What is interesting is that reads like an American wrote it. There are some wild stories online documenting people dealings with those Nigerians. In all cases its really folks brought down by their own greed.

When I was around 12 or 13, my best friends parents got a letter in the mail, it was the exact same premise as those 419 emails, but of course it was on paper. I am 36 now, that scam has been around a long time and obviously works really well.

Some people who have actually gone the distance and flown to Nigeria held captive and some were murdered.

If you havent seen it, check out the nigerian music video about the scammers. They think is hilarious. It is kind of a catchy tune.



also a great site for people who like to mess with them:

I absolutely love the hotmail address at the end. Truly wonderful.

this is to much i am busting my guts laughing central bank on hotmail , well done microsoft

oh seems to be great news

what is scary is that the people who fall for these scams have the money to send, how do a fool and his money get together in the first place?

Be sure to check out 419 Eater

You ought to let those guys to reply to them for you, they'll take real good care of 'em

Be sure to check out the Hall of Shame while you're there lol.

Forget about greed. How about just plain stupidity. I think people who fall for this today must have come out of a cave, or have been in a coma for the past umpteen years.

With the amount of money that those people have made off of that scam, and others, I often wonder if the U.S. government isn't behind this too, not just Nigerian officials.

At any rate, it's not only Nigerians who are profiting from these scams, but other criminal entrepreneurs around the world are giving it a try, as well.

10-15 years ago these 419 scam syndicates operated via regular mail, using very official looking exclusive envelopes and luxury paper. That made more people falling in their traps.

I am wondering how they still get victims by using free e-mail accounts. There must be many naive people, otherwise they would not do it.

Best way to handle such scam or spam attempts is to hit the Delete key.

Getting in touch with them is not just waste of time, but it's also dangerous.

About 14 years ago I had a friend who was more greedy than wise, and he got into such a game, he set up bank accounts, made contracts, paid a fortune to lawyer ant to notary for the agreements, a lot more for the confidence man's URGENT expenditures, as air flight, hotel, etc. and he went to Nigeria where he ended up kidnapped. Hey, these Nigerian syndicate guys aren't scrupulous at all! They want to squeeze out everything out of their victims! My friend was just lucky that he escaped alive.

Not a joke!

It's a pity Nigerian government doesn't really do anything against these badass guys.

Remember, best way to handle is just ignore and don't reply. Delete.

Some years ago l worked in shipping and lived and worked in appa near lagos for two years, we had to be escorted everywhere we went, we were told not to wear watches or jewerlly of any kind as they are all thieves and would slit your throat without a thought.

You look for a little understanding of the ways and nature and they have a tradidtion over there called dashing, dashing in our world means a backhander or brown envelope of cash to take you to the next stage if business.

They have what they call secret police over there and if you fail to dash them, give them money then you'll find yourself locked up in kri kri their own form of alcatrass, the moral is do not do business with any nigerian not even a dead one
