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

Sunday, March 19, 2006

This scam arrived in my mailbox today.

The scammer claims to be a lawyer working for a dead client, she claims that I am bequeathed a large sum of money and that letters to me have been returned unopened.

Needless to say this is a scam:

1 If she really had my address the letters would have got through

2 The scam letter is poorly written, and contains numerous spelling and grammatical errors

3 I have never heard of the "dead" man

were I stupid enough to respond, the scammer would ask me to pay a "processing" fee; after that, I would never hear from her again.
