I have no idea what you are looking for, but he has it for $1000 if you paypal it to him asap.
To think so many people lose money on these things.... You wanna hear one that was REALLY close to home for me...
My best frined worked at a printing company. His supervisor started asking him questions about inhertiance so he suggested that they call me (I'm an accountant). So my friend called me and wanted to know the best way to avoid taxes when inheriting large amounts of money form overseas... He never told me the situation, who had it, nothing...
Fast forward 2 months. His supervisor pulled $230,000 of equity out of his home for 'processing fees' in order to recover the $22 million in inheritnace his son-in-law was entiltled to in a letter sent to him via EMAIL. They flew over to England to go meet the guy to sign all the necessary documentation etc... They actually had to go into a bank, but when they arrived, someone was waiting for them. He directed them to the elevator and they went up several floors to another office (at this point you have to wonder why you are no longer in the bank). They gave the guy the money they were told to bring ($230,000) and after a bunch of paper work was filled out and signed they were given a receipt for a wire transfer for $22 million and change.
I cannot belive these 2 grown men were DUMB enough to fall for a Nigerian money scam and to fly to England to give away $230,000!!!!!!!
Let's just say if they were straight up with me and had not hidden the details he would not have a new mortgage on his house. I would have known is 2 SECONDS flat that it was a scam.
This was the most stupid thing I had ever seen/heard happening this close to home for me.
There's some pretty crazy nigerian scam stories on the internet

me too. It happened a few months back on Craigslist. I handed it over to my uncle (who works with the fbi) and he turned it over to the right division. I later learned that the person who tried to scam me lived on the other side of the world (not sure where).
Pretty funny website where people document there adventures in Scambaiting. Which is basically wasting the scammers time and having a bit of fun with them. There's people on there that have received busts made out of wood, cash, someone even got them to perform a skit of Monty Python and send them the DVD.
