I just got a letter from Namibe Duramba, the wife of the ex-president Chikobe Duramba. Her esteemed husband has been captured in a coup de'ta of their country and they need your help!

She needs one of you to send me a Premium Format London After Midnight statue which I can then insert the $1,000,000 she will send my bank account to help her get her husband out of a war lord's prison.

Please PM ASAP!!!!!

I got a really clever one the other day. From an American serviceman serving in Iraq who had discovered a cache of money and needed help to get it back to the US. First time I'd seen that take on it.
 
One of the big time news programs did a special investigation on scammers like these. They are bold and they sure know how to lie even when they're caught red handed with cameras in they're faces they always have some off the wall excuse as to what they're doing.

So how much did you send her?:D
 
I got one the other day, I don't remember what it said, except that it was signed Barrister Ken Obi esq.

I got one very similar to that, a service man had hit the jackpot in one of Saddam's palaces.

:lol :emperor
 
This scam reminds me of the Aristocrats joke. So many versions and always with the same ending.
 
Would love to help but do not have the London statue you request. Could I send a LOTR Balrog statue or even just money?
 
I think the balrog woul work yes. god bless you for trying to help. PM me and I'll tell you where to send the balrog. I can flip it on ebay and buy several LAM statues in which I could stuff even more money to help this most deserving woman and her captive husband (I have seen The Last King of Scotland and know how terrible they may be treating her husband, Tojimbe Kurosawa).

If you have a bronze Gandalf, that would work too. Thank you all for your genorosity.
 
A former coworker last year received an email from some African nation from the former "President". It was the usual , blah, blah, blah...Millions upon millions of dollars involved and only YOU could get the money.


Anyway, he decided to play along and for about a month... there was this long drawn out process of formality letters from the "president and all his lawyers".

Then it got crazy. They wanted a copy of his passport. My friend took his real passport. Pasted a picture of Darryl Strawberry!!!! on it. He covered his serial number with a thin piece of white paper and HAND WROTE random numbers over them. He scanned in the passport and sent it. These people were none the wiser!!


They wanted his home number and he gave it to them. They actually called him twice and he wasn't home! They sent him a nasty letter stating it was expensive to call international and he was playing games and in Jeopardy of losing his millions.


The formalities ended there....my friend was now calling them A**holes, to which the "Barrister" took great offense, sending a "How Dare you speak to me that way!" response. It was Hilarious.... he kept asking them to send a "teaser" of a few hundred thousand dollars.


They wanted his bank account number to "deposit" the money when the time came. He sent them a phony bank name and number. Which they patiently tried to verify and finally grew pissed. My friend kept asking them "when will you guys invite me to your country and kill me?"

It came to a haltwhen he sent them a picture of Darryl Strawberry in court in a orange prison jumper. He told them that he had fallen on hard times and if they could send him a few millions of "his" money itt would help him out.

It finally ended with a letter that they could no longer be "partners" in this transaction.



The funny part is that this went on for about a month. The letters were written with horrific spelling and grammatical errors.
