I get one of these about twice a week. If I’m in the mood, I send them a phone number to call me: Please contact me at (617) 742-5533 (FBI). I cannot imagine anyone actually thinking this is real, but apparently they do get people to send them money.
These people in Nigeria have just won the Ig Nobel Awards for literature link here .
If you’ve got some free time you can always try a spot of scam-baiting. This is my favourite site:- 419 Eater . Lots of funny pictures and ridicules scenarios.
I never click on links in email, unless it is from someone I know. Unless of course, that person is my mother, who continually sends me chain letters and urban legends.
That would be most impressive if I could get them to send me some of their ill-gotten gain. I’m almost tempted to stroll down to the local Wells Fargo and open another account for the purpose.
