I kept hearing about those but I never actually received one. Now I feel like I'm part of a community. Check this baby out, it's in broken English and everything:

Burkina Faso instead of Nigeria. NO ONE WILL KNOW! Yeah that's the only bummer about that one. I essentially got the shoddy knockoff of the brand name Nigerian Prince scam e-mail. |

I like how he points out that "this is a legitimate transaction" that was the main selling point for me, I didn't believe him until then but after reading that I sent him every bit of personal information that I could find, bank account #, SSN, everything. Just give me my 40%, KHAN!

I admit it's one hobby of mine to reply to those with completely outrageous information to see how long I can keep the scammer replying.

I figured it was an automated thing and they just collect the info and buy themselves diamond ponies that they'll call Butt Stallion or whatever it is you do with the money of the gullible. |

Oh they actually reply, but you gotta ask for more information. Like "I'D BE TOTALLY HAPPY TO DO THIS BUT..." and then you tell them a completely dumb excuse and ask them to help you out with it. Depending on how believable it is, they totally reply to you. |

I once replied and told the guy that, by a fortunate coincidence, I was actually going to be in his country (Mozambique) on business in a couple of months. I asked if we could just meet face to face to exchange the information, but he insisted that it would be best to have everything arranged in advance. Unfortunately, my "business trip" was ultimately cancelled, so, after e-mailing back and forth for weeks, I had to break the bad news to him that we wouldn't be able to work together.

You should really mess with them, ask them to do outlandish things and take photos of it, one guy on some other forum made them advertise he was sending dog meat to a famous Korean.

I once received one that was supposedly from the widow of a pastor, wanting me to distribute her late husband's money. I laughed so hard reading it. I ended up just deleting it, but I considered replying with "Wasn't one of the Ten Commandments 'Thou Shalt Not Steal'?".

I got one a few months ago from a "GI" who came across a large amount of cash and a cache of weapons including a nuke in "Aftganerstan". I replied inquiring about the nuke. I got no reply, Ahhh shit.
