Original and for once not a variation upon the ‘Nigerian’ theme.
Speaking of the Nigerian email scam thingie. A while ago there was a thread here with replies to these emails, really cracked me up
Recently I came across this one:
I enjoy having fun with the Generals son who has 11$ million dollars in an Ivory Coast bank that was stolen by his father before he was murdered by the Nigerian Secret Police.
After trading emails insisting I have fax’d my bank transit number, etc. I usually finish the game by:
Grandly announce that I am Sywet Motos, Prefect of the Nigerian Secret Police and that I have trapped him at last,
Introduce him to the minister’s daughter who has 67$ million dollars in a Togo bank that was stolen by her father before he was murdered by the Togo Secret Police, suggest that they work with each other, and demand a 15% finders fee.
