  Nigerian SpamI got my first legit Nigerian 401 scam email! I'm so excited. Here's how it begins, though it continues on and on and on for awhile.

I've had a fair few of 'em! I also get a lot of phishing emails from varying "banks"

Congrats! I expect to be flying to Texas in business some time soon?
 What with your newfound fortune and all.
Never had any Nigerian scam e-mails. I feel lonely. 
I think you should make a spam email account and reply to them from that account. See how far you can take things. _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place? I'm-a be a one-man cheeseburger apocalypse." - Coach |

hehe... they wanted $150 to unlock the funds or something. :p You know how it starts. They even made some caveats about if I wait too long the amount could go up. Totally opening up the door to try to milk me dry.

Hehehe...come on man, 150 bucks? That's a small price for such a potential fortune! What if it's the real deal?!!
Anyway, found answer to my own question http://www.silicon.com/research/special ... 8-1,00.htm Quite funny really. The guy's emails are inbold, the scammer's emails are in italics, if you don't want to plough through the whole article itself.  _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place?
