I got one of these emails the other day, and I figured I'd respond with fake info just to mess with the guy. Before I send it off, however, I'd like some feedback on what I've written.
[b]First, this is the email I was sent:[/b]
[i]Dear friend,
Please consider to help me relocate this $15.65m for establishing an industry in your country.This fund was deposited in our bank our customer
who died in 2007 without a heir. A routine notification was sent to her forwarding E-mail address but without responses.
The customer did not declare her next of kin in the bank official papers including her real home contacts.
This money has been floating and if I do not remit it out urgently it will be confiscated by the government as unclaimed fund.
You will be compensated for your collaboration to receive this fund in to your country. I will give you all vital information and clarification when I receive your reply.
Meanwhile kindly send the following info:
(1) Your name in full.
(2) Your full residential address.
(3) Your occupation.
(4) Your City.
(5) Your Country of origin.
(6) Your Mobile phone.
(7) Your age.
(8) Your marital status.
Regards,
Mr.Anwal S. Ibram.[/i]

I would send them pics of my junk
-
Plot twist, some guy will wake up in the morning with that full amount deposited into his checking account.
-
What you did there, I see
-
Norman is gonna be over the moon with all this money.
-
The real Norman is about to be rich
-
Pics or fake
-
... Why does your phone number have 11 digits?
-
Please, keep us updated. XD
-
"And all you have to do is keep a private server in your bathroom."
-
Just do it and don't tell me about it
-
FBI has been notified of your bank fraud
-
OP is dead
-
Let me know how this goes
-
Any response?
-
You should've said like regards and changed the name to mess with him even more

-
Can't wait to see the conversation slowly form
-
10/10
-
I am amused
-
Yeaaaaaah boy. Get that Rick rollin!
-
Rick roll, easy to find, but confusing as well. Also made the whole thing hard to read because the only capital letters were on those words.
-
Don't enquire into scams in the first email because they dont respond to that kind of stuff. You need to play along until you get the [i]real[/i] golden messages.
-
HOLY CRAP You have to do this. What you are doing so far reminds me of this!
-
Holy shit, after reading some of the replies and putting everything together, this is amazing XD

Should've done a quick grammar check.
