Should I put the ticket to the Netherlands on my American Express card so I get flier miles?

;^)

[Rodney King]

Make sure to respond and toy with them a little bit.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

OUTSTANDING!

If you want to parlay your winnings into really big bucks, there is a unique opportunity in Nigeria with your name on it.

FYI

At least they didn't come right out and ask for your bank account number to deposit the funds. The crooks are learning!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Here is that vanity you were looking for.

[PetroniDE]

BETTER IDEA !!!

Open a new account and deposit a small amount (e.g. $25). Use that as the account to have the deposit.......

[Shryke]

Dude. I won that lottery. If I see you in the Netherlands, I will break your legs!

[Hatteras]

You lucky dog! Here, use my social security number and bank account when you respond, please?

[woofie]

By posting this you have invalidated your winning number

[End Times Sentinel]

We've been though this before, it's only a scam if they're from NIGERIA!  I'm going to be cashing in on a cool 3.1 million from a deposed Gambian Princess later on this week and you can all kiss my butt.

I've never actually baited a scammer but I have great respect for anyone who has.

[tacticalogic]

Sounds like some really nice people. Notice how they've thoughtfully added a disclaimer advertising free adsl service for an Italian ISP.

They are really from Piscataway, NJ. Not The Netherlands.

I did a lookup of the domain name in that email address.

The site was set up on register.com for the scam.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Surely you are going to plead a shortage of cash and start a FReep contribution fund to solicit donations for that ticket.

[KoRn]

PS: They could just be in The Netherlands using register.com ;-)

[robertpaulsen]

Ha! $3.1 million is chump change.

I've got $10 million headed my way as soon as the problems with the paperwork are cleared up. But that $10,000 that they requested I send them should get me my money in no time.

They need to correct their 'grammar' before they think about fixing their 'security' problem.
