Sadly there must be a lot of them that fall for this... They keep doing it so often, it must have a pretty good payout for the effort they put into the scams...

By the way, did I mention I had some rich relatives that died while in Africa visiting on vacation, I should be getting a check from that estate shortly.... I just need to send some money for the legal fees..... But I can't remember where I put that Cashiers Check to get in the mail to get the ball rolling.....

Been a good year, I also won the Lottery in South Africa, although I don't recall entering, but my name was on the ticket and all I have to do is send the filing fee and it is mine!!!!

Makes one wonder. I have about twenty a day come into my spam folder.

Got tired of forwarding them to the Federal Trade Commission.... Besides, they were getting all the money I found out later....

^haha!!
I don't get as many as you do, in fact this is the first one in about a week or so.

Hmmmmm I wonder..
When a pirate replies to them and tells them to go f themselves, does that make a difference?
hmmmmmm

Yeah, you never want to reply to them, it lets them know it is a valid email address and you will get thousands of them in no time at all....same as most spam...

Well, so far that hasn't happened, and I replied to one.
Oooops.. I'll let you know if I get bombarded in the future.

These guys are usually foreign nationals. They have no expectation of rights or privileges when committing crimes against Americans. Our slacker-hackers should be able to find them, or at least some of them.

Can't we just shoot or hang a few of them, I mean, just for grins.

Just yesterday on Foxnews.com there was a story of an American woman that had sent $400,000 to Nigerian scammers. She said that they used names of real relatives and that convinced her that they were for real. It started with sending a $90 money order. She mortgaged her house and car and cashed out her husband's retirement fund. Her banker said he tried to talk her out of it multiple times. Where was the husband when this was going on?

Would work for me...

Send them a bomb activated by opening the package. We need the mafia back. (Italian one)

You sound like my Aunt Clara. Her son Bobbie, my cousin, can't keep a job to save his puckered behind. At least in 'organized crime' there would be something organized about him.

Even at family gatherings I have to tell him he has the right, and obligation to deceny, to remain silent.
