It's practically copied word for word. They didn't even try any fancy banners this time.

I think it's all a matter of probability - if they spam enough people with this stuff, there must be someone in the world stupid enough to fall for it, and one person is enough.

Still, it's a shame they're pretty much word for word. I like my spam varied.

Have any of you ever tried to respond to one of these guys?

This is from The Chaser's War on Everything, a popular Australian satire show. Damn good.

I still bet though that someone out there falls for it. 🙁

Three times in the last month. They seem so sincere!

I remember this blogger once did the same thing and requested for pictures of the Nigerian scammers with funny hats on 😀

He actually got them to send pictures 😀

This planet is saturated with spam. Internet, TV... hell, even want ads in the newspaper. No sir, I do not believe I can make $1000 a week assembling refrigerator magnets from my home. 🙄

I responded once, telling they guy I could get him the information he needed but I required.... I can't remember.... an official seal or something, before I could act. He responded saying he would get back with me!

Never heard from him again. But I got more spammers since they knew it was a "live" address now.

That 419 forum is HYSTERICAL! If I had more time I'd jump on it and start messing with the spammers.

I'm so lucky, not a week goes by that I haven't won over a million dollars in a lottery based that you are automatically entered in every time you send an email. 😀

Not long ago,i heard a story on the news about some woman who sent her life's savings,over $400,000 to one of these scum.

It's sad that people can be so naive.
