Scamming the scammers
We reply to the scam emails that you've sent us, sometimes resulting in hilarious dialogue and comical, yet abruptly ending conclusions.
Husband killed in an uprising
We received an email from Helen Kone, pertaining to be from the Ivory Coast and using an email address that we traced to France. Mrs Kone stated that her husband had recently been killed in an uprising and needed help in releasing Mr Kone's $7.5 million to an account in the UK.A large box of money
We've received a new email from Dr Kalume Zaman, a social worker with an international Non-Governmental/Voluntary organization based in Switzerland. Dr Kalume is just back from Iraq where in the cause of performing his duties, he found, in a box, a large amount of money in cash in an abandoned house. We're going to help him get it into the UK, or so he thinks...Huge funds moving between banks
We've received a new email from Hugh Ferrier who was sent a 'scam' request from Dr. Adeniji Olu. Apparently, there are some 'huge funds' moving within banks and we're in line for a big payout.From Russia with love
We've received a new scam from Ellie in the Tiscali forums who has a request from a girl who lives in Russia. Natalia's goal is to leave the country, because it's difficult being a sexy woman alone there. How much it this going to cost us?Compensation payment
We've received an email from Raymond Northgreaves who received an offer of $800,000 in compensation for past assistance. We've been requested to contact Mr Wilson Bolaji to claim the money, but he wants $350 for the cost of a stamp!Funds from a bomb blast
We've been sent an email from Brian Tudor who received a communication from Barrister Edward Saka. Edward's client, wife and their three children were involved in terrible bomb blast when they visited Nigeria to attend seminar. There's $25 million up for grabs here if we're willing help.My evil stepmother
We've been asked us to help Latifa retrieve $6.5 million dollars that her evil stepmother is also trying to get her hands on. After her father died, Latifa had her passport taken by her stepmother, but managed to hide her fathers fortune and now needs our help to transfer it to England.I'm dying, here's my money
We've received an email from Sister Elizabeth Bamba, whose husband died leaving a small fortune. Elizabeth hasn't got long to live and wants to leave her money to a church for charitable reasons. While this rather sick attempt to scam us is in very poor taste, we'll lead her on and see where this goes.Buried treasure
We've received a new email from Antony Talbot who was sent a 'scam' request from Mr Bonaventure. Luckily for Mr Bonaventure, he found a large sum of money buried in a box and wants us to help set up a business in the UK. The money has been moved to Thailand-Bangkok and we've been asked to keep this whole affair very secret, so please don't read the correspondence on these pages...A business investment
We've received a new email from Miss Isowo Amedi who has $2 million to invest in our business idea. She wants our details and a picture, so we're going to string her along and see how things develop?Any vacancies please?
We've received an email from an hotelier who has made us aware of a scam that is currently occurring in the Cornwall area. We've taken over the correspondence from one of the hotels that was targeted and will see how this develops.Another Nigerian scam
We've been passed an email from Peter Neish who received an offer relating to $10 million that is being held in Nigeria. We've contacted Linda, who is keen to work with us to release these funds to a bank in the UK and we're going to get 40% of these funds for our trouble.Investing in the UK
We've been passed an email from Geoff Griffiths who received an offer relating to $50 million that is being put aside for investment in the UK. We've contacted Samir, who is keen to work with us to release these funds to a bank in the UK. No doubt he'll be asking for some money off us before long.Those pesky Ecomog soldiers
Aishat Zongoson lost her husband to those pesky Ecomog soldiers in Sierra Leone. The good news is, she has $25.5 million dollars that she hopes we'll help her invest in our country. We've dusted off our holy garments and will now embark on a mission of mercy as we continue to scam the scammers.Advertisement starts
