| Nigerian scam on a whole notha level
HNL yo! mad tv style 
got this in the mail the other month was gonna post but put it away and thought i lost it, cleaning out my drawers today found it, literally scared of even touching the letter who knows where it came from and what kind of chemicals or germs could be on the paper.
i guess there's still hard working scammers out there who will go the extra mile and actually mail you a fcking letter instead of doing the typical email scam.
this looks to be a scam setup in england, i actually saw a news clip few years back about these office setups where they have dozens of african immigrants working in parts of london doing these types of scam all day long, it's crazy
i resized the pics to 1600x1200 but they might still show up large, photobucket lags

Tell her you shipped the phone directly to her daughter, her daugher has recieved the phone and that you got an nice email from her thanking you.
Then you can write a fake email being Mrs. Diane's daughter and tell the world what a whore you are.  | |

tell her that you're helping someone import a $40k LFA from the state and that you will send her the tracking details later.
and might as well ask her if she wants you to help her buy one too.

So any idea where these scammers operate from? Their english is always terrible like that, the exact same grammar style..
Nowaways anytime i get a
"Is your ITEM for sale" without any explicit reference to the item for sale, I just immediately delete the email...

whats fcked up is, enough people respond and fall for this shit for these scammers to continue doing this.
i mean if the shit didnt work, obviously they wouldnt waste their time with it.
i really dont know whether to feel sorry for the people who fall for it, or just think they deserve it because you would have to be an idiot to actually believe it.
but i would have to excuse the elderly out of this equation for obvious reasons
