Very nice indeed

and hey, Western Union, crooks never use that...

See Jules... no reason to complain about lack of work... when you're good, it just comes from all over the world...

heh

Jules, you should send him a totally confusing response to equal or best his totally fuk'd up use of words. Tell him you only have northern union where you are and they require photos of your children and thier passports before any monies can be sent. And then the monies must travel by boat to several ports and checked by the mothers of the the childrens passports.........I did something like this once and never received a response back.

Just delete that stuff, it's typically a bulk email anyhow.

Funny though, they're now trying the scam on the service industry!

IF the musicians are in Morroco, tell them to get a plane ticket from Spain - it's a short swim.....

That's funny...my day job is as a photographer, and I get them tailored to my industry.

There´s been a long report in Der Spiegel about the Nigerian scammer industry sometime last year. You wouldn´t believe it, nor the numbers.
It´s an industry with think tanks, freelancers, thousands of employees et al ...

They are still making a couple hundred millions with it.

It only proves that a part of the industrial nations never informs themselves. Who would have thought that.

I think it´s about time for some international measure on Chinese spam and Nigerian scam that keeps the whole internet world at messing around with email filters and manual deleting procedures nonetheless etc.

Go to the Brad Christensen exhibit at Qualoos.com for the diary of a guy who had the time and sense of humour to 'give it back' to these scam idiots!

Thats a fun read James!

These people need to be in prison. They'll have a lot of deposits made there.

I almost feel sorry for Mr. Christensen's victims.

I enjoyed this!!! Brad Christensen rock!
