I have countless emails saved from messing with these people. One of them even called me from the Netherlands! Apparently the Nigerians are banking out of the Netherlands. I have 8 pages worth of correspondence between me and some lady scammer (if she was really a woman). She sent me pictures of herself and her daughters and her supposedly dead husband's casket. She was asking me for rent money and such. I sent her love poems, convinced her I was in Amsterdam to meet her. Ah, funny stuff. I just hope they don't track me down and turn my hand into an ashtray.
** These people can be scammed back. I know of friends who have had money sent to them from the scammers. Say you need a minimum of $250 to open up a new bank account for these transactions, and they have sent Americans money to do so. One friend of mine recieved a check for 250,000 Rupees. His bank wouldn't cash it though.
