Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

I have won $2.5M on the British Lottery, not!

Another con I am afraid.

To add credibility to their con, these guys claim association with the Rockefeller (I think they mean Rockerfeller..at least spell it right guys!) Foundation; not a chance!

Do not fall for this, it is a con.

    I JUST REC'D THE SAME LETTER TODAY 08/29/05 SAYING I WON. I GET THESE LETTERS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FROM SOME LOTTERY IN THE UK. IT'S GETTING REDICULOUS. WHEN THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY THEM TO SEND ME MY WINNINGS, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP. I'M GLAD THESE FRAUD LETTERS AND POSTED SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THESE. MY QUESTION IS: DO THESE PEOPLE EVER GET CAUGHT??
    THANKS

    The majority of the scammers operate from countries with lax attitudes to law enforecement.

    Therefore, many of them get away with this without ever being "hasseled" by the authorities.

    THIS IS ONE OF MANY THAT I HAVE GOTTEN. NIGERIA IS ANOTHER ONE WITH SOME OF THE SAME STUNTS. THEY ARE USING YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER TO ATTRACT MEN TO VERY PRETTY WOMEN AND EVEN WILL CHAT LIVE WITH YOU. THEN THE BIG RED FLAG HITS. MY CLIENT NEEDS TO PAY ME IN US DOLLARS BUT WILL ONLY PUT IT IN A US BANK CAN I HELP. NOT. THEY CLAIM TO BE MODELS AND CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL THEY GET PAID OR THEY WON'T EVER GET PAID. AND BOY DO THEY TURN ON THE SEXUAL COMMENTS AND EVERYTHING TO SUCK IN MANY MALES WHO THINK IT IS REAL. IT IS NOT REAL BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. ALL BEWARE THEY WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL OUR GOV'T DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. BUT CONTINUE TO SEND IN COMPLAINTS MAYBE IT WILL HELP
    THANKS
