I was just wondering if they will be less active over Easter. I can imagine not as many internet cafes being open, having to go spend time with extended families -

What do you guys think?

depends on the major religion/s where they live, i suppose?

Why don't you ask your lad? Laughing

I've got 2 lads travelling to Ghana to meet me, one from Nigeria and another in Cote D'Ivorie - so I'm hoping they'll be active Very Happy

Good Friday was a very busy day for me. I got inundated with emails.
I usually find weekends to be a bit quieter - today I've only received a few scams and most of those from lottery lads.

The Bank of Africa Burkina Faso branch is open NOW!!!
They just sent me my approval to be next of kin to a dead guys estate.
Also, my attorney in Lagos appears hard at work too.

No rest for the Numpty's this weekend.

I'm sorry i did not send you any money, for i spent the $10,000 i was meant to send to you on mini chocolate easter eggs, as it is easter this weekend.

also - i cannot find the forms you wanted me to fill out, as they are in my living room which is filled with easter eggs, melted chocolate and foil wrappers. I cannot find a thing in here.

I only just found my cat, poor thing.

Could you resend allthe forms you need me to fill out please?

-ahem-

Lads generally take Sundays off anyway.

Well I think at least some of them will take a break, to eat roasted goat and coloured ostrich eggs. Wink

My mugu is working today Laughing

Sunday is very quiet, so I take time off too.

The Crown Royal Courts Of Justice, The Strand, London is open. They've just sent me a Letter Of Administration Approval Notice.

But otherwise it's been a fairly quiet day today.

Yes, the lads are always much less active on Christian holidays. I think the vast majority of our lads are from the Christian areas of Nigeria and the other West African countries rather than the Muslim North - as much as it pains me as a Christian to say that. Plus, they really do generally profess some Christian belief. How they square that with the scamming is beyond me.

^^^^ spot on!

oh, and I'll tell you if lads were less busy next week - I'm patient. Wink

I did get some mails from muslim-posing lads, but are just several out of thousands.
I think they are posing as christians to attract the attention of the predominantly christian caucasians.
I, being caucasian but from Eastern Europe, and an agnostic, don't really care about religion (but I am a ethic person).
Skin colour does not matter. Religion does not matter.
Being a scammer does.
And they don't care much about religion either.
They care about $$$.

I got emails from 8 lottery lads on Friday and so far today I have had 4 lads reply.

I am of course not going to reply to anyone until Tuesday Twisted Evil

I think it is the other way around. Most of the main scam areas are in south Nigeria which is predominantly Christian. Most are pretending to be muslim. I'm sure that the muslims make up a few but not the majority.

I had one complaining at me to get stuff done before the holidays, and most of my baits seem to be slow responding, if at all.

Not entirely sure if I've driven them off, or if they're just resting. With any luck, they're just busy filling out my forms! Razz

Both my main pets have emailed me overnight.. and I received a few in my catcher accounts too.

Actually, I usually dont hear from these lads over the weekends - maybee they are having a sale in the internet cafe over the long weekend.

One of my lads wanted to wait until after Easter before processing the transaction.

I've got two others though that are exepcting their WU payments today.

Lads are weird creatures, the one weekend they dare to complain if I don't reply them within an hour, the other weekend they're totally IDLE.

In my opinion lads don't care too much about religion, they might celebrate holidays with their families, but if they would care even just a tiny bit, they wouldn't be scammers... Laughing

If they worship the goddess Ostara, Germanic goddess of springtime and the real reason why we have Easter, they might be gone for a while to collect the eggs of her rabbit familiar.

On the other hand, if they worship one of those hokey gods... you never know. Those guys like to steal older religions' holidays.
