Some of my friends would ask...

Which one is the scammer?

One of my more unusual hobbies is collecting Nigerian Scam Emails (so if you have any please forward them my way!)...you know, the ones where some Nigerian first-born prince wants to send you 10 million bucks or so if you'll just transfer him $60,000 for lord knows what. Hundreds of people in the US were scammed (and a few are still being scammed) out of huge dollars before they become well-known, and now are almost passe, and somewhat a joke. Thus, I nearly fell out of my chair when I stumbled across this (here):


TO: Bush, George W.
FR: Hassan_JIM
RE: An EXCITING Opporotunity I Give You
My friend Bush, George W. FIRST, I MUST SOLICIT YOUR STRICTEST CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION. I have small time to receive answer from you to my urgent desire. I am Hassan of United Arab Emirates. My great grand father has just gone to his fate by POLITICAL ASSASSINN'S KILL and in order for the collection of my inheritance I must have from valid AMERICAN bank account routing number and chance to control ports. However the government here is rigid and to would take this inheritance from my righteous family. My great grand father was wealthy financeir with many fortunes from his young biz ness, DUBAI PORTS WORLD! I need urgent help. I ask YOU personally for hands in this matter. I wanted to contact you on the telephone but it is tapped. I must E-MAIL. Provide me AMERICAN banking account numbers for transfer and contract of port control. This transaction is quiet and very safe from the eyes of lookers. In exchange for your saving, I desire to you send $40 million in your dollars. This is urgent request. Please give me reply quickly, for the time is low. If you will only provide American bank account and give east coast ports to DUBAI PORTS WORLD bliss will be upon our families.
