Did anyone else get the spam e-mail from a so called African heiress?

Not that unusual but it's the first time i have received one via Toytown redirection, looks like they are targeting the board in recent days.

Have you ever read some of the topics on Toytown? OF COURSE THERE ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY DUMB ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! We call them victims. It's sad but what's on the other channel?

I always have to ask why most spammers insist on ending their requests with "God Bless". Does it really aid in pulling suckers into their scam, or what?
I just feel like they cheapen the phrase someway by tagging it onto the end..
Sin
Erm... I would have thought it was patently obvious that anybody who believes in God has got to be the easiest target to scam.

I like the way they always state the amount of money in WORDS as well as figures. Just like writing out a cheque.

Funny though how there`s no mention of "modalities". There usually is.

It is almost frightening how she knew that I like helping deaf black girls, especially on Fridays.
Melodia
Well, I have a friend who actually DID fall for that kind of thing without realising it at all! Sad...
Sinderbox
And he got to talk to the deaf girl too?
robinson100
I´ve seen this somewhere else, but it wasn´t here... I´ll have to get my thinking cap on, and then I can tell you guys, okay?
eurovol
Yeah, I got this in an email more than once and on more than one email account. Poor deaf girl.

But the US conclusion is premature:

When a young graduate forces himself to pay the shylock rent, how then would he feed? Do you expect him to starve? So, our poor guy either joins a 419 group or do some bank frauds. Don’t forget this young graduate has aged parent who look upon him to live longer.

A lot of these criminal preoccupations like 419, bank fraud are crimes that could easily be eradicated by giving the youths full and gainful employment, provide jobs for the youths and watch the transformation of the society from corruption-prone to integrity and self esteemed conscious being. The youths are turning to crime as a by-product of the corruptive influence of the elite and their lust for wealth. After all, most of these people at the corridor are deeply involved in 419. The so-called big guys in 419 and bank fraud are in the Senate, House of Assembly, etc.

Great reading.

if, l, Sam Nwanti is elected as the president of Nigeria, I will change the name of Nigeria to Central Kingdom and the capital will be called the Kingdom, and before the international community will realise that a new Nigeria is evolving, l will use my vast American connection to flood Nigeria with foreign investments that will benefit the youths, mostly, thereby eradicating robbery as well as other social vices, and crimes".

Off you go then.

Oh right, well then Bush is a tosser and America is the world bully etc etc

As you were, i retract sod all.
