How Dumb Do They Think People Are??

I got a bunch of these too. I called the F.B. I. to report them and surprisingly they said they didn't handle them, that the Secret Service did. They were real friendly though, and knew exactly what I was talking about.
So I called the Secret Service. The guy answered, "Secret Service."
"Hi," I answered. "I need some secret servicing done."
There was a burst of laughter and he asked, "What can I do for you?"
I told him and he knew all about it too. He was real friendly and asked me to forward these things to them. The trouble is I forget now what that address is.
For what it's worth ..............

I use to get a bunch of those, I got that spam control on now and everytime I got one I marked it as spam, They eventually stopped. I might get one a month now.

I heard that you are to forward this to the RCMP, it is a big scam, I always reply with a letter asking then to drop the emoney off at a Tim Hortons beside the garbage can! You can think of some really good stuff, but after I reply I don`t get anymore letters.

Kenneson,
Wish their was a way to stop receiving this stuff!
Have you tried a filter looking for "Nigeria" or other keywords in the body of incoming e-mails?
If you have but it does not work, you might try some of the sarcastic responses others have suggested. Of course then they know it's an active e-mail account and who knows who all will know that in time?
Plum--nice outfit! Maybe someone could start a "warrior ladies" picture thread!
