About
The basic idea here is that if the idiotic Nigerian 419 scammers could actually see their direct competition, they would realize that this pond is overfished, and find some other way to steal a living that doesn’t waste my time and bandwidth. Of course, if they were that smart, they wouldn’t be doing the 419 scam in the first place.
So this is a salute and a hearty compliments of the season to the thieves who seek further modalities to make a quick buck off hapless western victims. This scam is long past ripe, and is starting to smell the place up. That list you bought with all the e-mail addresses has only been used by about a thousand people ahead of you, and if there any potential victims left, they would be out of money by now. The only one that got scammed is you, because you paid money for that list!
Everyone knows that there’s no money sitting in banks in Nigeria (does Nigeria even have banks?) or Ougoudogou (what kind of a stupid name is that, anyway?). There is no such thing as a Coca Cola or Nokia lottery. You are not dying of cancer, you are not Miriam Abacha, and every plane that ever crashed in Africa was not filled with rich europeans who had no living relatives.
And if you’re going to pretend to be some rich girl in a refugee camp (how do you have internet access?), you better be ready to send me some pictures of your bare titties, or I don’t even want to talk to you.
Caught in the Act 
Funny stuff. I think the nigerian scammers’ role model is chimps at keyboards, and just like those chimps, they know if they hit out enough of these messages, sooner or later they are going to produce an actual ripe victim. Since they have absolutely no aspirations but to scam, all they have is time in a boiler room.
is this tru. they give me the same message telling me that i have won and i went to know wither is tru ot wrong. is that tru?
No, it’s a scam:
I was wondering if you knew the REAL authorities in Nigeria and how to get ahold of them to provide information that might help in capturing some of these pieces of garbage?
Please send me an email.
Thanks.
It doesn’t matter.
mercyfrancis68@gmail.com this person is fake or real..?
Fake
a guy from sudan claims to be on assylum in south africa and seeks to invest in a business here. I told him i can do it so he wants my id copy proof of residence and account nr to make transfer. Is it a scam?
Gee, you think?
A girl by name Lara Abure claims to be an asylum in Dakar, Senegal claiming to have her fathers Dr. Dreamand Abure’s statement of account comprises of $9.7 milliom US Dollars to transfered into my account. Is this true?
This is a common form of this scam: https://419awareness.wordpress.com/category/refugee-orphan-girl-wants-boyfriend/

Is It True ??
If you had bothered to read the above, you wouldn’t have wasted my time and yours asking such a stupid question.
Hi get a message today that hi won 100,000 British Pounds in the ongoing coca-cola/UK promo, E-mail [redacted]@yahoo.com phone and this is my number (08[redacted])pls contact
What part of “scam” don’t you understand?
sir i have receive a mail for coca cola promotion lottery, he is just call me to pay for a custom clearence its true sir
3500+ versions of this scam posted right here on this site, and you fucking have a question as to whether it’s true???!!!
Every day – I count up my new ‘worth’ – often in the tens of millions – laugh hysterically about it with hubby and then trash the lot. Do people really fall for these badly written scams?! It amazes me.
Every day I open my mail to find a dozen new comments from people – mostly from India and Pakistan – who haven’t bothered to read this blog, claiming they won and demanding their money. It’s real eye-opener on why that part of the world is so poor.
To Whom it may concern
I wish to raise my concern as I was not aware of this scam thing.

On her email she said to get this package to me i should USD$330.00 for delivery services,i ask her alot of questions as i couldn’t belived that but she insisted that everything was real and true.She even use Gods Name to make me believed in her

