the secretary of the nigerian president telecommutes from hong kong.

but other than that amusing tidbit, is this your first experience with the internets?

11/1/2009 1:07:54 PM

first time i'd gotten this particular spam.

11/1/2009 1:11:33 PM

this ones been around for a couple years. and theres an infinite variation on the 419 scams in general.

probably doesnt help me that i did a 2-month contract gig at Microsoft developing anti-malware software for their Exchange Hosted Services group. it was too depressing to work there for long. the ignorance of the spammers was one thing, but knowing the stupidity required that people would fall for it was even worse.

11/1/2009 2:45:28 PM

I've never gotten any email remotely close to these

I am curious as to what kind of porn sites you frequent

11/1/2009 2:50:21 PM

because ... email spam is somehow related to porn surfing?

11/2/2009 3:43:00 PM

^Definitely related, just not exclusive.

o rly?

please to tell me how porn surfing is related to 419 email spam

and i want you to think about it.

11/2/2009 3:49:08 PM

related? really? so, being on a computer that has never been to such a site and having an email address that has never been used on any such site = related?

11/2/2009 3:52:14 PM

wdprice, Im said not exclusive, therefore your spam probably comes from NCSU selling your email addy.

joe, I never said that it was. Please tell me where I did, and I want you to re-read what has been said.

yeah, im still waiting for you to tell me how email spam is "definitely related" to porn surfing.

the problem here is that ignorant statements like yours is what causes many people to think spam email from Viagra resellers and generic porn hubs are somehow related to their spouse/significant other's misuse of a family computer.

if you don't understand how the internet works, that's fine, but pls to keep your mouth shut on "technical" issues.

Don't reply to these! I got one about a nigerian princess who wanted to marry me and give me $80M to escape execution by the evil Bungla Mugumbo. I got the money, but the tax on it took more than half, and the princess is really not that good looking, shes like 7 feet tall, 90 lbs, and she's got a plate in her lip so she can't give blowjobs.and I can't just divorce her cause she would get the rest of the money.

Put a laptop for sale online and received a scam response.

He just wants my bank account details so he can send me the money.

Quote :

"Also i will like you to get back to me with your bank details and your mobile number so that i can send you the money as soon as possible"

Question: How is he going to scam me out of money? Impersonate me and withdraw money from my account? He is not even in the same country to begin with.

I want to play with him a bit, but I don't know how to. Instead of asking me to send money to him like a typical scam, he wants to send me money, but just wants bank account info.

this guy?

5/9/2014 3:46:00 AM

^^ if he has your full checking account # he can do an electronic withdrawal maybe?

5/9/2014 7:39:59 AM

I've heard that's all that's technically needed, but then why doesn't this happen all the time? Any time you write someone a check they'd be able to withdraw funds from your account. It also seems like it would be easy to trace and remedy, though.

Because we've transferred money from our joint checking account at USAA into my personal account at SECU, my SECU now shows up as a source to pay bills from in USAA. I did it last week and the money did go through, which is a little concerning because I never did anything from my SECU account to authorize withdrawals to USAA. The accounts aren't even under the same last name. But it's my money so that's as far as my care went. How do I banking.

5/9/2014 8:53:01 AM

Don't have a checking account, and hardly any people in this part of the world do. I would think a scamster would know that. (actually, I have never even heard of banks having checking accounts here)
