How can anything like that be true?? Too good to believe.Anybody who has fallen for it will not want to admit their stupidity and greed I believe. H'ver, I don't receive any more of these letters by replying and telling them that they will receive
bad karma if they continue doing it....I ask them to see if any good happens to them after they have cheated people off their money. I reminded them that what goes around comes around.

I read something somewhere that said if we get any Nigerian-type scams that we should send headers and such to the address spam@uce.gov. I have done it and I did see a reduction in how many scams I got. I believe I got this address from the FCC site.
A lot of the time the forged headers contain info for BellSouth or Charter or RoadRunner - all ISPs and they come back and say " this email did not originate from our servers". That is when I use that Federal anti-spam address.
I have never lost anything because these emails are too good to be true and anything that is too good to be true on the internet is generally bad.

It's called a 419 scam, after the area code for NIgeria where many of the scammers are. It's always a scam-no exceptions.

You can't get ANSWERS without a QUESTION. This is NOT a question. It also doesn't say anything we don't all know. BTW, this scam predates the Internet. It originally circulated by FAX machine.
