I HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO IT...I am just curious about its origin. Anybody know?

[dirtboy]

Gee, I don't know, meandog, it could be legit...

Just kidding. This is one of the most notorious e-mail scams going.

[Alberta's Child]

This is the oldest scam on the books -- I'm surprised it's still making the rounds.

I'm not surprised, however, whenever I hear that there are a lot of people on this planet who are dumb enough to fall for these things.

Nigeria makes a large portion of its money from these SCAMS.


Do not respond or do anything. It's a BIG TIME SCAM. Nigerians specialize in that(not all, just these scams are run by them)

Congratulations. You are the last person in the United States to receive this scam letter.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

These messages are from Nigeria. Hundreds go out everyday.

[EggsAckley]

Total scam. I get one or two of these a month. First time I've seen a woman's name, though.

[Catspaw]

Yeah, it's the standard Nigerian scam. They used to do it by mail. Now they e-mail the crap. You can count on your bank accounts being cleaned out if you respond to them.

[Spiff]

Geez! Who hasn't received this email spam dozens of times? Delete it.

[Chemist_Geek]

Forward that e-mail, with all headers intact, to the Secret Service. Their e-mail address for that is "419.fcd@usss.treas.gov". This is an example of "Section 419 Fraud," a scam run out of some central African countries.

[Redbob]

POSSIBLE scam?

It IS from Nigeria, all right, and this cr*p has been flooding the U.S. for months now.

Send her a polite note - or do like me and tell her exactly what you think of "her."

[Alberta's Child]

I'm also willing to bet that the name "Chike Egobia" translates to "go f#ck myself" in Swahili or some such language.

SCAM!

This is an old one.

[rface]

where should I send my bank account numbers to?

[mhking]

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!
This has come about after much badgering by you, my friends and extended family...

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

And... YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY WON A KOOL 1,000,000,000.00 - do you want to know for sure? Well... just give me a couple of days so that I could set my 900 number. Then you dial that number and... it will tell you the absolute truth.

Do a Google search on "Nigerian scam." You'll come up with about 21,000 hits.

You might also want to ask Ms. Grace Ita why someone with so much money in a secret bank account would insist on living in a country where the people still pee in their drinking water.

[Redleg Duke]

I got this a couple of weeks ago and file-thirteened it.
