FUCK OFF this scammer. She is contacting an Indian and asking him not to behave as one. WTF!!

I get them all the time, From the defense minister to the el presidente. I can't believe that anyone would take this seriously.

she sounds sweet.hee hee.It seems that scammers have developed their e-mail to new heights.scam2.0,i think.

Dude that's totally legit GO FOR IT!

...

LOL at

"Assure me that you will not behave like the man from INDIA whom I trusted and transferred the sum of $500,000.00 to his account on 18th January 2010 to assist the poor of people of HAITI. Since after he received this $500,000.00"

Oh man! I receive messages like that everyday on my facebook email. Tons of emails are scattered on facebook. I think they scrape those emails and mass send scam messages.

I get these all the times. I don't know how many stories they try like Queen of Nigeria wants to send you 10000000 dollars, you have won a 4000000 lottery in Australia yada yada.

All I know is that these guys actually get alot of people to reply to their shit and get ripped off.

Unfortunately, people fall for these kinds of scams every day.

A former coworker of mine got something like this, and totally fell for it. Supposedly a relative of her's (who she had never met) died and willed her the equivalent of 10 mill USD if British Pounds. The catch was, she had to open a "bank account" in the UK, with a $2000 deposit, so they could deposit the 10 mill into the account.

Well, she fell for it and lost 2 grand. Goes to show how gullible people can be.

So, imaging a 1:100.000 conversion and see how much they profit.

We all know these scams are well organized.
Every new angle is tested before it leaves the drawing board.

Only problem is that their CEO (who is also the owner) writes their copy...and he insists on it.

I found a picture of their HQ.
Behind the desk you see him.....Mr. Copywriter himself.
(rumor goes he also wrote the script for 23 Nigerian sci-fi movies)

king mumbasa still owes me the 500k i sent him last month.

Scam letters always make me laugh. I wonder who would fall for these...

The funniest thing was the amount:

$7,500,000.00 Million US dollars

That's $7,500,000,000,000.00

XD XD LOL!!!!
on a more serious note..comparing the intellectual capacity of the people residing in various corners of the earth who have access to the internet atleast 30% of them fall for it due to them being absolutely ignorant.
probability wise the scammers success ratio is atleast 2:100-150(minimum possible mathematically)
in other words $$$$$$ if they have good inboxing rate.
still is sad that some people fall for it

You should take a look at 419eater.c0m for a laugh.
These guys are professionals at playing the scammers at their own game & sending them on 'safaris' hundreds or sometimes thousands of miles from home in the hope of collecting a huge payout from some unsuspecting victim.
The only problem is reading their threads is addictive - you can easily lose a whole day of work once you start

True, that's where I got the pic in my post.

They have them pose with all kinds of messages or subjects.

One is with a guy holding a loaf of bread on his head...

Interview with one of these scammers

John(scammer): Maybe 9 or 10 out of every thousand emails. Then maybe 1 out of every 20 replies would lead to us getting money out of the victim in the end.
