It's sometimes fun to play with these people and string them along. Many people make a sport of it and post their results on the web. Post the original email with the address and I can try my hand at it!

For me life is too short to waste my time this sitting behind a computer to make sport of it. I cannot fiqure why someone want to do it?

Everyone does something to make life pass. Some people go to foreign lands to kill Haji for fun, some play golf, some surf the internet for porn, some watch reruns of sitcoms, some drink their troubles away on lonely nights, others try to make a point where there is none. Now I don't know if it makes a drop of difference in the scheme of life but it seems to me if I keep the jackals occupied in some mindless game they will have a little less time to prey on the innocent who are prone to lose much money in these scams.

That was a great article..wish they wrote about other scenarios...
Some guys in Nigeria are also scamming Ebay and Paypal..luckily my son, who was selling a laptop, knew about it right before he put his item on ebay. Within minutes we had someone wanting to buy the laptop and wanting us to send it to her "daughter" going to school in Nigeria, as a surprise gift. They wanted to close the deal right then and have us mail it off first thing in the morning. We actully had about 3 Nigerian scam offers for that puter.

Up until recently, I worked at a Chamber of Commerce where we received calls from all around the country, asking us about the legitimacy of verifiable scams.

I worked very closely with both our local police station as well as the Federal Inspectors with the US Postal Service. The local police were especially concerned with email scams.

If you want to go to Spain, do it - just not to meet people who either want to hurt you or rip you off. It might sound cheesy, but talk to your "local authorities" about this; that's what they're there for.
