Heads up. Got one of those emails from someone needing to shift 7million bucks out of the country and offering 15% if I give them all my account details. This time the country it,s Iraq not Nigeria or the ivory coast. At least these assholes have updated the location to somewhere more relevant. Guess this trick must still work on the slow and befuddled, please make sure you,re not one of them. Safe woodworking. -- if the hand is not working it is not a pure hand |

oh, it’s ok – if it’s Basra you can safely give them your account info… as long as it’s not nigeria… basra is ok… lol sad thing is though – that they only need a small percentage of people that will for for this scam… and apparently once in awhile they’re able to hook someone on… -- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

Refer them to Yoshie Zachafaree for international transfers of large amounts of money. He will handle the details for a fee as small as 2%. -- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery. |

I find it amazing that those emails are still going around, people can’t be that dumb can they? Not now. But then again, after reading a post Karson posted, I guess they are still out there. -- "At its best, life is completely unpredictable." - Christopher Walken |

I assume by now that everyone knows enough not to click any links in these mails. In fact, even though it’s tempting to open them to see just how ridiculous they are, you should not even open them. If you don’t recognize the sender, it’s safer to trash them. Opening the wrong e-mail might enable a RAT (random access trojan) that tracks keystrokes on your computer; stuff like account #’s and passwords.

Dave, Did you make the sale? :-)) Unfortunately, it’s not just the internet. When I first started business 25 yrs ago, 2 business aquaintances, with personal experience, warned me not to do business with the guy who built the tallest building in Seattle. -- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery. |

SST, I always wondered how could I have won if I never entered?? International sweepstakes are illegal in the US, anyway. -- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery. |

60 minutes did a segment on the Nigerian boiler rooms where dozens of fine young lads toil all day at nothing but how to extract cash and goods through scams world wide. A few satellite guided missiles should save the world a lot of grief ! |

I strung one of them along intending to give the evidence to the local police. They spent a few bucks to FedEx a bogus check to me :-)) I never heard another word when I didn’t forward their share:-)) -- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery. |
