LOL, Ziroc, that is really funny. I knew an elderly gentleman who had to be prevented by his bank from falling for one of those scams.

Oh that was humorous! It looks like scamming the scammers can be very fun. I can't imagine the amount of effort this guy put in to keep these fools going. The best part is, they didn't realize that they were being scammed themselves! Some people, I tell ya. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Too funny! Just think what would happen of the guy tried to show up in an airport with a fake passport in the name of Captain Kurt. ;)

he probably was arrested if he was stupid enough to forge the passport in that name [img]tongue.gif[/img] or if he messed with the wrong people claiming fake passports and they went wrong he may well have got shot, i agree with the guy in the posts, why is it nigeria has such a high proportion of these scams, its not just internet they try the same with mail too, been doing it for a long long time saw all sorts of programmes about it (this was in england) , must be so much fun to turn it round on them, esp when they dont realise they are being screwed [img]smile.gif[/img] maybe i will start replying to some of my junk mail just to bait people like that [img]smile.gif[/img] but not be quite as obvious (hop on one leg wearing yellow [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Wow, that was funny, I got one of those the otherday, ignored it completely... [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] I got that scam mail a few times... snicker.. I like this!

<font color = aqua> These types of scams have been going on for several years in Nigeria. Nine years ago when I bought my first fax machine, one of the first things I received was a similar letter. With the exposure this kind of scam has had on television shows like 60 minutes and W5, you would think they'd have come up with somehing new by now. I guess there really must be a sucker born every minute. </font>

Haha, yellow clothing, jump up and down...great stuff. I was expecting him to get one to meet the other or call the cops. Too funny. Too bad nobody was there with a camera.
