She said "Oh My God Hun, This is Awesome! Some guy said I am going to get millions of dollars for helping him out!"

I chuckled.. she was literally all excited and shit... I had a feeling I knew what it was, she is begging me to come to her computer and check it out.. Sure enough,

"Dear Melissa Brewer,

This mail is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form to you but I must solicit your confidentiality, I know a proposal of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that it is sent in good faith and will be of mutual benefit to both parties.

I am Barrister Samuel Coker, the Personal Attorney to Late Mr. ALAN BREWER an American Citizen, who worked with African Petroleum Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2002,Mr.Alan, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Lagos-Ibadan express road, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquires to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has prove unsuccessful and these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

I am contacting you to assist me to repatriate the money and property left behind by Mr.Alan before they get confiscated in the bank treasury or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $US15.3 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.

5 years on the net and this is the first one she has got, too funny...

you shouldn't have posted this here, now at least 7 GFYers will fall for that scam, you don't want that on your conscious, do you ;)

This shit comes to my e-mail severat times a month. :disgust

One guy from our country fell for this and lost all his fortune - so he visited a Nigerian consul and shot him to death.

um..I want to be nice but yes that is rather special

I remember reading about that.

I remember getting letters like that before they even invented this interweb thingy.

What you mean that I am not going to be rich? :winkwink:

Yeah i go to the Nigerian Email Conference each year and learn the tricks of the trade.

the bad guys would not send this stuff out if it were not profitable.
someone always believes it.

so you want to buy a case of dehydrated water?
its on special, this week only.
you never know when you might need some good clean drinking water in an emergency.

Apparently she's pretty naive dating you as well ;)

Theres some pretty advanced scammers out there. I know a guy from a software company that posted on investment boards looking for investors for something. They got an offer for 1 mill USD from some company in the UK. The scammers use UK numbers to make it all look legit.

The scammers even sent a legal contract over that looked like it was made by an attorney. Than they wanted a $25,000 up front fee for turning the 1 mill in bonded stocks into cash. Thats when they found out it was all a scam. They had to pay a $1,000 lawyer fee too..
Thats the cost of doing business.

You're one of the lucky ones. :2 cents:

DO NOT marry this woman. Sorry to tell you this but if she believes this then she'll believe her girl friends, lawyer bill boards and TV evangelists. It?s only a matter of time before your life gets fucked up in the way that only a bad marriage can do.

:thumbsup The shit I have put her though - I AGREE :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sarah, come on now after all this time.... No need to be nice to me :pimp

Moby, be a tad more original - I've hear a million "She'll do this and that and this and that when you're married". We've lived together for what 4 years now, have a GORGEOUS two year old daughter, and we are now finally getting to the point where we just laugh at eachother ten minutes after we get into serious arguments... This girl has been there with me through the highs when I had a 5,000 square foot house on the lake to living with me now struggling to pay my $1,00 a month mortgage.. She's a rock !! Hell, I might not be here if it wasn't for that girl, she's still a Major .... MAJOR ... MAAAAJJJOR Pain in the Ass though :pimp

Always look for new markets :)
