Email 419's, anyone received these?

I think we’ve all had these spam emails at one point or another…they’re all scams obviously.

I personally have over $330 million coming my way, between my lottery winnings and a few personal fortunes that I am helping poor widows to smuggle into the country.

As soon as it gets here I’m quitting my job.

Hahahaha ;P

I have a friend who was the victim of a very elaborate 419: someone bought her camcorder on eBay and then sent a spoofed Paypal confirmation of payment. She shipped the thing to Nigeria. I wish she would have mentioned this to me, as I would have stopped her in a heartbeat, but I didn’t hear about it until after she knew she’d been had.

$330mill, at least you could’ve said you’d help the current pres. With the economy prob. But hey it’s your story not mine:-)

@tonedef – wow, that’s horrible to hear D:

I just wonder where are these scammers’ mommas, to be scamming ppl. With these 419’s and others who do similar acts, dude really?

A lot of the stuff on this site is really horrible and dangerous, but it’s interesting to see such an intense effort to get back at these scammers. ”419 Eater”

Oh, god. The Letters section has some incredible examples.

I’m currently in the midst of saving a small African country from degenerating into all-out civil war simply by “holding onto” a tidy three hundred g’s while the politic work out their problems in a civilized fashion.

I wonder if I could buy my self a Nobel Peace Award with some of this booty; I’m saving lives right?
