Today I actually got a Nigerian scam from SCOTLAND!

DEAR: FRIEND.

I AM MR SCOTT WILLIAMS I AM 15 YEARS OLD I LIVE IN INVERISS SCOTLAND (UK) BEFORE MY FATHER DIE, NOW I LIVE WITH MY MOTHER IN LONDON (UK) MY FATHER IS FROM INVERISS SCOTLAND (UK) AND MY MOTHER IS FROM LONDON (UK). MY LATE FATHER MR WILLIAMS WAS A CONTRACTOR IN INVERISS SCOTLAND (UK) BEFORE HE DIE IN A CAR ACEDENT LAST YEAR MAY 3RD 2002. HE LEFT $155m (One Hundred And Fivty Five Million dollas) IN HIS ACCOUNT BEFORE HE DIE. THE $155M IS IN THE (ALLIED TRUST MERCHANT BANK (UK) I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COLLECT THE MONEY IN (ALLIED TRUST MERCHANT BANK (UK) BUT THE MD CEO MR MIKE SLATER TOLD ME TO LOOK FOR SOME BODY THAT IS OLD ENOUGH WHO WILL HELP ME COLLECT THE MONEY. I COULD HAVE TOLD MY MOTHER TO COLLECT THE $155M BUT MY MOTHER AND FATHER HAS DEVOURSE BEFORE MY FATHER DIE AND I DONT EVEN WANT MY MOTHER TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

It goes on like that for a while. Those sneaky, thieving fifteen-year-old Scottish boys and their Scottish scam o’shanters!

Looks like a damned form letter!

chuckles One of the unit secretaries got the Nigerian scam in her e-mail this morning:

“Dear Sir:
<snip>
I have read your profile…<snip>”

And here she was muttering about “Profile? What profile?” until I pointed out that if they really had a profile on her, they wouldn’t have said “Dear Sir”.

So wow! Not only is she going to get a lot of $$$, she’s going to get a sex change also! Wooot! (Which is really going to dissapoint her boyfriend, unless they use some of the extra cash to get him a sex change also!)

How come the scottish kid sounded like a jamaican? And why are all the scam letters in all caps? Like you’re going to take something more seriously if the person is type/yelling at you…

Whoever wrote this (UK) must have based their “research” (UK) on the writings of A.A. Milne (UK). Reading it, I kept thinking of the dormouse who wanted to sleep in his bed of delphiniums (blue) and geraniums (red).

Or is it a subliminal message?

Maybe it was written by Mr. Mackey, the drug addiction counselor on South Park.

Drugs are bad (UK). You folks shouldn’t do those Nigerian scams (UK).

I make 2500.oo a week in my spare time, just wait till I quit my job and go full time…

Like you’re going to take something more seriously if the person is type/yelling at you…

Hehe thats what I always thought. It just seems bizare to me that someone would give the impression of yelling, about their secret deal. I get a mental picture of a street scam artist on a busy street, leaning against a car, looking around nervously, who suddenly starts screaming to somebody, “HEY! OVER HERE BUDDY! I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU! BUT DON’T TELL ANYBODY! IT’S A BIG SECRET! JUST FOR YOU, GUY!”. Gives me a little giggle at least .
