Classic scam note there.

Really, AFM has no way to prevent that. They find your ad, doa little copy and paste, and send the bait out. Try not to get on the hook and let them reel you in.

I think if that were really from the UK that the english would have been much better. The one big runon sentence and poor grammar lead me to guess Nigeria,and nothing comes out of Nigeria but scams.

I get several of these daily in my various POP email accounts. The best thing to do is delete them if they sound weird. Thanks for the update on the newest scam though.

I had that last year and he was from Europe, so he said. He was a pilot and wanted to send me $7000 for a $1000 engine kit, but send the rest back to his shipper, Air Cargo Shipping. Both he and his shipper had Yahoo addresses, we all know how hard it is to get a Yahoo account... But if it was a business address, it'd be a business email, not a Yahoo mail. He sent some bogus Wal Mart money orders and they looked good but there was only 3 of the money signs, rather than the 4 Wal Mart uses. They actually came out of Michigan too, now that I think about it.

I have just noticed that the 10+ scam letters I get a week tend to share a lot of the same gramatical errors and spelling errors.

Also, a lot of the NIGERIAN stuff tends to refer to a British contact of some kind.

Scarry that it is a mulit BILLION dollar industry for that country...

I followed one of those "I have 25.000.000 for deposit because ____ died please meet with me blahbblahblah"

I actually swapped e-mails with the person who "had the money." Poor grammar, use of American slang (aint cuz na cmon), and a common-American-named yahoo address made me finally e-mail him "So how do you like it when I waste your time, you ---[lots of bad language]---"

I never got a response and I don't know why.

Probably because your grammar was too proper. Send one back with the same types of mistakes as theirs.

I found a site once, dont remember where it is, that has kind of a competition to see how much time they can waste of the scammers, and what they can get the scammer to do. Send embarassing fotos etc... was actually a pretty entertaining site...

I've heard of that. They have them film themselves doing stupid things that I can't remember right now but then they have them post the vid on the web so they see that they actually did it. Why do we have to put up with such blanketyblankblank individuals who only try to rob us? If they worked at an actual job like they work at not working so they can scam others, they'd have more money than doing their scams.
