Annie_smith@yahoo.com ripoff nigerian 419 scam Logos Nigeria

If you report their email and it gets shut down, they just set up another one. What's more fun to do is "scam baiting." You scam the scammer. I get about 20 of these a day on email account I set up. They are always saying how either their rich father was murdered or their mother is very sick and needs medicine. There are websites devoted to scam baiting, it's become a hobby for some people. Teach them a lesson...SCAM THE SCAMMER.

These scams have been around for at least 10 years that I know of. At that time people would get letters about 'millions' just waiting to be claimed. Now it is on the internet so people believe it. I get one or two emails per DAy from someone in Nigeria, Ivory Coast, etc saying I can get millions of dollars by just sending them a few hundred dollars and my bank account number. Now figure, if this person sends out 100,000 emails and only 1 person responds, they have made hundreds of dollars. Not bad for sending an eamil.

There isn't alot that your can do about Nigerian Bank scam. The FBI and Secret Service get so many of these complaints, but there isn't much they can do.

I must get 10 of these things a week. I usually end up forwarding them to the abuse department of the ISP for the user. The need the full headers in order take action, but I have gotten literally dozens of these accounts shut down.

Did you two just fall off the turnip truck? This has been one of the oldest scams around for the last 2 years or so.

You need to start watching the evening news. CBS news did a story very very similar several months ago with a Nigerian link. Our local stations around here in Northern Georgia seem to do a story on it about every 6 months.

Money to buy an elephant hide? How ridiculous. She'd get jailed on that alone!

I suggest you purchase good spam protection software.

I also had a run-in with this person. For me though she used the name ANNIEMATTHEWS@YAHOO.COM. I looked up the profile for her that you have for her for flirtbox.com and its the same woman. She sent me many pictures of herself, or suppose to be her, and she claimed that she was looking for a serious relationship. The third day I talked to her on yahoo IM she's telling me that she loves me and all so I went along with it.

The next day she asks me do I trust her and I said yeah. Then she tells me that she is a designer and she needs $1500.00 to purchase this elephant skin to make clothes. She says she could get $3000.00 for it when she comes back home to Georgia. She was suppose to be in Lagos, Nigeria at the time on a business trip. She says she had $1000.00 but still needs $500. To make a long story short I asked 1001 questions and she tried to negotiate with me until she reached $100 through Western Union.

After that I asked for her phone number so that I could call her but her hotel room doesn't have a phone, LOL. Then I give here a phone card in which I used up all the time on it but just wanted to have fun. She then tells me about an hour later she couldn't find a pay phone. So I said ok I'll send it, even though I really wasn't, and when I told her I'll send it she gives me some other name to send it in (Kehinde Ojo and the address is 13B Ikoyi Avenue - Lagos Nigeria.

Then I asked why can't I send it in your name and she tells me that she don't trust the people there so she's getting a mistress to do it. I said ok and said bye. I don't know if she's still waiting or not but I wasn't falling for it. The name she gave me for herself was Annie Matthews so this person male or female is using many names and I'm not sure either if the pictures she sent are hers. I met her on the website Hfriends.com which is a disability chat room and penpal sight.
