Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hey Kathleen, > Did i tell you i used to work for the nigerian embassy in swesen. get an > eyeball at THI*S one! in my box! It is funny crap - huh? ;-p This scam, the " Nigerian Connection " it's called, has been out since about 1999 .. ;-p Really, it is interesting in that it only victimizes those who deserve it. There are dozens and dozens of folks sending emails and faxes and basically, bombarding the world. This particular one has a different slant in that this person claims to be a real victim - for a long time, they came right out and said it was stolen money - which was intended to attract those who were less than ethical. I been thinking of sending it to some folks I know .. hoping they would bite on it .. ;-) It must be working because it has been going on for so long. The trick (according to the scam sites) is to grab your interest and then slowly bleed you for " administrative " funds or " processing " or " bribery " funds ... and eventually, get you to show up in some country South of the Sahara .. from which you will be ripped off and might even not come survive. Like I said, it must be working because it has continued for so long. I get 4-5 a month of these ... normally from Dr. or Engineer so and so. As it involves larceny to begin with, those who have such ethics are the ones to be victimized and I reckon the international police are not paying a lot of attention to it .. it does tend to teach the greedy folks a good lesson - huh? ;-p Butch > Dear Sir, > > I am Miss.
