Letters with I seek your help in transfering 1.7 million dollars, or ?? number of million dollars for which you will be reimbursed ....

Neat scam, eh?

Well, type in "Babayoko " for your search engine and see how this scam works.

Nigeria seems to have entered the computer age, and its criminal element is beginning to flex its muscles.

I get at least two of those e mails a month! I just delete them.

This site (http://www.geocities.com/scamjokepage/index.html) is absolutely hilarious. I've got to do this sometime.

Everything after the first page is still there.

The way that I have E-Budo set up the whole thread is on one page so every post looks to be missing.

Hope E-Budo is not going to lose more posts - ones that *matter*.

Over the last year I have had two or three different versions of this E-mail scam. It almost seems too good to let go by.

Someone will send you millions of dollars and you can keep 15%-20%? Sounds like Wall Street to me.

Oh Well.
