scam letter?

[uls]

pareho lang yan dun sa Nigerian thing

[Galactus]

Yup, Nigerian letter with a twist.

Papadala ka muna ng pera sa kanya, as payment for taxes, or goodwill money, or whatever. After nun, wala ka nang maririnig sa kanya.

They're counting kasi na masisilaw ka dun sa matatanggap mo (US$ 15M), at ano ba naman yung ibibigay mo na expenses, kung malaki naman ang pay-out in the end

Tuwing nakakatanggap ako niyan before, I just designate it as Spam mail.

Now it's been a year, and so far walang pumapasok na ganyan sa inbox ko. Ang kaso, napalitan naman ng ads for Viagra/Cialis.

Big bucks yang Nigerian scammers na yan.

In Abuja (the capital) there are lots of internet cafes. Kung dito sa atin puno ang internet cafes with girls trying to hook up with foreigners, dun the cafes are full of 20ish guys typing up these scam (419) emails.

They make good money ha. The average scammer maybe succeeds 1% of the time, so by sending enough emails they are guaranteed a bling-bling lifestyle.

Not kidding. Those 20ish kids (the successful scammers, at least) drive around in Bimmers. And they don't consider it criminal because, they rationalize, they are stealing from rich Westerners who can afford to lose a few hundred dollars here and there. They also rationalize, these rich fat Westerners got victimized because of their own greed, so the victims deserve getting scammed.

Meron nga diyan Nigerian scam which begins

"Dear Sir,

I am Loi Ejercito Estrada, wife of former Philippines president Joseph Estrada."

Those Nigerian kids do their research, up-to-date mga scams nila.

i had identical case..kesyo 22 yrs old girl sya at namatay tatay nya at naiwan sa kanya ang billions na nasa business partener ng dad nya...something like that...

meyron ding yung nasa ospital sya and dying at maiwan nya yung billions nya...

medyo maging ok lang lahat ng nagpalit ako (re-register) ng email address ko...it took time bago mare-established ulit ang email correspondence ko but at least now eh wala ng letters na yun.

paminsan-minsan eh open ko old email ko at may bago na naman. madalas na sagot ko eh.."i wish i could help you but i am about to become a holy person and all i can do is to pray for you that you will not rot in hell".

i know that re-registering is not a good solution but i tried so many things already...sending it to different organization or offices that can do something about it but iyan nga di pa rin nawawala.

Just press the "delete" or "spam" button whenever you receive that kind of email. Also warn your friends or relatives to not answer these emails as there are still some trusting souls out there lured in this kind of scams.

Ako naman everyday may narereceive na mga scam emails like erase your loan, enlarge your p***s, etc.
