Hello.

My name is Prince Albert from Nigeria, future to be king and i am very rich, altough they are trying to steal my money so i need your help, i am relative to one of your family and they told you me you can help...
Now i'm sick of hearding this! That's why i am here:

I was browsing on youtube the other day for Dateline how to catch a predator, and then i saw something from Dateline how to catch a con artist. I always heard and actually talked to a scammer who wanted to buy a house in Portugal (where i live) i actually helped him searching for a house, since he was far (nigeria duh) he then wanted to transfer me money so i can buy his house but a problem "duh" happened, he told me that i had to send him money for exchange rates and that in return i can keep a % , of course that it was since then that i noticed that this kind of frauds were more comum than i tough, and what's worse, i took it so seriously at the first time (not that i was going to give him money) i actually helped the guy knowing about houses in portugal and all, i never knew that people were dumb to fall one of those scams where you actually PUT money on the line.

After watching dateline how to catch a con i saw an hilarious video, something that made me think exacly what i tought about the guys who were scammed. the scammer were scammed into making the dead parrot sketch, that's how i found this webiste!

I'm "disguised" with another nickname as i want to waste some of the time of these scammers and if they searched for my real nickname on google, vital personal information would be instantly revealed.
Not that i dont have anything else to do but more as thinking i'm making a service to this comunity and i'll try to aim for high stuff like getting a wooden sculpture or maybe another video from a monty pythons scene!!!

Anyway i hope to learn a few tricks and i'll keep posting!
Cheers
DS

p.s do not revel my IP or this email address to anyone as scammers are very dagerous.

CNN aired a special over the weekend titled "How to Rob a Bank". It chronicled an inside job on the former Bank One including 419 style transfers of funds to (among others) Nigeria. Two former Indiana Colt players were convicted of funneling / laundering the funds.
