All you Nigerian princes, widowed diplomat's wives, orphaned African bank president's adult children, dying heiresses, lottery winners, and US soldiers "serving" in Muslim countries who have multi-millions of dollars you desperately want to send me so that I can help you sneak it out of wherever... go ahead. Send it to me. You can trust me. My Paypal donation button is right over there on the side. Or you can change the money into Bitcoins and send it to me that way. Just attach a note saying who you are and how much my cut is, and give me a hint when you'll want yours.
I promise I will split it with you however you want. Later. After everything clears and I spend a little- never any of your cut- to make sure the money is spendable.
But you might as well stop sending me the emails because they go to my junk folder and I quickly delete them (yeah, I do read one occasionally for a laugh).
Just a little advice, though... To make your emails more believable (besides the whole thing about wanting to send strangers, who don't even appear as the email recipient, vast sums of money), you might consider learning how names "work" in this part of the world, and realize that I have never seen an actual "barrister" in my whole life.
Oh, and one more thing... I am not your "Dearly Beloved in God".
Ah, the joys of automation in the scamming arts.

I don't know that it's such a great idea to offer them tips...
ReplyDeleteWhile their attempts are laughable, they do actually work on some gullible people. Helping them refine their technique could help them con more people in the future.
You think they actually read blogs?
