Always beautifull when businessmen find eachother over such distances, that glance of mutual understanding, the fresh air of oppertunity this is truly is a great world.
Re: Thanks to my african friend, I'll soon be a millionare!!
Isn't there that story of someone who scammed the scammers? Got them to send him money to make the transactions? Probably too good to be true.

Re: Thanks to my african friend, I'll soon be a millionare!!
I'd reply something like this, (remember to make sure your name doesn't get attached with the email anywhere, identity theft chance, etc):
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Dear Mr Johnson Amed,
I am also a businessman, and have been for many years. I trade in a product which will surely be of use to you. And I'd love to to inform you further of that certain wonderful product. It will surely do wonders for your pride, self-esteem, love life and of course most importantly your sex life.
Now you may be wondering what this product may be, so let me inform you. I wish to sell you viagra. Now, part of the physiological process of erection involves the parasympathetic nervous system causing the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. NO binds to the receptors of the enzyme guanylate cyclase which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) of the intimal cushions of the helicine arteries, resulting in increased inflow of blood and an erection.
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. The molecular structure of sildenafil is similar to that of cGMP and acts as a competitive binding agent of PDE5 in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in more cGMP and better erections. Without sexual stimulation, and therefore lack of activation of the NO/cGMP system, sildenafil should not cause an erection. Other drugs that operate by the same mechanism include tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Sildenafil is metabolised by hepatic enzymes and excreted by both the liver and kidneys. If taken with a high-fat meal, there may be a delay in absorption of sildenafil and the peak effect might be reduced slightly as the plasma concentration will be lowered. So remember to only take it just prior to any acts of congress, that is for the best results. And they will be good results, trust me, your woman (or man if you are so inclined) will be appreciative of your increased sexual drive.
In short, or will that be long, I forget. You will surely be interested in the purchase of good quality Viagra, for a small fee of one hundred and fifty US dollars per one hundred ninety milligram pills (US$150 for 100 90mg pills).
PS: You might want to purchase condoms or perhaps some pornography to supplement your viagra purchases. These are services I can also provide.
Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.

Re: Thanks to my african friend, I'll soon be a millionare!!
I got one of those scam letters a year or two ago. I played along as much as possible, I wanted the guy to get really worked up. I told him/them I was an elderly widow and was very lonely without my dear "Ralph". I sent pics of "me and Ralph" that I got off the net. I told the scam dude it sounded like he was doing God's work and was wonderful to offer an older woman such a generous opportunity, and that is was so nice to have someone to talk to.
I kept it going for a bit, but then the other guy(s) just stopped writing. I should see if I still have the letters on my old hotmail account.
Re: Thanks to my african friend, I'll soon be a millionare!!
I've never had one, though I remember seeing a programme on this years ago.
It was'nt necessarily about trying to scam the scammer, more humiliate them.
I remember one guy replied that he was a member of some sort of extreme Christian church/cult, and that he could only do business with his fellow members. So to join this cult, it ended up with the scammer sending pictures of himself sitting balancing fish on his forehead and things like that.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

The FBI today is providing a warning to the public against an ongoing scheme
involving jury service and internet/phones fraud. The public needs to be aware
that individuals identifying themselves as U.S. court employees have been
telephonically contacting citizens and advising them that they have been
selected for jury duty. These individuals ask to verify names and Social
Security numbers then ask for credit card numbers. If the request is refused,
citizens are then threatened with fines illegally.
The judicial system does not contact people telephonically and ask for personal
information such as your Social Security number, date of birth or credit card
numbers. If you receive one of these phone calls, do not provide any personal
or confidential information to these individuals. This is an attempt to steal
or to use your identity by obtaining your name, Social Security number and
potentially to apply for credit or credit cards or other loans in your name. It
is an attempt to defraud you. Crime and fraud is real, so be careful.
Working closely with our partners in intelligence, law enforcement,
military, and diplomatic circles, the FBI’s primary responsibility is to
neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the United States and help
dismantle terrorist networks/money laundry and internet fraud worldwide.
Although protecting the United States from terrorist attacks and money laundry
is our first priority, we remain committed to the defense of America against
foreign intelligence threats as well as the enforcement of federal criminal
laws, all while respecting and defending the Constitution.
If you’ve ever watched one of those crime dramas on TV and heard the term
“NCIC” mentioned in passing and wondered what it was, you’re probably not
alone.
NCIC, which stands for National Crime Information Center, is one of the
unsung heroes of crime-fighting—little known to the public, but used every
day by law enforcement officers nationwide and even across the border to take
terrorists and criminals off the street, find missing persons and property, and
save lives.
We’re very proud of NCIC’s legacy, but what’s most important to us is
what it can do today,” says Bush. “We’re constantly trying to make it
better and faster.” And we have, with a major technical upgrade in 1999 and
important additions of terrorism and gang information in recent years.

It's definitely a scam, dude. I got an email exactly like this yesterday, and I've also gotten numerous ones claiming I'm the reciprient of several hundred million British pounds as named by my "distant Uncle Robert in Blackpool".
Only two problems there: (a) I have an Uncle Robert, but he lives in northern California, and (b) my family ties to the "motherland" disappeared a little after AD 1500 (my dad's researched all that stuff).
It's all a scam to get your bank account # and whatever else.
Take it from a guy who actually fell for one of these scams.
Re: Thanks to my african friend, I'll soon be a millionare!!
There seems to me to be a lot of these scams about at the moment. Today I got my first ever "fake lottery" scam. Apparently there is some benevolent organisation which has decided to run a lottery on the internet, generously collecting everyone's email address, assigning them numbers, running the draw and then giving huge sums of money to the winners, all without me having to buy a ticket or even enter. And I've won! Fancy that!
