Wow! Just got through this VERY funny thread! I had no idea about scambaiting. Hysterical. I especially liked the story about the sausage machine being set on kielbasa instead of brat! Busted out laughing. Mike
Just picked up on this thread and read it from start to finish. Classic. Here is what I found in my 'inbox' this morning: Philips Banks TEL : +234 80241 63418 Hello Dear I am Philips Banks from Sierra Leone presently leaving in Lagos the economic capital of the Republic of Nigeria. I came to Lagos because of the political crisis we had in our country which you are aware or even the world knows about. My late father Dr Christopher Banks was the proud owner of (Banks & SON LIMITED) a Gold mining company.Before of the crisis in my country that lead to his death, he was exporting gold and Diamond to europe and Saudi Arabia through diplomatic means,because of his dead and with what is happening in our country there is no way this business can continue.So my mother and i decided that we should invest abroad.Now we have in our possesion a physical cash of ($1.5 million )one million, five hundred thousand united state dollars deposited by my late father in an inte rnational bank based in the ivory coast(a french colony located in the western coast of africa). Currently, my mother is sick and she is lying low with sickness in our family house down there in our village,she need to be taken to the hospital for medical checkup and recieve some treatments,please i am seeking for your kind assistance to help us out to retrieve the (money) from the bank, so that we can from there solve some other amenities lacking in the family. I will like you to help us in retrieving and also transfering the money to your country if possible for business purposes or to invest it in your countrys stock exchange.i believe it will yield some profits. I am honourably soliciting your assistance in the following ways. 1) to arrange for a suitable college where i would further our education as i'm are still under graduates. 2) To prepare a bank account where this money would be lodged in after reclaiming it from the bank. Moreover, you can indicate your option towards assisting us as we have m apped out 15% of the total sum for you as compensation for your assistance. Philips Banks. thinking I should email him back...he seems like he needs help
+1 to getting updates. Dateline NBC did a special last night on 419 scammers...it was nice to see Chris Hanson busting someone other than pedaphiles for once. If you are a Monte Python fan and have about 7 minutes to watch this, it's an amusing video found on 419eater.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-XeFuBGvqs

The first thing you MUST do is contact a really good surgeon. If you tear an intercostal muscle from laughing too hard, you are going to hurt for a really long time. Man, could I have a good time with this? Best of luck.
