i just want to share with everyone another personal experience about these people. i read the one on the email page, and i think someone should add this to that so people know just how horrible these Nigerians really truly are.

i worked for a company that's known worldwide for their communications telephone and such. anyways i was working in a call center making phone calls for deaf/hearing impaired/mute people. in any event we worked on a statewide level and nationwide level as well thru www.ip-relay.com check that site if u never have.
anyways, someone comes in typing to u (the operator) and they give u a number to dial. u make the call and talk to the person. u type what they say, and read what the deaf person types in response. anyways 90% of all our calls pertained to Nigerian and Ghana scam calls. they would call a company and ask for 500 blood pressure monitors, or 800 spark plugs, or home theater systems or portable dvd players. basically anything they could buy in bulk they want. and they'll tell u all kinds of bullshit about money orders or senging u money into ur bank acct and it's untrue. they're ripping u off for thousands of dollars. hell they even call ads in the paper for puppies and rip people off for expensive dogs 800-1500 bucks. don't take phone calls like that. i quit the job because i felt bad for people. it's ridiculous. be careful folks, be careful

I've had a few of those African spammers contact Me even through CM... What I like to do is jerk them around & waste their time I figure if I've got them occupied then they're leaving someone else alone!!!
