I can out do you, I got a phone call at work over this very same thing.

Wow, these people are really dumb if they think someone will go for it...

just a question of statistics .. if you have a 0.001% chance of someone actually going for it you send out 10,000,000 mails and have 100 people...

[Casheti]

S'pose so..

One born every minute as they say... I just hope it's not 0.001%

I've read some good articles on how people have turned these scams around to burn the scammer. Poetic justice is the sweetest thing.

[Canuto]

I'd like to see that.

[bruins004]

Hmmm is there an article on how they do that.
That would be an interesting read I must say.

[bruins004]

I wonder how they would react if you tried negotiating with them for a 50, 50 split (would just be amusing to see that).

[Sasqui]

I'd like to see that.

Watch out for pop-ups...

Most of them... they are poor in the pocket and morals... Apparently, there are even schools and conventions to teach that stuff.

The thread I read a while back was even funnier than the one I posted - and that one is a hoot in itself.

[Sasqui]

Oh - here's a whole bunch:
