I reckon it's only a matter of time for a few to get busted, they'll catch them.

Some countries like China catch them fast, even in internet cafe's!

Yah, but most are in smaller places that do not have a very stable government, like Nigeria. Anything coming from here stateside would be shut down in a few days.

olyman

the ones they hook, are the people that are new to the internet, and a lot of these are older folk. who trust everyone, which the world aint no more

Eric Frei

What about bloody spam on ya mobile phone, keep getting stupid sms messages, frig that really peeves me off! And when you return the sms it bounces .... I tell ya, the more gadgets ya got the more bloody telemarketers and spammers you gotta screen.

I still recall the days of getting home to see 30 sheets on the floor from ya fax! So I used to leave only 2 sheets in.

Makes you wonder, in the old days before internet, mobile phones etc people still functioned OK. You have an electrician or plumber at ya house now and he spends half his time on the phone!

Got a new one today from some fellow in Nigeria, claiming that a relative of mine with the same last name died. Fellow had 20 million dollars and no heirs, and the fellow was looking for a relative to collect the money.

Gee, and I tossed it into the bit bucket on my computer. Maybe I should have followed through...

I mean, 20 MILLION DOLLARS!

Eric Frei

$20 million BUCKS, and I'm Mr Windthrown the 3rd so please forward that to me. LOL

Mr Ekka!

I be the pleasing to introduce myselves. I am the leading minister of Botwana attourneys, and I have in my posession the will of a Mr Tree Ekka. However, if you are actually Mr Windthrown III, related to Mr Windchunder Sr., I can deal with that estate as well. As it happens, a Mr Windchunder has also dies, and left me in the charge of 2 Million US dollars, as well as Mr Ekka, who left the sum of 2.3 Millions of dollars (AU).

All I be needing from you is the sum of 2,000 US deposited into my Paypal account and I can proceed to delivering you the wills and papers for depositing the 2 and 2.3 Millions of dollars into your accounting. Much rush is needed on this issue, as there may be other relatives in waiting for these sums of monies as well. You must be the depositing first of these monies to be the only relative too be get the entire inherited combined estate.

Kind regarding,

-Mutombuno Arakaiba

Dearest in the Lord Windthrown,

My name is Mrs angela ebigbo nationality of Kuwait. I am married to late. Mr James Ebigbo who worked with Kuwait embassy in IvoryCoast for nine years before he died in the year Octorber 2004. We were married for twenty years with a child. He died after a the illness that lasted for long four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of $10 Million(ten Million U.S. Dollars) with one of good banks here in Cote d'Ivoire, Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke,

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in, I want a person or church that will use this fund to churches, orphanages, research centres and widows propagating the word of Godand to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit this money but my son can not carry out this work only because i and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our son johnsen to have a better live , our son is just 19 yearold now and been grow up in africa, he have low mentality and my husband?s relatives are not Christians and I don?t want my family hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don´t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision,I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I want your telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my family relatives around me always , I don't want any of my husband family relatives to recieve this money. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Mrs angela ebigbo
