I actually do know someone that sent money to a Nigerian Prince!

And I do not have the $65,285,714.29 he wants me to send either. Don't think the CU will front it to me.

1. you know Tracey Jordan?

[Mnemosyne]

3. Nope, no clue. The person I know that did it was convinced that God had sent him a miracle.

I think he said he sent around $10,000.

7. "30 Rock" character, played by Tracey Morgan playing himself, basically

11. Thanks, no tv. n/t

2. This scheme just doesn't go away

It's been around for decades in one form or another. I can't believe people still fall for it.

5. I 'won' trip to Mexico at age 12, around 1970, from a 'contest' I entered from TV Guide.

All I had to do was send them a $25 deposit and would get it back at the airport. I was furious when my mom wouldn't let me take my Nana on such a cool vacation.

10. I won a trip for two, all-inclusive Cancun rest in Mexico this year, and paid $600+, but got no trip

Gotta love credit cards, they gave me the money back!

12. My daughter 'won' a free cruise a few years back; it only cost her close to $3000... n/t

[Mnemosyne]

17. I am so glad to hear your card backed you. The person I know that sent money

to Africa sent his savings and is still convinced it will "work out". Actually it did work out for him, he ripped me off to the tune of close to ten thousand in items taken and destroyed.

I win things at drawings from fairs! One year won three of four drawings I entered, meat from a butcher, a cookbook and a free dinner at a local diner. Luckily all has been legit, so far.

4. Oh yes! This is how I got rich!

I come for to tell you today that this occurred to me and now am many millionaires. If you want rich, call lawyer and send monies. No scam! Real Deal! Transaction fully backed by Libyan government. Praise Allah!

[Mnemosyne]

6. So ya' think I should help this poor soul? I be rich too, big money?

[Uben]

9. Yes, hurry! Chop chop!

Ha! It's not like you can't tell just by their wording that it's a scam. MY wife's step son wanted to respond to an ad on Craigslist where they were willing to give away a 1987 SilverWing Honda motorcycle if you would just forward them the money to ship it to you. I told him to use his whole brain!

[Mnemosyne]

14. Scammers, third oldest profession. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Send email to HIM, then a woman's name ????

I am waiting for someone to email me about finding the 6 billion floating around in Iraq.

13. Someone tried a scam on me a few months ago while trying to sell my baby grand.

"I send check, you send movers money and you keep extra for trouble! I replied with the FBI fraud website.

If it sounds too good to be true...

[chrisa]

15. Did you smack them?

Or did Prince Nestafani actually show up in his limousine escort with $50 million dollars as promised?

[Mnemosyne]

18. I just laughed and deleted. Used to send scammers the FBI fraud website link.

Damn credit union, keeping me from great wealth!

on edit:

Oh, did I smack that person that sent money to Africa? No, but told him my two year old grandson is smarter than him, so are my cats.
