    A while ago I got these “Nigerian” spam emails too asking me to contact them and send money to claim a big fund….etc.

    I responded and ask them to contact me ASAP by phone so I could get the money by sending them the check….We emailed back and forth, I gave them one at a time several fake long distance phone numbers to call, first to me ASAP, then to my secretary, then to my mom and lawyer, each time with more urgency….The emails came back kept saying they tried several times but not able to reach the correct number…..

    I hope those guys paid some long distant fee trying. Anyway, I had fun keeping them excited for nothing for a while.

    I would have given them the phone number to my local FBI office.

    These creeps end up scamming people – like older people, etc.

    It’s just a shame.

    dharmagirl, that’s actually a good idea. I didn’t think of it at that time. At the time, I thought that their scam were pretty stupid and childish and wouldn’t be able to convince anyone.

    I have an online store, and used to get a few Nigerian scam e-mails every month. They would ask if they could buy thousands of dollars worth of product on a credit card, and out of the goodness of their heart, add another grand over the sales price. I’ve since added a note to my payment info page that says “we reserve the right to decline credit card orders from countries (Nigeria, for example) which encourage widespread credit card fraud.”

    I haven’t gotten another e-mail since.
