SPAMMERS

Andyba linda4u is already banned. I thought there might be a new spammer. Papparazzzi IF U WANT TO PREVENT SPAMMERS , BETTER USE SOME VISUAL IDENTIFICATION TOOL ! Dubai Knight Well, this post is like kicking off with a random statement like: "My hovercraft is full of eels..." If you check almost the first sticky at the top of this forum, you will note it says: "New visual identity for Dubai Forums..." Case rested. I can supply a good recipe for Spam Fritters if anyone actually likes it. :) :) :) Knight Captain Australia "I cannot buy this record, it is scratched" "No, this is a tobacconist" "Ah, I cannot buy this 'tobacconist', it is scratched" ---- OK, enough of that. I probably won't be in Dubai for too much longer now because I have, this very morning, received a private message from one Linda Akumams informing me that she has inherited $7.5 million from her father's cocoa business and is willing to share 15% of it with me if I send her my bank account details. hahahah!

Thank heavens, another Monty Python afficionado!
The '409' scam has reached even better heights as I had one the other day from some US military dude in Iraq who claims he and his troop has found 22 million $ in some hideaway in Tikrit and want to get it out.
Should I book my ticket to Baghdad today?
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Knight Captain Australia Definitely. If you are short on cash I can help you out with the tickets once my Cocoa inheritance money comes through. :-) But seriously, these scams do work. There was a story in the Australian press the other day saying hundreds of thousands of dollars gets wired to Nigeria every year. The cops try and monitor the transfers and let the people know they have been scammed, but only after the first lot of money is gone. It's naivety and greed basically, and you're never going to get rid of those. Andyba

  I am linda akuma, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs christopher akuma.I am 20years old girl. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal. When my mother died on the 21st October 1996, my father took me so special because I am motherless.
  Before the death of my father on the 20th of May 2007 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of US$7.500,000(seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) left in a suspense account in a local bank here in Abidjan,he told me that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).
  Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort input after the successful transfer of this money to your nominated account.
