I get one of those every few days. I like it when they misspell Nigeria.

... It doesn't even sound real. You'd have to be pretty... gullible... to fall for such a scam.

But Kudi Owoh needs your help.

**Chaos** · 07-19-2004, 10:47 PM

Yeah it's Spam.
How do I know?
Kudi Owoh backwards spells Howo Iduk. Would you trust someone with a name like that?

I rest my case.

How this scam works is they send you a check and you send them what ever money they desire. (usually around $3000us or so) However, the check they send bounces, they aren't traced as its either fake or stolen, and you're out $3000. You shouldn't believe anything sent through email. Don't even trust stuff sent by people you know.

I'll tell you what: That email is spam as much as the majority of my posts are spam.

**Big D** · 07-20-2004, 05:09 AM

That's a classic scam.
ANYTHING AT ALL that is offering you money, but you have to pay first, WILL BE A SCAM THAT WILL LOSE YOU MONEY. Doesn't matter whether it's by email or posted mail.

Those kinds of rip-off deals ("I'm a politcal prisoner in [insert West African country here], please send me $20,000 to bribe my way out of prison and I'll replay you tenfold", etc) have been around for years, if not decades.

Never trust them, never reply.
If you send them any money at all, you will never see it again, and no-one will be able to help you.

But if you do it, we'll all make fun of you. Good deal, huh?

**BrittyGoesMow** · 07-20-2004, 07:22 AM

I got that one a looong time ago.
So did my mom.
Crazy

You should reply to them saying that you are going to kill them if they send you any more spam

Yeah, it's a scammer. I advise replying with something offensive.

<a href="http://www.419eater.com/">419eater</a> is a good start on material for scammers.

**Project G** · 07-20-2004, 02:20 PM

Their both great
