I was wondering how many other people are getting these. It’s a bunch of bull crap obviously but it’s annoying. Obviously I’m asking this here due to the line stating “I am member of forums.army.ca”. Though this isn’t the only one like I’ve gotten, another was exactly the same, just from some guy calling himself Tony Edmond.
I wonder how many people actually are stupid enough to fall for this?

If anyone still has the message, please send me the full message headers. I can try to find out where these came from and block that IP. It won't stop you from receiving these messages, but it might stop them from browsing Army.ca to pick up addresses.

Hey Mike, i just emailed you the whole email i received with the address it was sent from, i'm sure the culprit has a few addresses to use, but at least we can start blocking them as they come in.

I think that the majority of stories deal with western Africa due to the continued credibility of moving money out of countries enduring strife. Let face it, it has a much greater impact than trying to talk about times of strife in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. However, the actual source of most of these messages is believed to be India and other South/Southeast Asian countries, the same place a lot of phone scams are currently originating from.
"Hullo, is there an M Willum there please? I am for to calling from First Capital National Bank of Canada about your current account...hullo, hullo? Darn they hung up on me again!"

I love their poncey writing style....reminds me of the fopsy 17th century French characters on Saturday Night Live who kept freaking Norm MacDonald out with their ponciness...
I can almost picture the guy wearing a powdered wig and silk brocade....
I'm with Wes, having a hard time from wetting myself laughing at these idiots....

I got one too, it went to my spam folder and was since deleted...I'm sure I have more too.
Its right up on my priority list with taking advantage of all the wonderful mortgages I've apparently been approved for, enlarging my penis, and "last long time" with Viagra. :
Cheers,
The "penis free" CAW

Whoa? You mean this isnt the broken English of Sandra Dickson, a friendly multi-millionaire who just needs some help? Dammit, there i go giving away my bank account details again. I'm such a sucker.
I replied saying,
"Dear Madam,
I am your most humble servant and would be very much pleased to help you out. Your story brought tears to my eyes and i very much hope i can aid you in this struggle.
Please get back to me as soon as possible,
Your truly,
Eamon Hale"
They usually dont reply but its good fun and like Wes said, not bad for a giggle.

Hale said:
When I first started getting them I replied back on how pathetic their stories were and advised them to at least be more credible and imaginitive. I dont think it improved their grammar and diction, but it might have been a factor in cutting down on the number of these types of emails I used to get...

I doubt it. These scammers 'mugus' are dumb, and use bulk lists of email addys. They will not go to the trouble of deleting your address. But feel free to abuse them, poke fun, or whatever. They are criminals, so give them all the crap you want. Post their email address on a public space so they get spam if you want.GreyMatter said:
