You'd better hurry Scott, he is awaits your immediate prompt response (with random Capital letters in the sentences). If you don't prompt response you won't get your USD 5.8 that needs your immediate Attenstion.

I might be missing the point, but why would you be that concerned over less than $6? [&:] Why would the Bank of Switzerland and FBI contact a vicar in Nigeria to contact you?

Why not send him on a "Safari" You should tell the Reverend that you have a better idea he can meet you at the remote Uranium mine that you own in Niger. You'll pay him 100 large when he arrives but he'll need to pay for the charter flight to the mine.

damn bad day.
Guys, going to whin, be warned. And long post

so maybe some of you remenber that i brillantely succeeded some exams back in february this year.
With this exam, i could pretend to a new rank in the french administration.
Just so you can understand, there are 3 ranks, from C (the worst, wich i was) to A (the best). My exam entitled me to have a B job.

A few days after, i went to the RH departement of my administration/public service, and had a talk with the Major wich is the right arm of the Colonel leading the RH
(yes, i am in a public service with real true officers, but this is not the army).
This men told me that for the time being, no job with a new rank was expected to be created in our administration. I had to wait a bit.
But not too long: i only have 3 years to find a job of level B, and if not, i loose my exam.

In the end of june, there was an offer for a job level B in my administration. So i decided to attend (made a letter, had an interview, and so on).
Now here is waht disgust me.

Let me explain you as best as i can (not easy in a foreign language).
The job was held by a girl on private basis contract. That's a bit particular (but i won't enter political debate here, just explaining the facts and the law) but it is allowed by the law. Now, at the end of june , this contract end. And the RH departement offer the job again. Strangely, the job was to be a B or A level (should have been decided before seeing the people in interview). Of course, i wanted a B job, and i send my offer.
There were 3 people (with me) having a Public contract and exam willing the job, and the girl with the private contract. One of the 3 public worker already was working at a B level, had a A exam, and wanted the job on a A level.

What the law say is :"if there is a job, the public workers MUST have it first; only of no public workers look for the job can it be given to a private contract worker".
So we should have been only 3 to compete for the job. There was NO particular knowledge to have (that could explain what happened) and the girl that had the job was at the post since only 1 year, so there is not either a question of experience.

Not only does the RH departement choose the girl on private contract (wich is illegal), but they decided to attend her to a A level.....
Of course, she is probably more sexy than me when in short skirt [8|].

I am really disgusted with my service.

Eric,

Remember we once had a conversation about everything that happens happening for the best? I just bet that whoever runs that gig expects the same sexual favors regardless of who is holding the position. If I were you, I would rather have the girl in the miniskirt have the "honor". [;)][:'(]

ORIGINAL: Some spammer sending me emails.

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs Dorothy Suresh Garcia, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States, am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over US$20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.

So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet Mr.FESTUS AKINOLA, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.

He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $1,500,000.00 Moreover, Mr FESTUS AKINOLA, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your name as one of the beneficiaries, and your email address, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact FESTUS AKINOLA.

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name :Barrister FESTUS AKINOLA
Email: SPAMMYSPAMMER@micro.lt
Phone: +234-808-454-4787.

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.

The only money I paid after I met Mr.FESTUS AKINOLA was just US$580 for the paper works, take note of that.

Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr.FESTUS AKINOLA so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with tose liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Mrs Dorothy Suresh Garcia

No ****, whoever is sending out these emails is fake?!?! [X(] Does that mean that Mr FESTUS AKINOLA is also a fake? Along with Mrs Dorothy Suresh Garcia? I'm confused, and why is Mr.FESTUS AKINOLA using a Lithuanian(?) email address?

At least it's upfront about lying to me [:D]

EDIT: I changed the email address, he isn't really at SPAMMYSPAMMER. But I would tip my hat to him if he had used it [:D]

I just found out that the news gets even better, I couldn't believe it! I'll bet you thought that there was no way the situation could improve. Get this:

He's on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/people/Festus-A ... 0116679109

I don't even need to go to Nigeria, I can just add him as a friend and save thousands in air travel and not be murdered as soon as I step outside the airport terminal. [8D]

That's hilarious. Festus must be doing well. Nice shirt, nice office. [:D]

Pros:

1) Festus lists himself as a lawyer, hence eminently trustworthy.
2) He's on facebook, big points for credibility there.
3) He has the testimony of a woman in Texas that can potentially be verified.

Cons:

Too numerous to mention.

Conclusion:

There are a lot of stupid people in the world. I'm going to be come a scammer.

Oh T, you're such a cynic [:-] Not based in Africa[8|], next you'll be telling me my new facebook friend isn't a lwayer in Africa -or- called Festus. Anyway, everyone knows the Eastern Europeans are getting their money from the adult entertainment industry [:D]

Every so often I like to check my spam box and make sure no real emails have been sent there by accident. And sometimes I like to see what sad new stories they're trying to use.

After many, many years of Nigerian scam letters, it seems the originators of such scams are wising up, albeit only just a bit. I now receive more non-Nigerian scam letters than I do Nigerian scam letters. Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon and Seychelles are now proportionally well represented.

For those of you looking for a laugh, you may want to check out one of my favorite scam baiter sites. This guy (a Brit by the handle of "Shiver Me Timbers") is a master craftsman and has my undying respect:

http://www.419eater.com/

I've noticed there are a lot of evil uncles out there in Africa who are denying their recently orphaned relatives their rightful inheritence but still allowing the orphan access to the internet and emails [X(] As well as research facilities to let them look me up.
The head of the FBI has been contacting me personally be email as well. The thing is, I'm sure I'd know if someone had suspended one of my bank accounts with $5,000,000 in it [:D]

dear thread...this gentleman seems to be in quite the position to make me rich beyond my dreams...what say you?

Hello,

I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it was borne out of desperation and opportunity which has to be utilized.I deem it necessary to partner with you in this lucrative business opportunity. I'm talking about crude oil trading! Crude oil trading is considered as the most legitimate and fastest money making machinery anyone can setup.

...

Feel free to ask for clarifications.

Regards,
