So I had a friend send $2,700 to Nigeria....
 

She swears the guy is going to send her $10,000 back.:disgust I tried to tell her it was a scam but she rushed right up too Western Union with the cash after receiving an email. I don't get people, if it sounds to good to be true then is probably isn't.


:Oh crap

I had said women are so dumb.. but I am now too sad about this to leave it up. I feel sad for your friend. :(

ouch....

Tell her I will make her a better deal. If she sends me $2700 I will send her $20000 back.

I didn't think people fell for that kind of shit anymore but she did, hook, line and sinker.


:Oh crap

Wow, after all the 20/20, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Nightline reports. The warnings from email hosts, and ISP's. I can't believe people still do that!

P.T. Barnum said it best:
"There is a sucker born every minute."

My sympathies for her loss.

What is her email address?









just kidding :winkwink:

I heard those scam artists are hitting the ebay circuit.

and you still call her your friend??
send a stronger message :2 cents:

whats her email?

Beat me to it ;-)

yea i'd never ever do that lol

Pathetic.

lol, you're friend is too dumb

and craigslist. looking for motorcycles ive seen a lot, they advertise it local then say "im in the military right now and will be shipping it from germany" or whatever.

surfers arent smart for the most part, its sad but very true

you're = your

Wtf is wrong with you? If my friend was trying to do that, I would have tackled him, tied him to a chair and made him watch a show explaining it's a scam of off youtube...

hahaha, what an idiot

If people weren't dumb enough to fall for it, they wouldn't keep sending the emails out...out of curiosity, how old was your friend?

Hahah....those nigerians just "chopped her dolla"....

Wow, recently their was something in the local papers here about something like that.

She's like 50 something, I did try to tell her it was a scam and we had a huge fight about it so I haven't heard from her in a week.


:Oh crap

Wow, I wouldn't be associated with anyone who is stupid enough to go for that. I'd end up killing him/her.

Hi, What is the correct URL? This is taking me to a parking service page. I'd love to see this. :)

On behalf of my Nigerian friends, we would like to thank your friend for helping us make sure our late King's money will be safe!

:1orglaugh

You have sympathies for an idiot????


PLEASE!

If she is dumb enough to send that money out like that then she deserves to lose it.

That makes sense...usually older people are the ones who these people prey upon to fall for these types of scams...I feel sorry for her because they are going to be laughing all the way to the bank.

I agree, too many people are falling for it, as soon as people stop falling for it then scammers will just close shop.

I was selling a laptop on ebay and would get lots of the "I am in the military on tour, I'll pay with a check, but I have to get this soon as I may not be at this location long, I'll send a courior pick up so that it doesnt cost you anything to ship"
Or something similar to that. So I said ok to one, and had the courier he sent pick up a 5' peice of rail track, weighed like 100 lbs.
2 weeks later he sent an email saying I was scamming him, lol. He send a check, looked like it was made with a typewriter and on plain white paper, lol.
The tracking showed it went to somewhere in nigeria, must have cost him a pretty penny to have the rail shipped to him too, lol.
