The "Nigerian" scam.

[mart]

I've given up sending rude replies, they never get delivered.
I'm now trying the "I'm interested, please tell me more" tack and so far, no-one has.
You can't win.

I don't think they're interested in hearing anything from you except your name and bank account number.

I got a variation on the theme about six months back. Someone saying, "Hey, your credit card is being used by someone else. Send us the number so we can check it out."

[Deuce Bigolo]

To think that there are people who actually reply

Scary world

They rely on the old Phineas T. Barnum(1810-1891) maxim. "There's a sucker born every minute."

LOL at Steve.

They reckon every day in London there are 2-3 people being fleeced by these crooks. Truly amazing that anyone believes this shash. Suckers the lot of them.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I know there are a lot of people who will fall for this, but why do so many of them seem to have 10's, even 100's of thousands of cash to "invest".

I can't see how someone who has the ability and business acumen to make a lot of money from a sucessful business, can so easily be fooled.

Apparently so.
The funniest, I think, was two of your, ahem, fellow Americans who arrived in Edinburgh only to find the address was a take-away.
Stupidity and greed know no frontiers.........
