One million dollars is mine!

<p>According to an email I got, if I only send them $200 for some kind of fee.</p>

<p>So my reply was to let my correspondent know I already got the million dollars, and I was very happy to receive it! And though most of it will be invested, I would like to present her with a new car! I’ve already paid the dealership for it, even, and all she has to do is provide me with the information the car dealership needs to deliver the car to her through its international affiliates (because she is, of course, not in this country… or so she says). The information I currently need is her name, address, phone number, and personal email address. </p>

<p>I think I will need additional information going forward, however, assuming I get a reply from her. :D</p>

<p>Oh, shucks. I really thought you won a mil. :D</p>

<p>I love your reply plan.</p>

3

<p>You should have asked for their bank account numbers as well.</p>

4

<p>Heck- I am waiting for much more than that from my Nigerian friend.</p>

5

<p>It is pretty scary that there are people who actually fall for this…
Our NJ talk radio station had a good time on air with one of these Nigerian make-you-rich guys…a good laugh !</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I wholeheartedly agree. Especially since this particular scam has been going on for years and years.</p>

<p>Owlice, good luck with that plan. Let us know how that works out for you.</p>

7

<p>Shucks, I was going to ask you to share a little.</p>

<p>thumper, I’ll do that as soon as my new friend takes delivery of the car!</p>

<p>No reply yet; maybe I should have mentioned that the car is a Range Rover. Next email I send out, I’ll remember to let her know!</p>

<p>You too? I won $25mm, and my fee was only $100. I should be getting the funds any day now.</p>

10

<p>I was thinking about becoming the next Miss Chloe…all one needs is to tell people what they want to hear and collect a small fee…over and over again :)</p>

11

<p>Still no reply, but I did get an email letting me know I’d won a million Euros in the Euro Million Sweepstakes! All I have to do is call someone in Belgium and give him some information so I can get my money! </p>

<p>Hmmmm… seems he should foot the bill for the call, so I’ll send him a phone number and ask him to call me!</p>

12

<p>I love that you’re doing this, but you do know that, every time you respond, you’re letting them know that they’ve found a real e-mail address, right??</p>

<p>DDs friend is selling a car, the darn buyer happens to be traveling in Europe now so is paying cash up front by Western Union. The friend only needs to pay the $200 WU fee to have the money sent.</p>

<p>That’s fair isn’t it? :D</p>

14

<p>I don’t get any of these mails anymore-
It’s kinda disappointing not to hear about my royal relatives who have left a treasure chest to me.</p>

15

<p>My dad keeps winning the spanish lottery, apparently about 4 times now. That’s about 200 million dollars! So ha! And no fees, they just need his bank account number so they can put all the money in it! Score! I have no idea why he keeps putting the letters into our recycling bin…:)</p>

My late father, an extremely intelligent man, did actually fall for the Nigeria scam though back when it was a snail mail scam. I like to think it was because we had lived in Nigeria for several years so he thought that was how they knew of him :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I also won the UK lottery once apparently :smiley: And I even actually had bought tickets for it in the past - how nice that I won after the tickets had expired and that they went to the trouble of tracking down my email address.</p>

17

<p>OP,
Do you, really pay attention to junk mails or you are just joking to entertain us?</p>

18

<p>Actually, serious question:</p>

<p>Once these scammers get your bank account info, what do they do with it? I assume they clean you out, but how? Wouldn’t the bank need to be as stupid as you are?</p>

19

<p>that offering treasures has become too common! </p>

<p>They should switch to … guaranteed admissions to Harvard or Princeton. A nice story of a long lost relative who left a small fortune to the school in exchange for the guaranteed admissions of his (now lost) heirs. And it would so happen that a (now retired) school official is feeling bad for having hidden the truth for so many years about KNOWING the IDs of a few relatives. </p>

<p>Should work like a charm. After all, aren’t people sending their money to the crooks who sell those Washington, DC “educational” NYLF vacations?</p>
