    A colleague is currently playing with 419 scammers, and has been for a few weeks now.

    He's supposed to be flying to Madrid today to meet up with them and pay the "handling fee" so he can get his hands on the $39m he is due. ;)

    This is what my colleague he says he looks like (the scammers asked for a photo):

    This is the inheritance lawyer ("Daniel Findlay") he's taking with him:

    And this is the security expert ("Rob Kemp") he's taking along for protection:

    Damn!

    Why don't these people ever contact me?

    A share of 49.5 million would come in quite handy for the new yacht.

    If you like this, visit 419eater.com, where 'scambaiters' mess with these scammers just for giggles and to waste the scammers time. They also work with scamwarners. Com to provide educational resources. They'd love your support!
  • A couple of years ago, I was involved in heavy negotiations with an "American military contractor" who found a packing case containing $20,000,000 in Iraq, and if I helped him to get it shipped to Europe, he would pay me $10 million.

    I set up a disposable e-mail account and I became Hans Frodo, director of shipping for British Airways in London.
    I managed to drag it out for a fair while, and I was sent proof of the American's ID.

    It must be genuine as it doesn't look at all photoshopped!
