I think this is $650,000 in Nigerian Mountain Dew coupons. It's mostly donkey feces.

My response to his email.

I guess I am out of luck then because I don't have the money this promo requires to participate. Too bad...it was my intention to use the funds to help the poor in my community and get out of debt from my medical expenses.

How could you not trust someone named Mr. Tiger Vineyard?

[Sombeech]

just dew it.

I mean, a regional representative's office has a telephone number beginning with (44).

You can take this to the next step and say you tried to call, acting dumb, and you tried putting in your local area code in instead. I mean, local representative, right?

Just say you got a couple thousand for Christmas and you can make this happen now. You're just a little confused on what the Pound symbols are doing in front of the Dollar amounts. :haha:

I agree with Beech, you can drag this on for endless laughs. There is also a site called 419 eater that you can post his email address (and scam message sample) and those guys will waste his time for eternity.

I checked out the site. Spent an hour on it. Those guys are brutal! :five:

[Deathcricket]

Soo funny you mention that. After I posted I spent at least an hour reading the stories on there. This one in particular had me rolling. The poor scammer rented a gps, satellite phone, car, and a boat before the 419'er was done with him. My only regret is the ending was missing so I never saw how it ended. My guess is very badly for the scammer. But simply brilliant having him chase fake gps signals looking for a floating briefcase full of 600k in cash lol.

I was hoping for more like a, "Ha ha, sucker!" ending. :haha:

[Deathcricket]

Naw I think there is more and it got cut off. The scammer was just about to rent another boat or try to swim for the briefcase off the shores of Nigeria. These guys don't let up till they have exhausted all the scammer's resources and then give them a final "F U Suckah" farewell letter.

Anyways, some good ideas on there on how to mess with these guys. I can't stop laughing at some of them.
