    This time UNITED NATIONS is the mask for the Nigerian scamers.

    Here is the exact email

    Sorry Kofi Anan.:D

    The mail is sent from unitednation@un.org. Most probably a PHP mailing script. So be carefull.;)

    i truely agree with you... i saw some news on the TV ....

    Damn ,
    why they do these kinda things.:(


    as a person who is new to the internet thing .. can be easily fooled.


    i suppose everyday somewhere or other place some people are trapped....

    why .. when you send the BIO something something .... they (nigerians) check the ages so ... they know who can be targeted easily.

    am i right :)

    I'm sure these scams bring in a lot of money, which makes me wonder why they don't hire better copywriters. I mean even if I had never heard of these scams, I would still recognize this letter as unofficial based on sentences like "This funds are in a Bank Draft for security purpose ok? so he will send it to you and you can clear it in any bank of your choice."

    Like many of you, I keep a junk email account. The volume of Nigerian mail has gone off the chart in the last few months.

    I keep seeing this image of thousands of Nigerians, sitting in a giant room pounding out copy for the rest of the world to choke on.
