I don't need another million -I just inherited a few million from a long lost relative that lived in Nairobi and somehow passed on to the officials there my email address. All I need to do is send them $10,000 as tax on my inhertance.

Do people actually really send money as a result of these scams? Jeesh!

Yes, These crooks make lots of money with their scams. Most of the duped people are elderly and think they hit it big. Our deceased next door neighbor was swindled out of many thousands of dollars by unscoupulous cocksuckers in Canada. They even had access to her checking account and every so often would withdraw $999.00. Just under the limit (from what the police told us) for international fraud. My wife was helping her out one day and looked at her check book. That was how we found out something was wrong. The lady didn't even know who the $999.00 was going to. She also noticed that our neighbor was sending money to all these contest sites that you never win at anyway. I then took the liberty to threathen each and every one of them by mail that if they sent another piece of mail to this ladies address I would hunt them down like the scum they really were. Was it a threat? Maybe. It worked and all junk mailings from all these organizations stopped immediately. Especially the crooks in Canada. We could never get her money back either without spending thousands of dollars more to go after them in Canada with a lawyer. Big Government really works here for the little guy. We could get no assistance from anyone to go after these scumbags. We changed her checking account and cancelled everything she was getting in the mail. We intercepted her mail so that she couldn't send out any more checks to any other organizations that were trying to rip her off. We figured out that these bastards all work together. Once they get a hit on someone they must send out a mailing lists with that persons name on it. Then everyone sends them these crap notices of winning big prizes. Many of them were out of Canada.
