In my freepmail "You have mail" I received a nigerian funds transfer scam email from another freeper id.

What is the moderators email address so I can forward to him and he can stop this account?

Thanks.

I found this site years ago, and it's so much fun to read. This gal scams the Nigerian scammers. She really puts them through a lot of trouble. They think they have her convinced they're legitimate, and from the very beginning she's on to them.

Scroll down to the middle of the page, and her letters are printed there. They start with "My First Scam."

My favorite one was one that was supposedly written by someone in Iraq. It stated that her husband had been killed when a foreign army had come in and invaded Iraq. What an interesting e-mail to send someone in the U.S.

I just noticed that the site I posted in comment #61, does the same. They must have lots of fun! They say:

"If you have received a scam letter similar to the ones in the first few letters it would be very much appreciated if you would email me the original letter with their email address so I can take care of them! Thanks!"

Within hours of signing up for PayPal the spoofs started and so did their idiot automated responses. They all go into the same bit bucket.

Isn't this scam Nigeria's chief source of revenue?

My guess is because they are not colons.

"Does the Nigerian have a pair of underwear on her head and is she holding a sign that says "Freepers Rule, DUers Drool!"?"

OMG, I'd forgotten all about that, what a riot!!!

They're everywhere, try listing a pinball machine for sale on Mr. Pinball, you'll get about 10 of these.

I also get them from my real estate website, I represent the son of the president of _________ he would like to buy 4 or 5 properties for about 2-3 million each etc.
