One of the funniest on the site i mentioned is where the Nigerian bloke is called Dr Patrick Obi, so he sets up this windup saying that he is Lady Juanita Kanobe-Vader, wife of Lord Vader, who own a courgette stud farm in Australia....

keep getting them little buggers, been really careful with that e-mail account too so **** knows how they got me, I seem to get at least two a week.

Dr Nick

Some of those stories on that first website are amazing.

I haven't had time to read them all, but was wondering if it would be possible to do a wind up pretending to be someone doing a stretch - of course this would not come out straight away!

Cheers!

Hobo_Jojo

ive not had any of these scam mails yet i want a go at winding them up!

Mice_Elf

I'm amazed that people still fall for them!

Dr Nick

Hobo_JoJo
