OMG!!! Where do I sign up?!?!?!?!? I can haz $80 million dollars?!?!?!

:roll:

I used to get fake checks in the mail from various people from time to time, addressed to me and not even written in Engrish. I used to have fun making confetti out of them.
 
Isn't it a fact now that if anything that mentions Nigeria is a scam? Email servers should just filter any email that has Nigeria in it.
 
I can simplify this really easy.

If you ever get a email with the word nigeria in it, its a scam. Even if you know someone in nigeria and they send a email with the word nigeria in it, its still a scam.

Oh right, I've heard of one that says it's from the USPS talking about a package that supposedly comes for you. And the attachment is just some stupid virus.
 
Of course there's nothing to do in Nigeria but this and dodging AIDS. I would like to know how successful they've been with these scams over the years. How many elderly have fallen for this like they do with the scams they get in their snail mail.

The one that always gets the elderly is the one where they get control of your phone or email and send out a message that you're stuck overseas and you desperately need money wired to you. Older people come from a time when you could put a little more trust into communications sent your way. For better or worse, the younger generation is far more cynical on all levels.

I think they just take advantage of senile people that probably don't even know what fucking day it is. My grandfather doesn't fall for that shit. Some guy called him the other day wanting money for people with cancer, so he says "I have cancer, how much am I going to get?" and the guy on the other end just said "Well, er, uhm..." and then hung up.
 
I can always tell because its to undisclosed recipients when it says its clearly addressed to you.

I almost want to contact them and try to trick there ass into giving some money to me or send them a hot bag of poop.

I'm pretty sure the existence of Nigeria is the biggest scam of all.
