At my work there were very good email filters to stop the crap. No system is perfect. One day, I received the email version of the Nigerian Scam. There was $35 million in my name. All I had to do was provide enough information.
I decided to have some fun. I responded with something close to:
“”Okay, to prove you all are on the up and up, please FedEx overnight $5,000 in gold bullion. Once I have proven that the gold is real, we can talk some more.””
The jokers on the other end actually responded:
“”I know understand you.””