@scruffy scirocco
It amazes me how you persevere with this blog and it horrifies me how many people still think its real! I just received the text, first thing I do is google it. Immediately I knew it was a scam. Come on. Who wins half a million pounds via text from some unknown number and a dodgy looking email address??!! People need to think and use their heads / common sense . I can’t believe how ridiculous some people are and I wanted to congratulate you on your determination and patience. Bravo! Keep it up.
And good grief , some of the BAD spelling and sentence structures on these emails ! Get a grip everyone !That it is all.
Hell, why even warn people that these are scams? I like your personality Scruffy, but from the way I see it the real victim of these scams is you, spending your valuable time trying to warn people not to fall for these scams. You have to have something better to spend your time on, like fucking your girl or counting the threads in your carpet. Please don’t take offense, I believe you are a very intelligent person and someone I would enjoy having a beer with……..
………but REALLY??? If people are that greedy and downright stupid enough to fall for the scam, I say good for the Nigerian goat fucking scammers, there sure isn’t much else in ways of opportunity for them to make a living, and hey at least they are trying to shake a hustle instead of fucking like rabbits and making babies they can’t feed like in the unicef posters one needs only to visit a local elementary school to observe (hell that’s probably a hustle too)
and to the stupid as fuck, greedy ass people who fall for these scams….
Fuck You, your stupid as fuck and deserve to loose whatever you lost x10. On top of you loosing your money you should be fined, most likely you are doing other stupid things that are costing the tax payers money somehow. I find it hard that someone stupid enough to fall for this would have enough money to loose $4500 in the first place, unless maybe they were in a coma long enough for their government assistance checks to accumulate.
I know that sometimes people hit the booze or bong too hard or just have a super weak moment and do something that rates around “epic” on the dumb as fuck scale, hell we’ve all done it, but what separates bad judgement and just being a fuck-tard is what you do next….which I am not going to name names, Tom Ollie, can you see which group your in?
Well said, Harry, but it doesn’t take that much time, and the only ones you hear from here are usually the most idiotic of the morons. I get a thousands or so hits a day, so I know it’s doing some good. The idea is to remove as many potential victims from the pool and make life harder for these fucking scammers. Unfortunately, it seems there’s an infinite supply of morons for them to feed off of.
Soy un supermillonario, hipermillonario, un gigamillonario, recibo decenas de avisos de miribundos/moribundas, gentes exiliadas, contadores de inversores muertos que dejaron millones depositados y YO SOY EL AFORTUNADO A COBRAR DE UN 40 A UN 60 %.
Estoy en este momento gastando a cuenta para ir a cada banco a retirar esos fondos, supongo que el aviòn debe ser bien grande con todas esas entregas millonarias a mi favor.
A TODOS LE DIGO QUE SI y me siento feliz. MI HOROSCOPO ME CONFIRMA QUE SOY UN GRAN AFGORTUNADO Y QUE SEGUIRE RECIBIENDO DE TODAS PARTES DEL MUNDO FORTUNAS.. NO ME ENVIDIEN Y DIGAN QUE SI, ASI ESOS NEGRITOS SIGUEN OCUPÀNDOSE DE LAS FORTUNAS DISPONIBLES PARA NOSOTROS.
Esta me tiene enrredado, gracias a DIOS que no eh dado ningun dato personal.
Hey Even i did received the same email this morning as below. Some one plz stop doing this spamming and this kind of scams. If some times people in need of money and they have got trapped into this kind of scams…

Hi, please could you contact me – I am interested in the scam involving Bader ALSANAFI and would like contact with whoever posted it. I have had some experience myself of this name.
Someone named Kurt Christian, an alleged attorney from London contacted me via email about an inheritance. He did not sound Nigerian on the phone. Maybe they have hired others to perpetuate the crime. I’m glad I found this site before persuing..

thank u all fndzz please dont blindly believe any fake emails dont send any details of u rs.. be alert
It is obviously a scam but I’m just tired of constantly deleting these from my email everyday. What I want to know is what are the authorities doing about this? These people should go to jail for misleading people that are less intelligent and gullible.
Very difficult to prosecute, because it goes international, and you have to actually show a loss to file a complaint, and these guys are very good at covering their tracks. The best you can do is dry up the source of their revenue by educating people that this is a scam. If there no willing victims, this would be a a waste of time for them. That’s what this website was originally designed to do, but based on the comments I have to moderate, there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of idiots.
Hello

There is no money, you idiot. It’s a scam.
