Play along with him BUT NEVER give out personal information.

Lots of fun can be had with these scam-meisters.

forward it ..along with the headers to [email protected]

its a scam you honestly dont believe it do you??

[ummmm]

Go to www.419eaters.com

Then go to the archive......have a little read, it's very funny, but they are all scammers. The man from 419 scammed the scammers. He made one of them copy out Harry Potter by hand and got another to get a tatoo of a fake religion.

[ummmm]

Wardy got dumped by his nigerian princess didn't you Ward?

You have been warned,be very careful.

The best one is when you ask for them holding up placards.

The best one was "I support The National Front". Poltically incorrect, but rather funny.

For some reason it always seems to be Nigeria

[ummmm]

Admarlow managed to get them to hold up 'farewell to the AnswerBank from Admarlow' just before he went on his travels.....cool

[ummmm]

You do that......seriosly check out the website I gave you. Makes for very funny reading but all true

[Its John!]

[lostboy87]

just did lol,typed the name of the sender and there is loads all over the net from the same woman.

[Lonnie]

I've had a couple of these, just treat it as spam and delete it, if you give them your bank details, you'll get burned, big time.

[###w-m###]

post her email address here, I shall play along

[lostboy87]

i deleted now,sorry.

if they email you again send a email saying you will sue if they dont stop.

my friend kept getting emails from this thing that sent you a joke everyday. nothing could stop it. in the end she sent a random spur of the moment, desperate last attempt to get them to stop, email,i think it went somthing along the lines of "WTF stop sending me these f*cking emails or I'll sue you!!!!"

about 5 mins later she got a very formal reply saying they had canceled sending her emails and were very sorry for the inconvinience....XD
