EP1C N3RD 45 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 I got an email that's supposedly from the central bank of nigeria. It was a 419 scam, you know the nigerian prince if that rings a bell. Look at how poorly written it is even I know how to write better(I suck at writing to be honest). Just take a good look at it and watch. I didn't fall for it as I dont trust anything from Nigeria 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Circuits 603 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 I'm honestly amazed at some of the spam i've seen. The Nigerian Prince thing has been around since the dawn of the internet. The serious part about spam is that it's obviously a numbers game. If the numbers simply didn't work out or nopony clicked them or fell for them, they wouldn't exist. These things keep coming because people keep falling for them. Every year, more and more people join the internet or get online somehow and so it literally is kinda feeding itself... we must not love ourselves enough to keep doing crap like this. 1 For I have saved your soul in the heavens, and now save it on the ground. - TwilighCelunaCircuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar tag: shipping 299 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 (edited) There are websites out there that will show you how to troll these guys. You play along with them and see how long you can keep their interest before they give up or you get bored and clue them in. I thought it would be fun to do, until I realized how much time you would have to put in and I didn't have time fo dat... I will get them from time to time and they're worth a few lulz to read. My favorite by far is the one that's circulating the interbutts that's based on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It's just too rich... Edited April 23, 2013 by FMStorm Sig by the one and only Doc Volt!

Scootalove 10,689 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 Scams are just a sad attempt to try to troll customers and make a quick buck by promising products that don't come at all or they aren't even real products. What a sad attempt to steal information. That's what I would do, to the person who sent that. 2 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 Why are you hating on the price of Nigeria? He is only trying to help people by promising them millions of dollars only to rob them blind, I mean what is a little fraud between friends? 1 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,994 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 I remember trying to get tricked into joining GoldSteam. It's like Valve Software's Steam platform program, but it's free, all the games on it are free, and it has no corporate citations or copyright.

Creamy Arty 6,252 May 1, 2013 Share May 1, 2013 This thread appears to be some manner of random (but strangely enjoyable) nonsense, or something spammy of the sort. Thus, it has been sentenced to the Forum Lounge section of Cloudsdale Colosseum. This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

It's been going on since the 1970s, they used to send physical letters to businesses, the internet allowed them to greatly expand... and they make a ton of money from it. I have no idea how people still fall for it... in some cases people have lost millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical 64 May 1, 2013 Share May 1, 2013 Got grandma? Have you sat her down and explained the facts of the internet to her? If not, isn't it about time you did? She needs you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
