ShadowMom	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 3:55 PM I don't believe the nerve of these people. And yet, I guess there are some people so naive or so greedy that they fall for it.
PrincessTast...	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 3:55 PM I didn't.
Opossum	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 3:56 PM That's okay, I won the lottery ten times yesterday (and I didn't even have to enter). Maybe I'll invest in some of those amazing business offers I get a gazillion of in a day.
tsand20175	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 4:59 PM ..that's just one variation of this world famous scam. the sad part is that some people actually fall for it. http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp
ChillinBuzz	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 5:03 PM One of my former business clients went along with one of those a few years ago to see what they really did... Ended up with the police, immigration and serious fraud office questioning her. They end up asking for your CC details and other personal things, they even asked her for money up front to help them move it along... Then... Nothing. No more emails, no more calls, no more police. Just like that. Weird.

ChillinBuzz	Date: July 11, 2007 @ 7:25 PM Wait... Is that a Nigerian scam or one a bit closer to home?
zedsalt	Date: July 12, 2007 @ 10:56 AM We have scam and eggs; sausage, eggs, and scam; scam, a biscuit, and sausage... I was reading about someone who fell for the large-bills-Xeroxed-onto-black-construction-paper scam that Princess mentioned last night. It was really kind of sad. She had stolen from her employer for "transaction fees", "new anti-terrorist-funding measures", "large cash amount handling fees", etc., THEN when she received a box of black construction paper "money", she stole MORE money for a "chemical specially designed to remove the security ink". The saddest part was that, even as they were arresting her for over $600,000 worth of theft, she kept telling them over and over that she had always intended on replacing the stolen funds, and if they would just wait for her to "clean" her millions, she would replace every penny.
