35%

[sherrardk]

Got my first ever scam email - you know the sort of thing "dear friend, I have loads of money that I shouldn't have ...". Tight git only wants to give me 35% of it, I'm holding out for at least 50%.

[tonyav]

Is that from one of our Nigerian cousins ?.

[sherrardk]

Yes, he's a regional manager of a bank with three lovely kids.

[lady-janine]

i'm sure if you give them all your bank details they will give/take all you've got.

[tonyav]

Only a bank manager, I would have thought it would have been the prime minister at least.

or Qadaffi's daughter - she's a nice touch, so I am told.

[abstibus]

Ban Ki Moon writes to me.

[2sp_]

I feel left out. No one ever emails me to give me money.

[dotty.]

i seem to have alot of 'dearest friends' with strange names, never send me a fekkin birthday card though but

[boxtops]

we seem to get them every so often - the one I receive a lot is from Canadian Pharmacy, trying to sell me Viagra.

[2sp_]

I do get the ones offering to help me enlarge my penis.

Must be highly effective stuff as I don't even have one.

[boxtops]

LOL sp, me too!

If you're bored, you could always play with them for a while.

I went through a phase of doing this a couple of years ago, it's highly entertaining :-)

[boxtops]

That means you've got to reply to them, B00 - I don't want them to know I'm here :-)

[sherrardk]

I just feel a bit ripped off that I am only being offered 35% :(

[DTCwordfan]

poor 2sp - she's had a clitorectomy.......I am so upset that Islamic practices are now affecting ABers......Boo Hoo.

[tonyav]

Boo, your link says file can't be found.

[boxtops]

If it's millions, though, sher, it'll be a fair amount of dosh.

[B00]

I used a throw away email address for it boxy. Basically just reply to the email from your new addy. They'll never clock that they didn't mail that address to begin with.

Like I said, it's just something to do if you're bored, it can get very very funny.

[B00]

Really tony? It worked for me.

Google 419 eater.com.
