They recently showed a woman on CNN who fell for such a scam. Man, if you afterwards learn about it, you must really feel very stupid.

Supposedly, the original Version of this scam has cost people 8 billion dollars world wide and funding various rebel and terrorist organization.

Personally, I would forward this email to all the banks in south africa and tell them someone is trying to commit fraud. I would also forward a copy to the FBI which has an ongoing manhunt for the parties involved

I get these about once every 2 weeks at work. Franky I almost think these scams should not be illegal since the people that fall far them are so dumb they don't deserve to have any cash.

Really, that would just encourage more of the same.

Your mailbox would fill up faster than you could blink an eye.

What was wrong with that E-mail? Seems perfectly resonable to me. Hey, send that guy me E-mail Address... I could use the money.

Oh I got an email like that Last month. I replied to it and now I have over 45mill sitting in my bank account.

I'm also raking in around 200,000 a week from my pyramid cash distribution scheme, and I'm also getting incredible results from a miraculous new drug-free, non-surgical penis enlargement technique.
