Silly Nigerians? They got nearly 4 million dollars from my step daughter's father-in-law. His son had him declared incompetent to handle the money for his business so he wouldn't keep sending them the company's money. It has gone bankrupt and he is trying to make it viable again. His dad just couldn't accept the fact that he was scamed and still thinks he is going to get millions back.Sad story, I won't go into any more details. Ken P.
Ken, this is terrible. According to what I've read, scamming is the 4th largest industry in Nigeria. Since I've become involved in scam baiting, I've come to realize that the people I'm dealing with are hardened criminals who would not hesitate to sell their own grandmother for a new Rolex watch.
The purpose of scam baiting, aside from the fact that it is intensely fun, is to occupy the scammer's time thinking they are going to be receiving nonexistent money, thus saving an innocent victim from losing their hard-earned money to a scammer. The more of these scammers we can bait, the more disgruntled they will become, and hopefully will eventually realize that their "industry" is not as lucrative as it once was.
I currently have about 16 scam baits running. Some of the stuff I have the scammers believing is absolutely outrageous. In fact, there is a possibility that I may have gotten one scam operation "stung". The fool was stupid enough to give me his actual bank account number so I could wire transfer $20,000.00 to him. I expect justice to be meted out when he comes marching into the bank looking for that nonexistent wire transfer.
By the way, I currently have 22 unanswered scam letters, in case anyone wants to try one (or more) out.
