This is great! I just got my $450,000 yesterday! All I can say is I'm so happy I'm giving out a thousand to all my friends. To make sure that one person doesn't double dip please PM me with your debit card number, pin number, email address (with password) and Social Security number.

This is totally a joke. Don't actually do that. I assumed you would get that before having to read the fine print.

Ive never gotten any Free Nigerian Lottery/Inheritance e-mails

 

[terry78]

I got a bunch of mystery shopper ones. I messed with them once and signed up, completely with a p.o. box address and what not. They sent me a "check" to cash, which was obviously fake. I went to my bank and was like, "somebody sent me this in the mail, can you verify it?" They were like, "this is fake, we'll have to contact this company." They knew me pretty well so they knew i wasn't just creating fake ****, but hopefully they were able to at least put some kind of temporary stop to it.

 

[BlackLantern]

at least you didn't run in there like "cash this check mother****ers!!" like some people would do....

I had an aunt do that 95,000 and spend most of it in one day

There is this MMORPG called EVE; it's a space-game with a diverse system of gameplay. If you wanted to become a pirate, you could. If you wanted to own territories/solar systems, you and your corporation/alliance could do that. If you wanted to get into industry and build things and sell them to other players, you could do that as well. The game had its own player-based economy, and the idea is to get as much money as you can as quickly as possible.

Well, to get to the point, the game was HILARIOUS because you'd see about every type of scam imaginable to get in-game money. They followed a similar pattern as the scam(s) above. People actually fell for this **** a LOT. It wasn't uncommon to hear of somebody scammed out of enormous sums of money because they're simply ******ed. I made a fair amount of money in the game that way.

Now, what if you were to put these same people in this real-life situation? Sad to say, but I think that a lot of them would give these people their money, fully expecting reimbursement or some type of cash prize. Seriously, the scams in this game are EXACTLY like these e-mail scams....and they worked. A LOT.
