Yes, people fall for these scams. I've seen it happen quite a few times. It's kinda funny, in a very sad way, when they finalllllly admit to themselves they've been scammed and try to recover their dough. Like that's gonna happen.
 
Yes! 2.5 Mil from Nigeria?! Glass-top Cohibas for everyone on me.

Unfortunately some people are always looking for that golden ticket.
 
as the rightful beneficiary of the funds, you are to settle for the cost of delivery which is the sum of $90 via Western Union Money Transfer Or Money Gram International Money Transfer so that your parcel can be delivered to your residential address before it accumulate a demurrage after one week,as you know your parcel is not just an ordinary parcel but ATM CARD with huge amount and I think you understand what I mean by accumulating demurrages Which you will not allow to happen to your recovery parcel that was almost gone if not for the love of God.

Rejoice! You're rich! Just dont let any demmurages happen to your recovery parcel FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! :laugh:
 
Ha! I made the mistake of giving this kid my email in Zimbabwe when I was 17, so I get these scam emails every day. If I was smart, I would erase the address...
 
I always answer these emails. I figure if they are busy sending me emails; they are less likely to actually scam some gullible person that might actually fall for it.

I got really bored one rainy Sunday afternoon and used Adobe to make an "official" looking document similar to a Western Union Money gram. I told them it was from a bank in Jamaica.

I called it a "Federal Universal Currency of Kingston" Money gram. I've sent it out to several scammers; none of them suspected it was fake until they made several trips to a bank in Nigeria.

One poor fellow was so convinced it was real, he made trips to eight different banks!

My wife keeps a list of telemarketers phone numbers and emails the numbers to the scammers; pretending to be anxious to talk to them.

The fun you can have with those zany Nigerians!

I don't see nothing wrong.
You just won 2.5M and you are complaining about it?

The people that write these scam emails should attend the "The Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too". :laugh:

ROFLMAO...yes! Best response ever.
 
that is a great idea, email them back and act as if your biting, then mail them a fake mo and try to get them to cash it. Have them waste their time and money so they dont waste a poor grandma or grandpa time, sanity, or retirement.
 
I think the elderly tend to fall for these scams, but what makes me wonder is how the elderly can decipher what the hell the scammers are saying? It's like trying to read 133t-speak.
