Hey...waidaminit...the first sentence sez 500,000 pounds, then in parentheses, sez 1,000,000 pounds...Assholes...which is it?


I get so dammed tired of these fucking Nigerian scammers...you'd think that they'd at least get creative and spoof email addresses or something instead of:

from: Microsoft Award Team <bedalton24@sbcglobal.net>
reply-to: claimsverificationdept1@live.com

Just the simple lack of Microsoft anywhere in the address makes me skeptical...:p


(of course, when I won one of the $100 Amazon gift certificates from Microsoft and one of their survey companies...I was also VERY skeptical...and insisted on proof that they were who they claimed...which they provided)

That's a pretty vanilla scam email, I thought it would be better. 3/10, Nigerians. Step up your game.

Hilarious, have you seen the dating scammers that hit My Space and what not from Nigeria too? They send you pictures of hot women and fall in love with you on the second email. Ha Ha Ha Ha.........wow, they must be bored in those Cafe's down there. :D
