Hi everyone,

So I got an "all in one" scam email (they ask for the WU payment right in the first email, hoping mass-sending their script out will get them loads of cash without any more work).
The twist is they also sent a badly photoshopped (mspainted) newspaper article titled "FGN to release foreign payments through Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, Nigeria". At the bottom of the article, a list of all the selected "beneficiary" email addresses, including my baiting account. I am therefore fully convinced this is legit.

My email doesn't stand out in any way in their list (would have been another sign of their mad mspaint skillz) so I was thinking, do they bother editing a single article for every potential victim in which case the other addresses can be disregarded, or is my email address surrounded by actual RL potential victims? Maybe then a mod or admin could send out warning emails to those people?.. Should I publish those addresses here?

Thanks for your feedback, have a good day!

PM a mod, any mod, with the list rather than posting the addresses on the forum. They will take appropriate action.

Anytime a lad sends you contact info of a possible victim, send it to a mod.
If the mod doesn't read your message in a couple of days, send it to another mod. Same with mules.
