Does anyone else find this funny?
So a while back I started getting some 419 (Mainly Nigerian) scam letters telling me I would get millions of dollars, etc. I am sure you have gottem them...here is an example.
Compliments of the season. My name is Mr. Harley Maritz, the regional manager of a branch of International Commercial Bank Tema Ghana. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids. I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us. As the regional manager of the bank, it is my duty to send financial reports to my head office in the capital city of Accra. On the course of the last year 2003 end of the of the years report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Three Million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars (3,550.000.00)of which my head office is not aware of and will never be aware of it. I have since then PLACED this fund on a SUSPENCE ACCOUNT without a beneficiary. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am compelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account. I intend to part with 20% of this fund to you while 80% shall be for me. I do need to assure you that there are practically no risks involved in this. It’s going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response. So I did some research and found a site that scams the scammers and make them do stupid things in hopes of getting money. I have gotten many funny pictures from them, here are a couple highlights. After they send me the email, I will respond pretending to be the minister of a church or the head of a company and then say I will need to see a picture to prove they are honest. Started by getting normal pictures and then took it to the next level. So this was one of my churchs: And I said I needed a picture holding the 3 symbols of the Church in order to go ahead with the donations to these people... The rest speaks for itself... |
