You should right him back some ridiculous response trying to sell him a bent wire hanger as an assscratcher and demand his bank account information to invest in this once in a lifetime oppurtunity of what will surely be the hottest selling item this Christmas.

Not only is it an ass scratcher but turn it to the other end and it becomes a nosepicker.

I think you'd be ineligible for this prize since you obviously have a preference for their competition.

I'm amused by the "?,000,000 pounds" amount... does the "?" mean they're going to send me a blank check and I can just fill it in myself?

he wasnt finished going through his sock drawer for coins when he sent the email...

How's your SPAM folder doin' folks? Mine still runneth over with offers to split millions of dollars in unclaimed foreign bank accounts, shady job offers, or letters informing me that I've won millions in British pounds (?) in online lotteries sponsored by big companies like Coca-Cola, BMW and Toyota. These are always tons of fun to read, of course, but they're nothing I haven't seen a zillion times already.... until I got this one today. The "Almost English" on this thing is off the freakin' charts. I honestly don't know WHAT it is they're trying to tell me. Is this a "business" proposal of some sort? Are they offering me a job? Did I win something? I don't know cuz I can't understand a word of it!!

Mind you, the subject line of this beauty was "Good Day From B.B.C. News" ... maybe it's just me, but I always thought they spoke English pretty fluently at the B.B.C., but this missive would seem to indicate otherwise :blink:

Enjoy!

'Fraud Monitory Unit'

yes - we sound all officialitalory all right...

A lady in my office just asked me if I knew how to open a ZIP file. I sez "Yeah, why?" and she sez that she got an e-mail that she "thinks is spam" but she's not sure. I sez "You want to open an attachment in an e-mail that 'MIGHT' be spam? Are you nuts?"

So I go over to her desk and she shows me the e-mail, it's one of those classic broken-English scam mails pretending to be from United Parcel Service, saying "We were unable to deliver your package to its intended destination, please click here for more information." I sez "Have you sent a package through UPS recently?"... she sez "no." I sez "Well, there you go. And even if you HAD sent a package via UPS, why would they have your e-mail address? If you open that sh*t, you can say goodbye to your hard drive."

...now that I think about it, it would've been more entertaining to let her open the attachment, just to hear her scream as her computer was filled with barnyard porno or whatever godawfulness was hidden inside.

Sheesh.

wow. I didnt realize people still fell for that stuff. I guess it keeps McAfee's bottom line growing.

You should check out this site http://www.419eater.com/, it's class. Shiver Metimbers is the best, once he convinced a scammer to get a tattoo saying "Baited by Shiver", and another time he got the scammer to send him £400.

The pictures are gas, too...

Got another bizarro-world, Almost-English mail today... the only proper response to this baby was "Who the hell are you and what the f**k are you talking about?"

FINALLY, my first scam mail in years! I used to just delete them but after reading this thread I have been waiting for one. Here's what I got plus my reply. If I hear back I'll post it here.

my reply:

Hello Vlad,

It is great to hear from you. How's your family? I haven't seen them in ages and I hope your brother is doing well these days. How long has it been? I don't
think we have talked in many years but I'll give you an update on my life over the past 5 years.

7 years ago I won the Powerball Jackpot in the amount of 255 MILLION DOLLARS. I didn't needlessly spend my money I invested it in Apple and Steve Jobs
personally gave me a job with Apple over my generous donation. While working at Apple I helped develop the "glass" on the iPhone, iPod and iPad. If you have
one be careful with it as the glass can crack easily if dropped. I also invest million in Otter Box for the iPhone to protect the glass I help invent. As a
result of my wise investments I have more than doubled my 255 million and have no need for your monetary funds. 13 million is "chump change" to me so any
monetary award you have for me you can donate to The American Heart Association.

Thanks for your consideration,

Alfonso P. Schladmihndahsnick
