[OT] Fun With the 419 Nigerian Scammers

Pretty funny. Another thing they do is mail you a check for the millions or
billions in order to take advantage of a loophole in the US banking system.
Many US banks will credit your account the day after you deposit a check. If
the check later bounces (which may take a couple of weeks for a foreign
check) then your account will be debited. If you have already withdrawn
money, then you will be in trouble. So they will send you a check and ask
that once the check clears, you send them $7,000. The next day, the money is
in your account, so you will think the check has cleared and you send them
the $7,000. Two weeks later you find out that you have lost $7,000.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Another thing: Cody may be having fun with the scammers, but he is also
playing a dangerous game. Never give these people any personal info like
your phone number or anything else that they could use to trace you. These
people play dirty. If they become angry at you, they will not hesitate to
give you any kind of trouble, even to the point of killing you or one of
your loved ones. No joke.

The only thing they will get out of me is a Hotmail account email address.

You mentioned in one text that someone was waiting for you in Madrid, and
when he called your home, you said you were your father. So he had your
phone number.

You're confusing me with someone else. I have yet to bait a single 419
scammer. I plan to, though, and they will get nothing out of me other than
a hotmail email address. The texts at
http://www.nigerian419fraud.freeserve.co.uk/ are someone else's experiences.
