    Somehow this one message did not go to my gmail's spam fiilter (out of 1,000), so I had to read it! :D

    Thats funny, anyone got one of these?

    Whats the point of this message do you reckon? Collecting valid emal addresses? (in case some dumb people reply :p)

    Heh, funny, but unfortunately a lot of dumb people send bank information and what not, I wonder what the percentage of people actually do it? It must a reasonable amount since the scammers still send the e-mails.

    What is even funnier is there is someone out there that has fallen victim to this email.

    I've had an alarming increase in these in my spam box. I have no idea why, but the last two days Ive gotten about five of these money emails where as before I got maybe two a month. Any ideas why?

    Apparently I have 1.5 million from the Benin Republic, 2.5 million from a Japanese businessman via an Italian bank, and another 1.5 million from an undisclosed location among others. Go me :p

    Well, when you have too many monopoly games and too much monopoly cash, you like to share it with people. I win the lottery in 12 countries every week, and yet I never see a dime of my winnings. After I told them I can't accept monopoly money or Nigerian bank cheques, I stopped winning. :(

    I never read those e-mails. If spam filter will pass them, sure I will delete it without reading.
