Okay, to be more exact, this email scammer is NOT Nigerian, but from Abidjan. However, I do have a few Nigerians "on the hook" as we speak. I'll see how those pan out, and will post them on my site if they turn out any good.

I've got one on the hook that is from Amsterdam, and a few emails from Taiwan and China (The Chinese guy seems to be quite intelligent, and as a result is kinda hard to bait)
No pictures yet, either :( I am hoping to get one mugu to drive 40 miles to another city to meet me, though >:)
My mugu had to fly to another city to pick up his money from a Western Union office, only to get stranded there (no money to get back) and had to call for help from his fellow scammer to get him back home. I have as of yet to get a picture of either one of them, but I'm trying.
If it's real, it's classic. If it's Photoshopped, it's still priceless!

The above clearly 'deplains' you are dealing with artistic talent, lowbridge. That letter of provenance should be all you need....
Fantasic work...simply, fantastic.
I just wish you could have found a way to insert my favorite compound noun, "man-boobies", into that picture.
Absolutely priceless.
Thanks for the ping! It was ALL funny, and I particularly enjoyed this little gem...LOL!
"Though, I am glad that you sent me the photograph of the money. Had you not done that, I would have accused your lawyers of trying to scam me out of my share of this deal. It helps to serve as a reminder that the money exists."
My apologies, thank you for your kind words about my little miracle.
Gloria with panties or a jock strap or whatever on her head was pretty dang funny too!!!!! (Iraqis would call that abuse!!!)
Yep. :-) And I don't have to feed or walk mine. No vet bills too.
Just brilliant. The US Secret Service should put you on their payroll.
Oh geez, FRiend! You don't have to apologize!
We have two girls with Down's Syndrome in our Polish Dance class. They are the happiest, most enthusiastic dancers we have. I wish you could see the films of the first group dancing (my four year old is one girl's partner). Those darlings totally stole the show!
You are right, the world is a little brighter because of the people with Down's. All of those who have never spent time with one of them, don't know what they are missing.
Yes, they are a true joy. I have learned so much in just a few months.
I hope to see an update soon on your site, very very funny. I do have a question, did they actually leave you a voice mail message? Did you really give them your phone number?
ROFL, I wish I had thought of that.

Lowbridge, this is for you!
Never gave them my real number. Ever. I use some freebie voice mail message sites on the internet. k7.net, or: yac.com They give me a phone number for which I can give to the scammers.
I can also receive free faxes through these sites. Sometimes the scammers choose to fax you their (phony) documents.
Yes, I have actually received voicemail from these scammers. :-)
Are you aware of the potential threat of violence? I hope you're not actually planning to meet the person. Videotaping anonymously from a safe distance, on the other hand, could be fun...
