Dear Algore, inventor of the spaceship,

Could you please send me $10,000 to get me back to Nigeria?

Poor Gloria wound up sending him a picture of herself wearing a pair of underpants on her head and holding a sign saying "Freepersrule" and "IMADUER"-- which refer to the conservative website Free Republic and the leftist website Democratic Underground, respectively.

LOL, I've been showing this to people at work.

It is absolutely classic! It's hard to stop laughing at it. I saw that picture a while back....I am sure that lowbridge posted a thread about..but to see it in the news is just the biggest humor hoot of the day....

You know, this is not bad, lowbridge.

However, there are folks who have taken these guys for some money (five bucks here, ten bucks there, someone even got some gold from one would-be scammer...).

Why not see how high someone can take it? Go for a HUGE score off one of these scammers - I'm talking five or six figures here. It's not like anyone's gonna complain about outscamming a 419.

It's so funny! He told the guy to leave this message on the answering machine so he'll know it's him! ROFL!

"By the way, I am having trouble with my phone system. Could you put in another call to me and leave a message as a test?

Here is the message I would like for you to leave (So I'll know it's you):

Pic is on this page.

Apparently LB's host server doesn't allow remote linking of pictures.

www.ebolamonkeyman.com has the best scam the scammer emails, pictures and stories.

My favorite one is where the scammee claimed to be a porn star and sent the scammer photos of "herself" and led him to believe she longed for his manhood...to the point he traveled to another country to meet her.

That is the funniest thing I've seen on FR in ages!

Fortunately, I had the coffee cup in my hand, but hadn't taken a sip yet, otherwise coffee (black, no sugar) would've come out my nose.

Dear Friend ,


I am Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the widow of the late Gen. Sanni Abacha former
Nigerian Military Head of State who died mysteriously as a result of Cardiac
Arrest. Since after my husband’s death my family is under restriction of
movement and that not withstanding, we are being molested by police and our
Bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Nigerian Civilian
Government.

Furthermore, my elder son is in detention by the Nigerian Government for
more interrogation about my husband’s assests and some vital documents.
Following the recent discovery of my husband’s Bank Account by the Nigerian
Government with Swiss Bank in which the huge sum of US$700Million and
DM450Milllion was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence
that I was able to move out the sum of US$25Million Dollars, which was
secretly lodged in a trunk box and deposited with a Security Company as
materials of Inheritance.

I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously for your
urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I believe it
will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to the restriction of
movement imposed on the members of my family by the Nigerian Government.

You can also contact me through my family attorney Barrister Abdulsalma Isaa
(SAN) on his e-mail address:bar_salmaunion@sify.com and my lawyer shall
arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigerian, in order to
liaise with you toward effective completion of this transaction.



However, arrangements have been put in place to move this money out of the
country in a secret vault through a diplomatic security company, as soon as
you indicate your interest, forward to my lawyer your Telephone

Number, Fax Number and your Postal Address so that he can send to you

the Certificate of Deposit and other necessary documents, so that you

can help to claim the luggage.

Conclusively, we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum while 70% is
to be held on trust by you until we decide on a suitable business investment
in your country subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian Government.

Please reply urgently and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.

Best

Regards,

Hajia Mariam abacha(Mrs.)

I was going to do it but I just didn't have enough room for that secret vault at my place.

That's one of the funniest things that I've read in a while. Does the guy who owns the web site work for the county paper, or is he just reporting?
