The last one I got was from a Russian "Oligarth" who seemed to be in hiding and was suspected of being a spy

Went on about his oil company and how he was a mate of President P*T** in Russia and wanted a bit of assistance to shift his dosh....

Thought about sending him one of my old Cambodian Bank accounts just to see whats happens......

Most of the people that I get wanting me to invest in their millions come from south Africa ?

I got something in tha mail said i won the spanish lottery (which i never entered).

I though I would ring them just for fun, they guy said They will send me the chq but I had to pay them an insuranve fee of $2000 odd dollars. Apparently i needed to pay this within 1 day or I lose my winnings. He was trying to explain why and i burst out laughing. Then he gets all upset saying this is not a joke, I said i know its a scam and hung up.

I dont know why these guys even try stupid stuff like this

Because they make shit loads of cash out of it. Numbers game, hit enough people and some idiot will send the 2000 Dollars.

This thread reminded me of a Live Journal-ist who carried on a correspondence with a Nigerian scammer as Narcissa Malfoy.

Clearly it's funnier if you're a Potter fan.

You phoned them, they now have your phone number, they know you exist, expect more of the same. Also check your phone bill, you may have been talking at 25 dollars a minute!!!

I got a plan that I get billed for the same amount every month and get a couple of hundred $ of overseas calls a month.

Its ok, they can ring me as much as they want, it would be amusing t see what other things I will win
