Hi You.
Here is an example how they come close to you and try to do those money scams.
I sended to this scammer a bite,which he took like you see.
These people are offering to you that kind of sum of money,that it´s not even
possible.Allways a scam.
If nothing else is not telling to you what is going on,you can see it from that email
those persons send to you.
Like this scammer,after one email he´s your best friend and offring to you a "zillion dollars".

These people do anything to get money,anything.
They try to push you to go in their country by different kind of reasons.
If you do that mistake,you´re a dead person for shore. :yikes: :evil:
I´m going to send some more information as soon as I get email from this prick
to these sides.

Hi Donald Duck. :D

I have removed your information from your post to protect your identity. I am glad you recognize these scams. What you are doing, responding to the scammer, knowing that he is a scammer, in order to waste his time/mess with him is called Scambaiting. Our sister site, www.419Eater.com is a scambaiting site. Please do visit there if you would like to learn how to bait safely (don't use any of your real information). We do not encourage victims here to bait their scammers and we prefer that baits be posted at 419Eater.

Please DO post scammer's intro emails and information here as it helps them show up in internet searches and can save people from being saved.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Donald

glad to see you are wasting the time and resources of scammers.

Posting their details does make a big difference allowing potential victims to find your post, hopefully before losing any money.

As Jillian said, do keep your own details private, our members do receive death threats every so often, we like them because we know thay they wouldn't have a clue as to who we actually or where we are and it shows we are having an effect.

We certainly wouldn't enjoy it so much when they tell us what they are going to do to our families thinking that the scammer perhaps does know where we live.
