if someone was mailing me a large cheque I would get pissed if the post office stole it.

No surely not, my missus has already spent the prooceeds, come one you must have buck or two lying about.

Ah ha, lets finance it with a pyramid scheme....

But as you have waited too long and I got a copy of this yesterday and have already sent off the funds It's all mine. :D

That will teach you to wait and miss out. :^0

Does anyone actually believe this BS?

I hope you have enough money in the bank to cover the return of that money to the bank that cashed it and lawyer fees too. NO ONE just gives away money. It's going to cost you more than you got out of it in the long run and possibly some jail time too.

How could someone do that? BTW I got an email from a Nigerian Prince the other day...maybe it is his money?

No guy clearly stated he was from west africa. :p

You have to believe that as he came clean about being a thieving b'stard.

This level of honesty should of course make you much happier about sending a few hundred bucks to him.....

ROFL

I suspect most mail servers use nigeria as a high value word in spam killing algorithms.

I don't want to branch off the topic but the Nigerian scam is just a name because the scam originated in Nigeria. I'm not saying it is a scam, all I'm saying is that if you have read examples of this scam you will see a lot of similarities.

by tony hopkinson

I'll admit. The other ones I've seen a lot.

All scams are the same they offer you something for nothing, an appeal to greed.

From this sort of crap, to a a free alarm clock radio if you buy this unnecessary health insurance....

The alarm clock you can fall for, $600,000 for $220, you'd have to be dumber than the hole in a cow's arse.

They funny!

They turn the tables on the scammers by letting the mugus THINK they have a live one on the line, then get them to spend THEIR money before springing the trap.

by mallardtooxx

Yes there are people out there that fall for it everyday. Otherwise they would not do it.

And I sent my money to the Nigerian Prince, Ha now I get to be the next Prince of Nigeria and I get like 5 bucks! Weeeeeeee
