This particular scam has so many retreads it could scaresly be called a tire any more.

[AppyPappy]

We all have gotten it. Big deal.

[Riley]

Another 419 scammer gets in. This happens from time to time. Looks like he's already been nuked.

[who knows what evil?]

Tell him "no deal". Subsequent offers will be larger.

My Mother is aged.She is 62 years now, an old Woman. I have five younger ones.

Now that is a dam* good trick.

[Fierce Allegiance]

My father diverted some huge amount of money which he deposited with one good bank called BANK when he was alive.

Now that is a good name for a bank!

"This particular scam has so many retreads it could scaresly be called a tire any more."

What? It's a scam? I've already sent him a donation.

[SandRat]

Is Al Gore soliciting campaign funds again??? Sheesh! Won't he ever quit!!!!!!

[uglybiker]

$3 million? That's nuthin'!

Lookee what I'm in for a piece of! ;-)

[Riley]

Reminds me of Steve Martin's bit about 'Fred's Bank'.

In Rio Vista, CA there was a bank that gave me a chuckle whenever I'd drive by it; "The Bank of Alex Brown".

[Tijeras_Slim]

I and the rest of my family have decided to gratify you

Hmmmmmm.....

[Ax]

SOME of us do not consider 62 to be aged or old!

[listenhillary]

My name is Dainey peter I and the rest of my family have decided to gratify you

I think I'll pass if you don't mind.

[T'wit]

You are having altogether too much fun reading this closely :-)

[GreenAccord]

You know, it's about time we turned this scam around on the Nigerians. They obviously have the internet, so we need to think of a similar, opposite-polarity, scam-a-rama-ding-dong.

What about the funneling of money out of the US to avoid onerous taxation. All we need is a friendly, trustworthy Nigerian to cash an (a)merican [sic] money order, from Westeern [sic] Union, keep 8%, and send us back the remainder, in American dollars, of course.

Is this how these types of frauds are conjured up, anyway?

[Old Professer]

"Dainty Peter??" Little Pr!ck would be more like it.

[listenhillary]

My Mother is aged.She is 62 years now, an old Woman. I have five younger ones.

What a bunch of mothers!!!

[T'wit]

>> We are all leaving in COTE D'IVOIRE since the past six months.

Boy, talk about your long good-byes.

[Riley]

One shouldn't respond to these people, even to tell them to buzz off- except where you have a disposable e-mail expressly for the purpose.

With that in mind, I am tempted to insist that if I am such a 'trusted individual of good character' that they'd consider a business transaction of this sort with me over the internet- then they can do it on my terms, or not at all. After all, I'm supposed to be doing *them* the favor. Send a check for the entire amount to this (disposable) PO Box. If the check flies (it won't, nor will it ever be sent), then I will cut the sender in for the agreed amount. If they claim that they need money to grease palms and pay fees, I'd point out that *they're* the ones sending me photographs of steamer trunks full of hundred-dollar bills. Pay them out of that.

Call their bluff.

It amazes me that anyone at all falls for this stuff.
