For those who set up "meetings" with these people, can't you notify the police and get at least one person/group stopped? I'm probably talking shit I know nothing about, but just wondering if there's really anything to be done besides just clicking delete.
Re: Payment Notification: We are writhing to know if it's true that you are DEAD? Because we received a notification from one MR. GERSHON SHAPIRO of USA stating that you are DEAD and that you have giving him the right to claim your funds. He stated you died on a CAR accident. He has been calling us regarding this issue, but we cannot proceed with him until we confirm this by not hearing from you after 7days. Be advised that we have made all arrangements for you to receive and confirm your funds without anymore stress, and without any further delays. All we need to confirm now is your been DEAD Or still Alive. Because this MAN'S message brought shock to our minds. And we just can't proceed with him until we confirm if this is a reality OR not But if it happened we did not hear from you after 7days, then we say: MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE" YOUR JOY AND SUCCESS REMAINS OUR GOAL. May the peace of the Lord be with you wherever you may be now. Your Faithfully,Mr. Ibrahim LamordeActing Chairman/Chief Executive of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?
That's right, dude, YOU DIED ON A CAR ACCIDENT.
I love getting scams and phishing emails just to see how stupid they are.

I like how it implies that you can be assumed dead if you don't reply to an email for 7 days.
