The email address it came from? [email protected] Mhm. That's so an FBI email. Not to mention, I've definitely NOT been involved with any transactions like that. Do they think I'm THAT stupid? rofl

What's worse is someone will fall for it. Some people are very mean trying to trick people out of money like that!

 

[Rickman]

I'd immediatly contact your local FBI office, as they'll give you an E-mail address to forward that to. I've been getting all kinds of that type junk for the last 2-3 months!

Have you ever seen 419Eater? It is a "revenge" on the scammers site.
Some of the ways they get these crooks back are hilarious - they basically play them at their own game (not for the feint hearted - I would not attempt it) but these guys are very good at it and have the crooks running around chasing their tails, sometimes for weeks at a a time.
The gallery is seriously funny.

I keep getting various money scams - foreign lotteries - come my way. I can't believe how frequently they come. It is really sad. I find them ridiculously unbelievable, but I know someone else, especially one that is hard up and could really use the money, will fall for the scam.

Same here! I get 2-3 lottery scams saying stuff like "This is the English lottery corporation, you have won 3.5 million dollars" or something like that. Then they ask for my credit card number so they can transfer all that money to my bank account. Psh!

 

[Olallie]

Just reading that e-mail you can totally tell its a scam i mean come on write better!

 

[VolunteerChin22]

Ha it's like they put every English word they know, randomly capitolize things and send it out. I keep getting these emails about my inheritance from a dead person in Yugoslavia or New Zeland. The last one said, "I am sorry if this email has offended your morals" HA....

The sad thing is that some people do fall for them. Otherwise they'd quit doing it.
Most of the time it's an elderly person trying to help out. But I would hope by now that most people would know that it's a scam...

Actually, there's this guy who works with my boyfriend. Well some scammer somehow got his grandmother's phone number and called her and acted as though he was her grandson. He said he was stuck in Canada for a job and had his wallet stolen or something and that he needed her to send him some money. And she actually did. I think it was over $1,000 too.
Of course that's different than the email ones, but it's sad what people will do for money. They don't care about others.

I forward all those types of email to [email protected]

I usually delete them, but since this one said "FBI" so I just had to read it. Thanks for that link, meanie!
