I just got a Nigerian scam offer via my Freepmail. The writer offered me 10% of a fortune if I would let him send it to my account.

I checked his posting name and he has no posts. What do I do?

I'd forward it in a freepmail to the Admin Moderator, and Jim Robinson. I'm sure he/she will be removed.

Given that the odds of it paying off for you are better than the odds of your ever getting social security, I say go for it.

Scamorama.com also toys (hilariously) with those "Lads from Lagos."

Does it start out something like this??
------------------------------------

from: "Mr.Chigozie Ubani." ubani03@katamail.com

Dear Friend.
From: Chigozie Ubani
Tel: 234-802-496-3191

Dear Friend,

I apologise for contacting you in such a surprising manner but I want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax mail and I respectfully insist you read this mail carefully as I know it will help us all.

I am Mr.Chigozie Ubani the younger brother of Mr. Chima Ubani who was killed in a car accident on the 21ST of September 2005 in Nigeria. He was the Executive Director of the Civil Liberties Organization. Following his death which was allegedly masterminded by the government of the day because of his statements and actions about the excesses of this government and past ones.Anyway, after his death we set up a foundation which has been collecting funds on behalf of his family.Presently we have reached an uncomfortable amount of USD6.4M which we now want to transfer out of our country.

Because of the feeling of the government towards my brother even before his death, the funds meant to be realised from this foundation was willed to his wife Mrs.Ochuwa Ubani, myself and a foreigner yet to be provided which is where we want you to come in. I want to present you as the final beneficiary of the funds so that we will pay the funds to you and thereby release the funds from here. If there is any information you need from me then let me know. We need to process a couple of legal documents to legalise the payment before its done and all will be set to leave. Presently the fund is with a commercial bank over here.

(snip)
