First of all, I want to let you know this rant,( LOL / :evil: )is not directed at any country, just con artists. Okay we all get these. :evil: The emails that someone died and has left their money to the nearest relative, because they have no money, and they want our adresses, and bank account numbers. They come from the UK too, rarely, but it seems that I can't buy anything without all of these new security precausions, because people from Nigeria keep Scamming them. I keep finding these scams for saxes that people want you to send the check to Nigeria, or when I was looking for a jeep to restore, you had to fill out tons of paperwork because they kept getting scammed by Nigeria. I have nothing against their people (except for the con artists), whereas I have met great people from Nigeria in the past, but why is every person there (exaggerating), trying to scam us in the U.K. and the U.S.? I don't mean this as political either, or a rant against people there. I occasionally get emails from the U.K. but rarely. Is their country trying to do anything about this? Do these people (con artists), have souls? This is not just about Nigeria either. I hate when people do this! People from the U.S. are guilty of this as well. Seriously-probably millions of dollars are lost on ebay and other businesses alike that keep getting scammed, and losing money. What gives someone the friggin nerve to try to hurt an innocent person, who has furthermore, done no wrong at all to them, and then steal their money, that they worked their a** off for (usually)? I am not writing this as a political article either. This is why in England they would put you in the stocks, and throw cabbage and tomatoes at you, and maybe kick you around a bit. ;) :D :twisted: I can;t find anything anymore without being worried if it is a scam or not anymore. Do you people have a heart? I say that we all spend ten minutes a day looking for saxophone scams on ebay, and inform them about it, whereas, they-ebay, do not always listen. Power to the People YO!8-) :D ;)

I like to respond back to those with an enthusiastic message saying I'm interested in what they are offering and ask them to contact me immediately by phone at my work number and give a phony name at the Interpol or FBI Fraud Dept HQ along with the appropriate phone number. Curiously, they remove me from their mailing lists.

I love when that happens. One time they told me the usual email, inheritance, etc., and then they said that if I could not meet them with my atorney in Nigeria, that I could fill out a form to get the money. They said not to contact the high courts to get this approved, and to first contact them, whereas the highcourts will think it is fraud, because they have not been notified of this large transaction yet. :rolleyes:
