I got that one a couple of years ago.

I always reply to these but never get a response back.

[Rain Man]

This is new to you?

Welcome to the Internet.

Sounds like a sweet deal. Do it

Didn't read any further. SCAM

[listopencil]

I've heard of the Nigerian banker, the deposed Nigerian king and the wealthy Nigerian businessman fleeing a coup. But not the Nigerian engineer.


I responded and am hoping for an E-Mail back.

[Rain Man]

I've been inundated with the spam recently that always says the same thing. Let me pull it out of my "deleted" box.

Here you go.


Hello! I am tired today. I am nice girl that would like to chat with you. Email me at g@imailmessage.info only, because I am writing not from my personal email. I will show you some of my private pictures

The e-mail address changes in every one, but otherwise it's always the same.

I have two words of advice for the mongoloid two-steppers who send these things.

1. Don't send me 50 of them that are exactly identical but from different names. Even the most stupid person is going to figure out that it's a scam. Send just one. If I don't respond to that one, I'm never going to respond.

2. For crying out loud, stop sending it from men's e-mail addresses. In my deleted files, I've got this same e-mail from the following "people": Emery Chapman, Janice Daniels, Herman Spicer, and Glen William. Do you really think I'm going to respond to that e-mail when it's from someone named Herman Spicer or Glen William? You guys are idiots.

Those scammers really need to hire me to do some market research for them. I could probably triple their profits within three months.

ROFL

[listopencil]

The Nigerian Engineer screwed up as well. The reply E-Mail address doesn't match up with the one it was sent from. One was Yahoo and the other Hotmail.

I know. I could make a much better scam E-Mail than those.

We should possibly consider working together on this as a new business venture.

Um...can you wire me some money to help start up the office in Nigeria?

I'll need your checking account number and your routing number. My service won't let me wire money without it.

OVER INFLATED CONTRACT SUM OF USD$15,000,000.00

That sum is overinflated?
I would assume two pipelines would not even get blue-printed for that.
