One for the BAN button I think.

 

[DoctorP]

yeah, he sent me one too! I'm just waiting for the money to hit my account now!

 

[Bounty Hunter]

Is that the one i posted on the chit chat area or is that your own one?

This is quite funny.

i have had several e-mails like this in the past. its so funny thinking that their is someone so dumb to do this.

 

[kirei_na_me]

Okay, jeyaka has been banned. Thanks for the heads up. Let us know if it happens again.

 

[DoctorP]

You mean it's not real? He's not sending the money to my account?

I had already made plans for my 25% cut! :?

 

[Anon.coward 'no. 2']

the "spammer"

It reminds me of the mail scam I saw on TV some months ago,the pattern is the same anyway:
Nigerian Scams - Nigeria email 419 Advance Fee Fraud.

 

[TwistedMac]

got it.

these scams are as old as the internet, just never got them in pms on a forum before

you should check out MC Frontalot's song on the topic.. Message no 419. very amusing stuff.

Older than the internet.

 

[TwistedMac]

They didn't dare to spam me
Good for them.

 

[kirei_na_me]

Didn't spam me either, but they got banned anyway...*whip*...

 

[Brooker]

I got it too. It seemed like such a good deal that I immediately sent them my credit card number, a list of my movements throughout the course of the day, and gave them the combination to the pad lock on my bike. You guys don't know what you're missing! I'm gonna be rich!!!

 

[jovial_jon]

Oh man, I wish I was as smart as you Brooker!

 

[King of Tokyo]

I'm trying to decide what to spend my 19 million on... Man that guy is gonna feel like such a ****** for giving me that much..
