This was a new one for me. Instead of pretending to be a friend in desperate need in a foreign land, the land just made somebody up to beg for bucks. Might lazy.

Hello,

I’m with family on vacation in Philippines and a lot of things has been spewing. We got mugged last night in an alley by a gang of thugs on our way back from shopping, one of them had a knife poking my neck for almost two minutes and everything we had on us including my cell phone, credit cards were all stolen,quite honestly it was beyond a dreadful experience for us but looking on the bright side we weren't seriously hurt or injured and we are still alive so that is whats important,we need a quick loan of $1,920 let me know if you can help us with the money then i will let you know how to get it to me.

Of course, the email is not from the Phillipines OR Pakistan.

You guessed it...Lagos, Nigeria. This one's going to be fun.

Sorry for sending you an email instead of the scammer. I should have paid more attention to the email header. Anyways I personally remove my email even if it is just a catcher account. This is because a lad may google your email address and see that you are a scambaiter thus ruining the bait or I guess that it could also be a good thing if you want to pretend to be a guymen they may see your email without checking to see if you were the sender or receiver. I don't know how many lads google email addresses.
