Lets have some fun with this spam emailer ...

Gandalf23

I got the email below a few days ago. The guy is a well known spammer.

I was thinking it might be interesting if a lot of people replied to him saying they were interested in his proposal (please do not use your real email to do this ... set up a crappy hotmail account or something for all communication with him). Ask him a few questions like has he sent this email to anyone else, how did he get your email address, why did he pick "your country", what country does he think you are in, etc etc etc.

Its a bit of fun stringing these guys along for a while.

Two toy show tickets for the person who can string Williams along for the longest time!!! *

Please, I have prayed before contacting you with the trust that you will be a help to me with the current political situation in Ivory Coast now, I’m seeking for your assistance to transfer this Money to your account for a good investment Project in your country and also relocate to your country to further my study. I’m willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance.

Please for your good information this transaction Is 100% risk free and prove in no way connected with any illegal transaction, Please Help me to get out of this terrible situation and as soon as you receive this mail Please kindly call me +22547434107 and contact me (willyamani11@yahoo.fr) for more details (is very important) The bank here is ready to transfer the money to your account.

You ought to help him. That sounds like a serious situation.

AnonoBoy

I think you'll find he probably prayed over the names of the survivors of 9/11 and God revealed your name to him.

Thats what I heard anyways.

Plascebo

That sounds like a job for 419eater.com:D

To really annoy him go along with the email then pretend to forward it to your mate in quotes and underneath something like "What an idiot. I'm going to pretend to go along with this. As soon as he forwards the money I'm gonna take it all and disappear. I can't believe how easy it is to scam someone out of their money. He he he.

But Accidentally send it to him

Hahaha ... good idea!

Might email him and ask him to come over here and be my man slave.

419eater always says the main part of the game is to waste time and irritate the scammer. act dumb, rich and willing to go along with his plan. throw in a few curveballs but keep him on the line.

watch them forget their fake name and made up cover story and then beg you for money. i have about three on the go at the mintute.
then i sometimes when i get a spam email i will say something like 'please pass this mail to my associates' and then copy another spammers email address. has them going in circles.

ScumLord

It's a trick! He's in league with the spammer, he's trying to get you to give the spammer your email address. Don't trust internet people, they lie, they lied it all to hell.

steo87

Sent him a nice email just now....

"Hello good sir,

I have heard about your problem in Cote d'Ivoir, but fret no more...I am here to help you.

I have recently started up my own business which has made me a lot of money. Therefore, I do not require your offer of money but I will of course help you in any way that I can. So please reply soon and with the help of dearest almighty Allah i will do my best to help you"



....this is gonna be high-larious!

Ross_Mahon

$18,300,000.00 The things i could buy with that money...:rolleyes:

Ah damn, I didn't see that its only a fraction of the money.

Hmmm, this guy seems to be very honest. I think I'll help him out.

Where did I leave my Bank of Slartibartfast cheque-book?

Slow Motion

Tell him your willing to help but have your own financial problems and could he see his way to making it 25%, when he agrees up it again and see how far you can get him to go before he realises you are winding him up!

Fremen

Oh, nd b sure to only use txtspk wen u tlk 2 him

Cianos

Mail him back saying;

"What a coincidence, I am moving to the Ivory Coast to seek refuge from the civil war in Ireland. I have been looking for a kind honest gentleman living there with an active bank account so I can transfer the money gained from selling my leprechaun race track business."
