Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 String them along and see what happens.I am always tempted but then can't be arsed in the end. You know pretend to be all excited about it etc, then tell them to fuck off.I'm always a bit worried they'll manage to somehow hack my email address and find out all sorts of things about me and steal my identity or something...

And one turns round to the other and says something like:"I can't understand why nobody wants any of this cash. There's millions here, and we have to get it out of the country before the Government takes it all away...."Made me chuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not really, I'd imagine they just want it to pay hosting fees, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 They ask for donations - is that not just a scam itself...?Er, not really. They want donations to pay for the hosting etc. Guess they get a lot of traffic, it's not like they force people to give them money or try to trick them into it.Just thought you'd enjoy reading through the email chains of people that have strung these scammers along before.
