Nigerian Roommate scam?

This is how I responded, with the Fester picture attached.

You should tell her to send a pic of herself holding a sign that says “I burning your dog” on it.

Haha. I’ll try and work that into the next reply.

Fun and funny scam-baiting at this web site http://www.419eater.com/

There are now Nigerian scams masquerading as IRS refund notices.

And here’s a link to an article in the New Yorker about a self help lecturer who got totally played by these guys. Even after he was informed he was being investigated he was sending them money and cashing their phony checks. He just had to help those poor Nigerians. :rolleyes:

We might as well just start assuming “Nigeria” = “Scam”

Scameria? Niscamia? Any other ideas?

Yeah, and aren’t they on to the fact that we’re on to them? Nigeria?
At least come up with some other country, like maybe Algeria. Common scammers, get creative for once!

Be careful what you wish for - all of the recent scam emails I’ve been getting are from Sierra Leone or Zambia!

The tip-off is this part:

Since when can the IRS process *anything * in less than a month?

I gotta’ say, I’d laugh like hell if your dog mailed the uncashed money orders back to the nice man from overseas.

There’s even one from Iraq, supposedly penned by one of our men in camouflage.
