Hope you're kidding?!

I "win" around 2 million a day :lol:

I make it my mission to waste these scammers time, by pretending to be a would be victim.

www.419eater.com for more information. (the forum is having a few problems lately, with scammers that have got the hump! They're attacking the website, but it won't affect you if you visit.)

All that will happen if you fill out the details is that you'll get a request paying an admin or other similar charge to release the money. Either that or they'll use your details to steal your identity

LOL

If it wasn't a scam they would know the persons name at least they were giving 1 mill to.

There must be some people fall for scams else they wouldn't do it.

A rough figure from a scammer a while back..

$45,000 dollars (US) a MONTH, so plenty of people fall for it.

Maybe they coudl use some of the money to get themselves some literacy lessons to make the scamails a little more believable.

Or do people really read that poorly(or are that greedy) that they don't notice such obvious things?
