    Have you ever gotten one of those Nigerian scams in your email? You know - where they say you won millions in a lottery (or whatever)? Well the webmaster on this site http://www.419hell.com/ answers those scam emails and does everything he can think of to mess with the scammer's head and waste their time.


    Here is a fake photo ID that one of the scammers sent him...
    (I think I could eat a photo with some paper and poop a more convincing ID!)

    Once a girl, who recently lost her parents in a air accident had mailed me. LOL

    She said she wants to transfer some funds to My country ( didn't even mention the country) and she wanted my help to get here the funds and she was willing to pay 10% of the total transaction to me for this help.Apparently , she wanted these funds for here marriage...

    I Just thought of replying , come over here babes... I will marry you. ROFLMAO !
