I received this scam offer via my Freep mail...be on the look out.

Feel free to email Ms Helena with any thoughts you have on this...

OPINION:

Do not respond to scammer/spammer email.
Report it and/or delete it.
That's the way to handle scams.

Fyi.

Ms. Helena?

"Did they get our message, John?"

"I hope so, Helena-I used our Nigerian code!"

[garylmoore]

Anyone that would fall for a scam like this deserves to get what the get.

[backhoe]

Just forward it to the mods and delete it.

Hi From frfrfrfr | 03/14/2007 6:12:41 AM EDT new I am not a scamer, be careful on your words May God help you Helen

No, no -- never respond to a spammer scam. In fact, it was a booboo to put this up on a thread.

This thread needs to be pulled, sorry.

These people are scum and need to be visited by frogmen and left to cool slowly in the flaming wreckage of their spammer operations centers.

She's been trying for at least a couple years now.

[BigSkyFreeper]

She's apparently deaf, and miraculously aged 2 years since last April.

I saw a great website last year about a guy in the UK who turned the spam thing around and got them to send him all sorts of hand carved woodcrafts for free using the same techniques they did. It was really brilliant... I'll post the link if I can find it.

You mean I shouldn't have sent her the money?

[nh1]

You blew it, didn't you read the email. You'll never get the money now.

NOTE: THIS TRANSACTION NEEDS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY FOR SECURITY REASONS.

At least the scams over at Match.com have pictures of pretty young ladies 25 years my junior.
These are model quality pictures!
Have received 3 of those this week.
They tell you to contact them outside of "Match" and then the stories get strange.
Don't get me wrong, Match screens these as best they can, but it happens.
Mostly legitimate "Matches" over there.

[irishtenor]

Dear Ms. Helena, what you have are not African artifacts but instead pictures of dead United States Presidents and Founding Fathers. They are to be returned to the United States IMMEDIATELY! They have been lost for many years now and the entire country (minus a few NFL quarterbacks) have been searching for them all over the place. Please contact Special Agent Ethan Hawke of the FBI as soon as you finish reading this message. NOW.

[Rte66]

Did every single FReeper get one of these, or are some of us "special"? Like, do I have "maroon" stamped across my screen name?

[ArrogantBustard]

But God knows the truth!

There's a novelty ... an actual true statement in a 411 scam letter.
