I'm not surprised people are still falling for the BS scam. They even have signs posted at my bank warning people that checks from internet scams won't be cashed. They came up with a list 10 items long describing the various scams. There is no limit to the stupidity of people in your own home town!!!!

I even get emails from the FBI telling me I have been scammed and to contact them by clicking on the link provided and enter my personal info. I just forward those to the real FBI to investigate. Some times I even look up the ISP address to see where the email originates from. They say they are emailing me from London...but a quick check shows it coming from Nigeria. It's easy to find.... www.ip2location.com/free.asp Being PC correct is a pain some time because they tend to delete part of the words.. Like one of the old sayings " Ni@@er Rigged "...has now been changed to read " Presidential Solution " because of the need to be PC and not offend anyone. Oh well...hope everyone has a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving. Yep…I’ve passed up all those millions for years now.

He lost EVERYTHING, including his wife. First he gave them 25,000. to get "IN" on the moving of 20 million dollars out of the country. His share was 35%(7 million). He even went to nigeria and LOOKED at the money in a suitcase trunk. The money had "The bank of Nigeria" in ink on the front of the bills. He returned to Washington and was told that it would cost him 10,000 to get the special ink remover to take the banks logo off the bills, which he sent. Wellll, on the way from the phamaceutical co. the guy dropped the bottle and it busted, and NOW they need another 10,000 to get another bottle. Expensive dam stuff!! Now, since they had to have a "special" courier to transport the money they needed another 50,000 ASAP so he mortgaged the house and wired them the money. After a month of not getting any replies to his letters and phone calls, he went to the FBI. They more or less told him the same as I would.......You're a dumbass!!!!!

I have a first cousin who is my age and like a brother to me. He is a banker living in east Texas and has a son who is somewhat what slow, but nevertheless a grown man. who fell for such a scheme. Recently his son went to the bank to draw out $10,000, the teller who knew him and my cousin alerted my cousin and the transcaction was stopped---he was getting ready to send the money to Nigeria. Yup, the old saying is very true "one born every minute" and another one looking to find him. Greed in the overriding factor---remember the movie "The Sting"!

LOL There was a woman just north of our town who actually was in charge of an escrow company and was handling a huge Walmart building account that fell for that scam, can you imagine? She lost $200,000 dollars that was earmarked for the construction contractor. Let me rephrase that, Walmart lost it. She went to jail and everything she had was seized. Manager of a title company and falling for that shit?? Unbelievable. Ahhh the old “My Uncle in the Embassy who got killed in a car accident” routine. LOL
