Topic: Anyone need 32 million dollars? (Read 1493 times)

sure you have parts of that in bitcoin? i can always post my btc address lol.

outside the obvious giving away personal info nonsense.. lol.

I made a $100 bucks off a Nigerian scammer. I told him I needed an advance to send money to him so I received $100 from western union. LOL.

That's the whole point Bitcoins101 is making; it would take too much effort to respond to a 1000 people. That's why the bait is so poorly written, to attract only the dumbest of people.

And no, not automated; as Rawted already said it's an "old" scam...

This has nothing to do with the BTC ecosystem, and 419 scams have been well known since the 1980s. Please remove this junk.

pretty sure some folks still get caught in the moment and send money

How would he have actual conversations with 1,000 people? I would think this would take ridiculous amounts of time. Any email that a "prince" sends is going to have to be automated, along with any response to a response that it gets.

The point is to make it so ridiculous so that only the dumbest of the dumb respond.

Let me explain.

The Prince sends out 200,000 spam emails with something that is plausible and makes sense. He may receive real responses from 1,000 people, all of which will take a significant amount of time to converse with. However, maybe only 1/500 people will actually go for the scam after that.

The Prince sends out 200,000 spam emails with an absolutely ridiculous explanation. He may only receive 50 real responses, but 1/25 follow through. He's able to get the same number of victims while spending time only conversing with 50 people instead of 1,000.

The pure stupidity of these emails filter out all reasonable people immediately, which is the Prince's goal.

rubbish thread. Moving on.... lol

Can't believe that people get taken on this...

Just normal scam message xD

Seems legit.

The Nigerian prince must have passed away recently.

Just had the email below, but I have enough money in the bank so thought I would post and give someone less well of the opportunity
