Just read of one whereby a Nigerian astronaut is stuck in space and whilst up there he is being paid....millions by all accounts. However, a small amount of investment is required in order to get him down....you know the restI've done loads of 419s, its great fun.
Supposedly there's some guy still in customs at heathrow waiting for me to arrive and pay the bribe so we can split the $8mill he has in a suitcase ;-)
I’ll never get scammed, if anyone calls me, say from, Sky/Virgin/United Utilities, etc and says we have to go through the security questions I tell them no way am I divulging information because they’ve rang me.
Saying all that I got an email from a 25 year old Ukrainian lady called Svenska who apparently wants to shag a FOC, all I had to do was send her the money for airfare and a hotel, absolute bargain at that price.
I repeat I’ll never get scammed :-)

What a awful way to die, I've just sent £1000 to help this poor man.Just read of one whereby a Nigerian astronaut is stuck in space and whilst up there he is being paid....millions by all accounts. However, a small amount of investment is required in order to get him down....you know the rest
I recommend the "The Bob Servant Emails" series https://fourble.co.uk/podcast/servant where he interacts with the email scammers.I get tons of these.
There's a guy who answers them and gets them doing all sorts to try and prove they are genuine. 492 scams or something.
I love the bit about people opening accounts and then disappearing. Because some people just forget about £232 million.

There are people out there who are that naive as to be taken in by this sort of thing. What was it Bullet Tooth Tony said in Snatch; "Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity".

Dear Bank UBS AG Zurich Investment Consultant:
I am in receipt of your email and am eager to work with you.
As you're probably aware - and I guess this is why you emailed me - I'm the sole heir to a multimillion pound estate as a result of my Uncle's recent passing.
Unfortunately, inheritance is tied up momentarily in the courts and... truth be told, I'm on hard times currently.
If you would be so kind as to send a bank cheque to me in the amount of £10,000.00 that will allow me to pay my lawyers and resolve my temporary financial hardship.
Regards,
Your friend, BluemoonAcrossThePond
