Just got an email from some lawyer in Africa saying he has a client who's died and he can't find an relatives - so having the same surname as me, he wants to put me forward as next of kin to get his millions!!

I'm RICH I'm RICH I'm RICH

debbiemc

heres one offer I couldnt refuse a couple of years ago:

Let me guess - all you have to do is provide him with all your bank account details so he can transfer the money to you!! Does this mean then that you`ll be sailing to Oz in your own private yacht??

herrchook

Actually, all I have to do is email him - he's not asked for any of tha dodgy stuff so it must be legit - right

Yacht - naah!! With $53 million I'm buying a liner and taking you ALL with me

skywalker

again and again same emails on the net!

furkew

wow, thats really freaky, the same happened to me last week, and the week before, and the week before. I thought it was a scam because it was a different relative every time. I really feel gutted now that I never took advantage of the offer.

never mind.

Luke I Amyofath

Same scammers yes but they are so bloody greedy they are gullible as hell when they think theyre gonna get some cash from their victim.

I got several of them to phone me and leave me messages, the funniest was Luke I Amyofatha Vs Luthman. Go listen to the phone message here:

Luke you have far too much spare time on your hands.

gobbyjock

Woohooo!!! Party on your own ocean liner !! Seriously though you shouldn`t spend it all at once or else you could end up like that idiot who won the lottery, got loads of asbos and is now on legal aid. I think you should deposit it in my account so that I can look after it for you and invest it wisely (how much beer can you buy with $53 millionion I wonder??)
I know it`s a big task but I`d be only too happy to help you out in this as a friend (have you noticed how many friends you have now your rich - talk about coincidence!! )

Luke I Amyofath

that was a couple of years ago in oz, now the babies a wild 3 yr old I dont have the time, though I wouldnt mind starting a scam-bait where maybe BE members write the next email in a bait. You wouldnt believe what you can get these idiots to do if they smell $$$$$$$

Luke - check out this site, you'll love it!!!!!!!!

Luke I Amyofath

Yes, I know the site owner. He's used some of my pics I got of a scammer to confuse another scammer.

On the surface scam-baiting is done by people with time on their hands and a desire to disrupt the scammer.
Ive been a bit further than that and was a part of a small group that would track the scammers movements, get their email passwords etc and generally make their life misery. we would get into their email and change words in their "form letter", so people would get an email that says "I am a 419 email fraudster and I send you this mail to rip you off"
There are still some that do that, I dont have the time.
By the way, a simpleton can gain access to their email, they are so predictable.

I`ve just had yet another one from the "Halifax" asking me to confirm my details - which is pretty hard as I don`t have a halifax account
