 Nigerian Spam
I 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.

Me too. Better not toy with them, just cherish the memory.

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.  Anyone that falls for that shit damn near deserves it, in my opinion. A fool and his money are soon parted.

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

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.
