Here is how they get your email address. I have gotten several entries in my guestbook that I have had to remove. You have a new entry in your guestbook: ------------------------------------------------------ Just to warn all about entering your email address in any website guestbook.

Do you get emails promising you of untold fortunes from wives/sons/accountants/lawyers of dead dictators from Nigeria/Ivory Coast/South Africa/Angola/Namibia and other countries?

Here's how they get your email:

These are 419 Scammers (in this case), MUGU GUYMEN or GUYMEN collect email addresses from guestbooks on websites.

In every Guestbook that has had emails collected you will see a guestbook post from a 419 Scam Group.

Entries from MUGUS or MUGU GUYMEN from Nigeria in a guest book indicate that all the e-mail addresses are now in the hands of 419 scammers from countries in West Africa. They're putting these warnings so that other 419 scammers would not harvest the e-mails here. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE PUTTING IN YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN GUEST BOOKS. If you need to contact the owner(s) of a website, e-mail him/her/them directly.

Doubt what I say? Go to the: Google Search Engine and do a search of GUYMEN NIGERIA. Try it and you will find out that they are all over guestbooks they stake their claim too.

Beware of these scams. These mugus are the scum of the Internet. Please go to http://www.fraudaid.com or http://www.scamorama.com for more information.

Ha! They're offering you only $7 million? Just yesterday I was offered $25 million, and I already rushed to send them my banking info so that they can deposit the money into my life savings account! For some reason, the bank's computers must be down, because now it says I have a zero balance.

Seriously, it is a sad thing to see, because the crooks would not be emailing people if it didn't pay to do so, and it isn't the crafty and the clever that become victims. Maybe our government can tell the leaders of these nations that any foreign aid will be DECREASED by the amount of fraud perpetrated in their countries, and if they want to make up the difference to go after the con-artists instead. THAT would make the emails stop!

[Lancey Howard]

I have received several versions of this email over the past couple of years, always from an African country. I just delete them and forget about them. Good luck.

[Cultural Jihad]

He's actually boasting about being an embezzler!

That's the hook which these cons use, the lure of a getting rich quick in an illegal way. Hence few victims come forward to complain to Nigerian officials that someone in their country won't play fair with them about circumventing their financial laws.

[StevieB]

I'm getting bummed out reading this thread. I was feeling good when I started, because my offer of $18 million yesterday was a lot better than the $7 million offered to PJ_Comix. Then I read that Khepera is getting $50 million and Cultural Jihad is getting $25 million.

I'm starting to feel like I'm in the poor people class.

[Rebelbase]

I just added up the sum of money offered in the dozen emails I've received since september. The total comes to $401,000,000.

I'm retiring.

I'm working up a script for a playback scam--some of these folks are serious criminals, and I want them to think that they've hit the mother lode.

"Dear Mr. Umbgasi,

"I was quite surprised to hear from you. You see, I have a very awkward problem. I work on a 'Special Access Program' run by the US Department of Defense. This particular program involved purchasing large numbers of 'sterile' weapons that cannot be traced back to the US, and distributing them to various armed revolutionary groups fighting on behalf of US interests under the guise of the 'War on Terror.'

"The problem is that the program was rather hastily shut down, but not until after a sizable shipment of weapons and ammunition (worth about $300,000,000 US on the global arms black market) arrived at the US Customs bonded warehouse facility at San Pedro, California. These weapons include surface-to-air missiles, mortars, small arms, and rocket-propelled grenades. When the program was closed out, the documentation for this shipment was lost.

"These weapons are good quality, and they are now essentially available to me for free--if I can get someone to sign off on an end-user certificate to release them for export.

"As am officer of a major bank, I'm sure you have many connections with your nation's government. If I could prevail upon you to discreetly ask around to see if anyone in your nation's defense establishment might be willing to sign off on an end-user certificate, and thus allow the shipment to leave the US for your country. I can accompany the shipment. Once there, we can arrange for further transshipment of these weapons to various paying customers and split the proceeds."

I think that the entire Nigerian nation is engaged in one big scam. Imagine the hell of being a Westerner living there and being besieged with scams on a daily basis wherever you go.

[hchutch]

I just got one from a Dr. Metele. Offering me 30% of a $30 million overpayment to the South African Foreign Credit Office. I've got over a dozen more of these e-mails, myself and I like the way you're thinkin'

Mind if I team up with you on that? I got a few ideas myself for how to handle these con artists. After all, I think a little turnabout is fair play...

I mean, who's going to object to the fact that a scam artist got scammed?

I plan on making my Nigerian do a LOT of traveling. What are you planning for your Nigerian?

[hchutch]

You've got Freepmail.

EVIL idea involved.

[Capt. Tom]

Interesting to know that someone has actually been suckered by this scam.

It is a 5 billion dollar scam.

Here is one of the websites devoted to it.

You forgot the "MUAHAHAHAHA!"

[Cultural Jihad]

I mean, who's going to object to the fact that a scam artist got scammed?

As long as you are aware that you would be stealing stolen money. Your gain would still be predicated upon some innocent person's loss.

[Terriergal]

Yeah I am sure they are just looking for your account number. I get those every once in a while in hotmail too.

But man that IS a great reply!

Police say they have arrested a 72-year-old Czech man. According to unconfirmed reports, the man is suspected of opening fire because he was the victim of a financial swindle by a Nigerian group.

He should have just told them the Czech's in the mail.

[CarolAnn]

My husband and I own a small company, and we got one of thost scam letters in the mail.

I actually knew Mark Johnson years ago and boffed his wife on a couple of occasions.

OMG, PJ... one or more of those poor children could have been yours!
