Ahhh! I am DEAD?
What kind of idiot scammers from Nigeria send an email to a dead person? This arrived in my inbox today. I traced the email and it lead me back to the lovely country of Nigeria. Apparently the educational resources have not been obtained or the idiots would know how to spell. I will give you a clue as to the ignorance that subsides in this country. Not to mention if I'm DEAD how the hell can I be reading emails?
Scammers like this have become quite frequent in the past few years. And thankfully I'm smart enough to know a scam having learned first hand from a dating site called Datanta.com... You can find some real gems there, and yes they are smarter than this guy. They like the Money Gram scam and if they can't get the Money Gram they try for Western Union and then "can u open a bank account and I can transfer funds for you and then you can send me a portion via MONEYGRAM and keep the rest for your troubles." lmoa! Now really how stupid do they think ppl are?

Here we go with the email:

Welcome to Eater!I'm sure a lot of us fired off a quick insult to the lads at first,but it really does nothing.They are fully aware that LE will do nothing,and just deleted your mail right away.Think how much better it would have been to waste a huge amount of his time.String him along,make him answer questions,fill out forms.Send him chasing after non-existant money.Make him keep thinking payday is just around the corner.These are a lot more satisfying.

Okies, let's see if they'll write back to dotty old Albert. Spoofing their message, I send this back:

Tell them that yes, you are dead, and bait them as a ghost (with internet access).

But drop them if they have your Real Life Info or accounts that can be tracked back to you.

Welcome.

They are use to getting responses like that. If he read it, I'm sure he deleted it and moved on to other replies.

I know some of their scripts sound silly but you should understand that they do work. The silliness or outright stupidity speaks more about what type of victim the lad is hoping to prey on and not the lad himself.
