Dude that stuff is real.... hahahaha

Lol, I have a mate that replies to these E-mails acting like he is fully conned and is falling for the scam, and then after a few lines of text to get the would be scammer thinking he has another one, he let's loose with the most insulting foul language anyone has ever heard and just goes nuts at the guy for being such a dick.

There is a few websites dedicated to this sort of scamming, eg: http://www.419eater.com/

I'd email the guy back and ask him to send me my ATM card that he is offering.

Sorry no dice today mate I deleted a whole bunch of scam emails I got a few days back. However mine were the usual your net bank is insecure etc etc click this obviously fraudulent link stealingyourmoney.ru and type in your password. The real question I have is not who falls for this BS but how the hell do they always seemed to know that your using said bank/card or what have you.

Sneaky bastards they are.

 

Apparently, I've won this competition though - you give them your credit card numbers, and if 1 of them is lucky, you win a prize!

LOL! Apparently a lot of people got conned by Nigerian scams a few years back. The list included financial advisers, teachers and lawyers to name a few!

Ha my missus was watching Oprah a few weeks back and they had a scam special it was bloody hilarious stoopid American's. (You have to say that in a deep russki voice it works so much better)

A mate of mine actually got one from a telstra scammer. Looked like they had done a pretty good job. I reckon a few people would have fallen for it.

Revive!

 

Got and awesome one today, will bold the funny typos

 

Greetings to you,

 

With Due Respect and Humanity, I was compelled to write to you under a humanitarian ground. My name is Mrs. Jessica Meyer. I was born in Baltimore , Maryland ,I am married to Mr. Timothy Meyer director J.C Industries Cote d'Ivoire.We were married for 36 years without a child. He died after a Cadiac Arteries Operation.

 

And Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem (cancer of the lever and stroke). Before my husband died last year there is this sum $2.8 Million Dollars that he deposited in a bank here In Ivory Coast.Presently this money is still in the bank. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to any good God fearing brother or sister that will utilize this fund the way I am going to instruct herein. I want somebody that will use this fund according to the desire of my late.

 

Husband to help less privileged people, orphanages, widows and propagating the word of God. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this fund, And I don't want in away where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my up coming Cancer Surgery.

 

Write back as soon as possible any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose, hoping to read from you ASAP.

 

God bless you as you listing to the voice of reasoning,

Mrs. Jessica Meyer.

 

Shall I play along?

Details on how to collect this money would be wonderful, I wish to help you reach your dream of helping the less privileged people.

 

Sincerely Mick Taylor

Got a reply

 

My dearest beloved Mick Taylor,

 

Calvary greeting to you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ, How are you and all the members of your Families all together with your friends, I hope every one is fine and in good health condition, If so thanks be to almighty father for his mercy and guiding. Your message is well received and the content is well understood. Thank you very much for your willingness accepting to assist accomplished my Vow to God almighty, and i pray that God will grant you with wisdom which shall enable you fulfill this project to his Glory. My dear beloved, God almighty has lead me to hand you over the fund for my donation as my late husband advice me when he was alive and so shall I want you and your house ministry to use the fund to accomplish my vow for the glory of God our father because I am very sick now.

 

I got your contact through internet and i decided to appoint you as my new beneficiary of the fund and also as an instrument from God, to help me dispose this fund to the less privilege ones and also for proper gating the word of God our heavenly Father. I am very much glad to receive your reply letter this morning.

 

Thank you very much once again For your concern to my donation which I have already made up my mind before contacting you, Right now as I am writing you this letter to you, I was admitted in the hospital here in Ivory Coast, and if not this nursing sister here who use to help me in typing the letter in the computer and send to you, In fact God has been using her to help me here since my late husband brother abandon me just because I did not have any child for their late brother, and they are all against me because of my late husband properties, Which they have also plan to claim all because I am presently sick, But to God be the glory that I hide the deposit certificates of my donation fund and they will never know about this fund, Because the fund in the bank is the fulfillment of the vow I and my late husband made before almighty God.

 

My dear beloved, I am 62 years old woman, I need your help for my donation because I am very very sick now, My Doctor said that I will not last longer on this earth because of my sickness, But I am not afraid of death only what I need now is for my donation to be in good hand, I really need your prayer now because I can not even walk with my two legs any more because of the stroke but I know that God will visit me on his appointed time, and I shall not die to see that my donation to you is received and also used as I have instructed you. As a child of the living God, you should know that our ways are not his ways.

 

My Bible tells me that God works in many ways, and all things worked out for good to them that believed in Christ Jesus. In fact It is also by the leading of the holy spirit that I choose you in obedience and love to fulfill the desire of I and my late husband that I supported to the glory of God, After the bad news my Doctor gave me about my health condition, I become afraid and I have to disclose this matter to him so that he will help me contact the bank where my late husband deposited the money, But the bank said that before anything that we must go to the high court and get an authorization letter that will enable the bank do the changes of ownership in your name as the new appointed beneficiary from me before they will transfer the fund to you in your country. Give 80% of the fund to Charity Organizations and Churches on my name so that my soul may rest in peace. While the remain is for your family welfare.

 

Only what I need from you now is your full name, telephone and fax numbers, all together with your home or church address and bank account where the bank will transfer the money into in your country, As soon as i hear from you with this needed information, I will hand it over to my Doctor, So that he can help us get the Authorization letter in your name and address, and immediately that is done, I will also forward and gave you the contact information of the bank, in other to enable you contact them immediately and also plan with them on how the fund shall be release and made transfer to your bank account in your Country.

 

I have attach a photo of me and my husband for your view. Thanks for now and I will be waiting to hear from you as soon as possible you read this message, May the lord be with you and bless you, Please I need your prayers concerning my illness.

 

Yours sister in Christ,

Mrs. Jessica Meyer.

 

Any ideas for my reply?

make a fake bank account and address and proceed.

 

Or act like you are an atheist or some other religion like Islam or something and act all upset.

Tell her that your bank needs her account number before you confirm the transfer

Do as Devil288 has suggested IMO.
