Termyn8or -> RE: USA, Non-USA, and Nigeria (7/8/2007 10:28:15 AM)

Does anybody really fall for this shit ? I mean somebody must or they would stop doing it, but then I never buy anything from telemarketers and they don't get the fucking idea either.
Yeah, my dead Uncle had thirty trillion dollars in the bank of east bumfuckt Nigeria. Right, he worked at Ford.
Couple of years ago my buddy gets a letter to his dead greatgrandfather, about some money in Nigeria. Now let me get this straight, Edward Weisberg had so much money it wouldn't fit in US banks ? Or did Ed Weisberg father an illegitimate child who rose to power in some micro-nation down there and got rich. And of course he was the only living relative, except for his brother and sisters and cousins and whatever else, but HE and only HE could handle this matter, because he was the favorite nephew/grandson/whatever of this person he never met. Came as quite a surprise since he is the balck sheep of the family.
Now you give me an IQ test without word jumbles I'll show you a score, so we gave careful thought to possibly trying to scam the scammer. Many scams involve an original boodle, or at least the appearance of a boodle. They'll send you a bad check or something and for example tell you to cash it and send them the money to pay the taxes on a lottery prize or something like that. Funny how you don't remember playing the Nigerian lottery.
We considered what could be done, remember the first element of a scam is the mark. All you need is someone who wants something for nothing. Easy to find would be an understatement. Well a scaamer would make an excellent scamee.
Believe me in our younger days we played alot of games. With dirty dees and trickery we made alot of money, for example my buddy made about $10,000 off a three hundred dollar car. The dude traded the car for a bunch of hot lighting fixtures, chandeliers and such. Back then you could get away with shit. Yes, I was much older then, when I was young. Like getting $8,000 worth of lumber for $1.35.
We figured we could take this guy, but didn't persue it. I figured maybe we could get him for his initial investment. Sometimes they do actually send you the money, but then they get the routing numbers for your checking account. We're hip to that. Not to worry, just open a new account and take the free toaster and shut up.
One day I do hope to scam a scammer, and y'all will be the second to know if I pull it off. Momma didn't raise no fools. Even stealing my wallet is not a good idea. I got like eight credit cards, some are high interest or whatever so I don't use them. They are in my wallet and really, worth about $50,000 altogether, but I carry the expired ones. There are only two current. One mastercard and one gas card. The bank card, by my MOST VOICIFEROUS REQUEST to the bank has no logo and is no good for anything without the PIN. What's more money is only fed to that account to cover the checks I write. For money I (we) have a safe. I'd like to see some scammer down in bumfucked Nigeria get into that.
Oh yes, I welcome a battle of wits with these people.
