About two weeks ago I got the millionth peace of "someone died in Nigeria and we can make you rich" SPAM. Now I normally delete these things with glee, but just recently I had been reading on the 'net about an individual who decided to waste the scammers time. Thinking that this was a good idea I decided to do likewise, so I sent them an email in reply. In the reply I fed them all kinds of things that they wanted to hear (except account info, of course). I alluded to the fact that I knew the nephew of the "deceased" and generally played along with their game. Until Wednesday when I finally got the email that outlined how I was supposed to get my "inheritance".
I had two options 1. To fly to Nigeria and claim it or 2. Send them $4500 (& my bank info). So for the last three days we have been arguing because I told them I was coming to Nigeria. I even looked up Delta's flight info and made up a phony itinerary. I will be catching a flight out of Atlanta Monday night and arriving in Lagos, Nigeria on Tuesday morning(NOT). You should have seen them whining trying to convince me not to come.
Needless to say I will continue to feed them bogus information and generally waste their time. For now I am messing with the scammers.....
