I guess there are actually people who "fall" for it, 'cause there always more or the same coming, just different "twists". Must be true about the saying "a sucker born every.....". Delete, delete, delete.

It is genuine, an opportunity for a trustworthy, honorable citizen to help in this unusual, slightly off the record mission authorised by the SACAR(South African council administration for the retrieval of former apartheid related diverted funds and investments). Retired vice-consul Dr. G. Harrison Boullshito confirmed this in his private, confidential e-mail to me after my initial enquiries.

They have been unable to find assistance, until I volunteered, most people unjustly regard this as a scam. Of course they need to confirm who I am and require a bond as security, before they reveal the exact location of the suitcase and the secret combination of the lock. Chief justice R. Star Upyuorrs of Muggaidiut personally guarantees for the safety of the $ 20.000 I send them and the return of my passport, after indorsement and granting of diplomatic status.

I feel sorry for the many cynics, who turned down the chance to further a worthwhile course and reap a sizable reward in return.

I would like to find a way to screw these poeple out of a few buck.

Just ignore these messages, no matter where they appear to come from.

Send the article to Trink. He used to like padding out his column in the Post every week with that cr@p. I wonder if he's doing the same on his website?

I read a hilarious internet report some time back about a group of IT college students that spent their weekends harassing the Nigerian scam crowd.

Basically they would create personalities that would respond and lead the Nigerians on and on with elaborate tales and finally agree to send them the big bucks. Usually the delivery is made to a Fedex style "hold for pickup" location. The key was this, they would send it to the wrong location about 400 kilometers away and put a valuation on it that would cause taxes to be paid. Also, they mistakenly checked the bill to recipient box only noticed after the box was shipped and with great apologies. So after a 400 kilometer ride through the bush and about 16,000 baht in shipping and delivery charges the Nigerian scammers would open the fedex in Nigeria to find..... well lets just say it was not the cash they expected.

Geeks can be dangerous with spare time on their hands.

I promise I'm going to figure out out to use these quotes properly. In the mean time, that really, really, really, was an story worth reading. I for one don't like to be scammed and when I read a "true story" like that, I don't know, just seems like a little "payback" in a small way. An "excellent read all the way to the end!
