So I had a friend send $2,700 to Nigeria.... - GoFuckYourself.com

TurboAngel · 05-16-2007, 08:55 AM

She swears the guy is going to send her $10,000 back.

I tried to tell her it was a scam but she rushed right up too Western Union with the cash after receiving an email. I don't get people, if it sounds to good to be true then is probably isn't.

who · 05-16-2007, 08:56 AM

I had said women are so dumb.. but I am now too sad about this to leave it up. I feel sad for your friend.

martinsc · 05-16-2007, 08:56 AM

ouch....

Nifty Themes · 05-16-2007, 08:57 AM

Tell her I will make her a better deal. If she sends me $2700 I will send her $20000 back.

Wtf is wrong with you? If my friend was trying to do that, I would have tackled him, tied him to a chair and made him watch a show explaining it's a scam of off youtube...

tASSy · 05-16-2007, 09:33 AM

ok so...yes, i thought we all knew about nigerian scammers. if you want a laugh go to 419eaters.com and check out the scammers being pwnd.

but to say that "women" specifically are stupid for one female falling for this is ignorant. beyond that, the number of spelling errors and typos in response to this post indicate that being a retard isn't limited to the female gender.

TA i'm sorry for your friend, it sucks you can't just explain this sort of thing to people who are not hanging out on the internet all day seeing this spam day in and day out. i suppose she is just about to learn that lesson the really hard way.

stev0 · 05-16-2007, 09:33 AM

If people weren't dumb enough to fall for it, they wouldn't keep sending the emails out...out of curiosity, how old was your friend?

She's like 50 something, I did try to tell her it was a scam and we had a huge fight about it so I haven't heard from her in a week.

BradM · 05-16-2007, 09:44 AM

Wow, I wouldn't be associated with anyone who is stupid enough to go for that. I'd end up killing him/her.

That makes sense...usually older people are the ones who these people prey upon to fall for these types of scams...I feel sorry for her because they are going to be laughing all the way to the bank.

I agree, too many people are falling for it, as soon as people stop falling for it then scammers will just close shop.

I was selling a laptop on ebay and would get lots of the "I am in the military on tour, I'll pay with a check, but I have to get this soon as I may not be at this location long, I'll send a courior pick up so that it doesnt cost you anything to ship"
Or something similar to that. So I said ok to one, and had the courier he sent pick up a 5' peice of rail track, weighed like 100 lbs.
2 weeks later he sent an email saying I was scamming him, lol. He send a check, looked like it was made with a typewriter and on plain white paper, lol.
The tracking showed it went to somewhere in nigeria, must have cost him a pretty penny to have the rail shipped to him too, lol.

vladdy daddy · 05-16-2007, 10:05 AM

An example of a Nigerian money trunk..I see a really good spot in there for her $2,700.

Hahaha

When I had a business on Ebay 2 years ago, I got contacted by a Nigerian asshole once.

He was willing to pay almost double the price for an Ipod, saying he'll pay bla bla.

So he wanted me to send him a "sent" recite, that I mailed him the Ipod and he would transfer me the money.

To my surprise I never got the money, though I sent him a well packed piece of dog in an Ipod box. I even perfumed it! Strange how nobody ever wrote from Nigeria again...
