MY BELOVE ONE.(stella_collinss016@yahoo.co.jp )
I AM MRS STELLA TRICIA COLLINS FROM FRANCE, A WIDOW TO LATE TOM COLLINS
I AM 55 YEARS OLD, I AM NOW A NEW CHRISTAIN CONVERT, SUFFERING FROM
LONG TIME CANCER OF THE BREAST, FROM ALL INDICATION MY CONDITIONS IS
REALLY DETERIORATING AND IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I WON探 LIVE MORE
THAN 2 MONTHS, ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE CACER STAGE
HAS GOTTEN TO A VERY BAD STAGE.MY LATE HUSBAND DIED LAST FIVE YEARS,AND
DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR MARRIAGE WE COULD誰T PRODUCE ANY CHILD.
MY LATE HUSBAND WAS VERY WEALTHY AND AFTER HIS DEATH, I INHERITED ALL
HIS BUSINESS AND WEALTH. THE DOCTORS HAS ADVISED ME THAT I MAY NOT LIVE
FOR MORE THAN 2 MONTHS, SO I NOW DECIDED TO DEVIDE THE PART OF THIS
WEALTH, TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH IN AFRICA, AMERICA
ASIA,AND EUROPE. I SELECTED YOU AFTER VISITING THE WEBSITE AND I PRAYED
OVER IT. I AM WILLING TO DONATE THE SUM OF $5,000.000.00U.USD( FIVE
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED.
PLEASE I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT FUND IS LYING IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVORIE. ONCE I HEAR FROM YOU, I WILL FORWARD TO YOU ALL
THE INFORMATIONS YOU WILL USE TO GET THIS FUND RELEASED FROM THE
SECURITY COMPANY AND TO BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. I HONESTLY PRAY THAT
THIS MONEY WHEN TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE SURE FOR THE SAID
PURPOSE, BECAUSE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT WEALTH ACQUISITION WITHOUT
CHRIST IS VANITY.
MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF
GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST.

That stupid 60yr old guy did. Thought he was gettting a lot of money and a 16 yr old bride. Dumb bastard.
The funniest was my grandma's brother (we'll call BOB) got a phone call. The guy on the other line just started spouting out random crap about all of Bob's info is on the web and he needed to give the guy his bank info so he could take it off. Bob asked who he was and the guy told Bob that that wasnt important he needed his info. Bob told him to **** off. Old people can be funny at times. Hell he's in his 70's and he didnt fall for it.

Back a few years ago I corresponded with one of those Nigerian scammers and he actually sent me a check for like $100k or some ****. Amazingly it looked like a legit check but I knew better. Sadly there's a lot of people that fall for those scammers.
There are also somewhat similar scams of guys posting ads of craigslist for bike in other states which are too good to be true deals. Just send them the money in escrow and they ship you the bike. Another scam has scammers buying some item you're selling, they send you a fake check for like +100% more than what you're asking, then you just send back the difference to them plus the item you're selling. Heard of one guy who cashed a check, which cleared, he sent the money, then got the funds revoked from his account and he was out several thousand dollars. Another guy cashed a check, it came back as a fake and his bank called the cops and I think he got arrested, but later released.
