A scam from Nigeria.

Do NOT give your banking info.

Don't fall for it, give it to your local police fraud unit asap and report it to your internet provider asap.

Some of these idiot scammers from Nigeria even came into the org chatroom, I shit you not.

Hi Luv, I know it is a scam..

I think if Bill Gates wanted to give 2 million pounds to eleviate poverty... couldn't he do it directly instead of some bullshit lottery..

fuck you

What kind of idiot would believe this?

It was a bit played out when I made my sig from a scam e-mail, but to actually start a whole thread about it? At least mine had some amusing wording.

Oh, look at all the old-schoolers, icenine, bliss and 'em. My threads were a bit short on quality it has to be said. A bit like pplrain's are still.

If you don't like the thread you can skip it... that's what normal people do.

It is for the scammers who think everyone is stupid.
