I checked my inbox and I found this in my junk:
My name is Mrs. Ruth Fred I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I
have to you. I am 50 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago,
immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything
he worked
for.

I have been touched by God to donate from what have inherited from my late
husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use
my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. I have asked God to forgive me all my
sins and I believe he has because He is a merciful God.

I will be going in for an operation, and I pray that I survive the
operation. I
have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $6,500,000(Six million five hundred
thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and to help the
motherless. My Barrister his name is Mr.Kobayashi kindly contact him Name
occupation county phone number email:
[email protected] if you
are interested I n carrying out this task, so that he can arrange and tell you
how the Funds will be release to you.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Ruth Fred

Whatever faggot the faggot(s) were trying to do, they did a lame job:
1. I am not motherless.
2. I have never used skye.
3. I'm only 13 years old, Why the fuck would I have a skye account!?

Discuss below.

I got something similar to this but it was in portuguese (i'm portuguese)
It was kinda different but it was still similar to this.

Global spam attack?

Yeh people never fall for these =/

...if they did....id be a VERY rich Nigerian prince by now.....

Here's what I found on Google when searching Ruth Fred:
The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.
Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses."

Same goes for DR. Fetus.
In conclusion, Nigerian scams tried to fraud you into sending them 100$.
That's just lazy.

Trolls... THEY ARE EVERY WHERE!

That's me, Mr. Kobayashi. no.

I saw a show that showed different techniques of scammers on the internet and people who've fallen victim to the more convincing ones, like the ones that the scammers spent days on researching about the certain people they're sending them to.

DeathEnhanced: This certain one wasn't directed at Frosty himself, but rather sent to random emails across the internet. The ones directed at certain people/ groups of people tend to be a lot more convincing, and many times people fall for this trap out of interest, curiosity, and gullibility.

I've only gotten junk mail since I put my e-mail on the clan thread so...

In soviet russia, you spam emails.

Basically, Nigeria has become the online equivalent of Somolia.

Only sometimes Somolians can get money from smart people, too.
