Hi Lurker,

I join you to petition our admins on the penetration of our mail system of that scam . Though i don't believe in censorship but i personally don't like these e-mails. I forwarded a cut piece of the e-mail here to vindicate you on your assertion.

Hi Folks, thanks for the notice. The subscriber has now been taken care of.
This scammers from Ivory Coast have made several attemps to subscribe since last year and have always been blocked.

Its anoying to receive such mail through Bantaba but the person will not be able to see your e-mail address unless you reply him/her from mail you receive through Bantaba e-mail. However, "Private Messaging" is more like the rest of the forum posting with only your username shown.

We might still have a few subscribed but don't hesitate to contact Admin if you receive any such misuse of the system.

i have received one, read it again, for a small girl, she has a good command of english. she wants a bank account, someone to look after it and make arrangements to come to my country to stay. HO HO HO, i dont think so, if he had money in an account why did he not send her away.
i want someone to reply to this email and ask those questions, start a email trail, it is the only way to catch them.

problem is that if you reply, you give them your e-mail address for further abuse.
i thought about leading them up the garden path, but "she" is probably a dangerous big "he" and who needs the aggro?

I also received one of these 419-messages. Those gangsters don't give up in million of years - I wonder if there are still people who believe their crap. Maybe we should have a sticky '419ers useless' or something like that.

lurker, who did the German translation?

serenata - it was part of the original letter - in english and german. this scam is stupid on so many counts that the sender should go back to scam school and be re-trained. it is the most pathetic one i have seen. laughable.

lurker, thanks, I checked my copy again and found the German (or what should be German) translation.

After reading the first lines I knew what this letter was about and didn't read further. Really, those 419-letters are ridiculous, laughable - but sometimes reading them is really amusing. Did you know that Nigeria, where 419 was 'invented', won a humorous Oxford literature award for this kind of 'prose' last year ?

419 is the Penal Code for Nigerian legislation on money laundering. So the term 419 has become synonymous to financial crime of any sort.
