Return of the Hoaxers
SpitfireI`ve just received an e-mail from `Dr. Uba Jaga` of the `Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation`. Now being a friendly sort of chap, I am offering you a share of my good fortune. All you have to do is send me all your bank details and I`ll forward them on , together with my own and in return we will shortly be able to share out $21.5 million between us!!!!!!!!!!! DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THAT WE CAME DOWN WITH THE RAIN? Can anyone remember which organisation wanted these hoaxes forwarding on to them?
noelLancashire Trading Standards will probably be interested.
HayleypinkROFLLLL I have had 5 this week....do you mean they arent true??????? <g>
Lady GriffinAm still waiting for my diamond samples from the chap in Angola who wanted to marry me. Can trust nobody these days.

Martin"Return of the hoaxers" I thought this was going to be about Lady G and William R [;)]
William RHave you been using Hayley's tarot cards or gazing at her crystal ball, Martin, to come to this conclusion!!! Time will reveal all. Watch this space. William R -no Lady G-From over the Pennines-cheerio.
Hayleypinkconfused!!!
noelDon't be confused Hayley. Seek and ye shall find. 8-)

Crumbs the 2 Lindas, or is it Lindae [:)] I hadn't realised. Thankyou. ( That's one nearer 1000)
MartinIf you add the two Lindas together, that's over 1300 posts... I'm sure Bill should be in there somewhere too.
Hayleypinkwow!

I am rather taken with Lindae as the plural. What say you, Linda G?
noelToday i received this rather odd e-mail. "Hello, I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display. I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms. In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Sunday July 27th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Stand Time. If you miss this timeframe please email me. 42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level. Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. There is a good chance that sombody will try to redirect the signal. The unit must be teleported directly in a way that nobody will be able to interfere with the transference. After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

SpitfireThis appears to be a really lucky period for me. Following hard on the heels of an offer of $21.5M from a Nigerian petrol company, I am now offered a partnership with a South African bank manager for 20% of $22.5M. How many do you think actualy reply to these people?

Interesting Noel. I hadn't seen that one before, so I did some searching and found this... [url]http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/timetravelspam.html[/url]

After doing some research, I discovered that I wasn't the first person curious about this mystery email. People have been finding it in their inbox and wondering about it since at least late 2002, but no one really seems to have a solution as to what it is.
noelThanks for that research Martin, I'll check on it after a few posts. Today I received 2 more hoaxes. This one.Confidential Business Assistance Requested STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL Dr. David Moloto Pretoria South Africa. Email:georgemoloto@mail15.com and this one. Dr.Dr. Ibikoro John. Secretary to the Niger Delta Development Commission, Old Secretariat Complex, Victorial-Island, Lagos. Dear Sir, I am a highly placed official of Government of Nigeria and also a founding member of the rulingPeoples Democratic Party(PDP). I've clipped the posts to save boredom. Friend, It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your information were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Government delegation on a trip to your Country during a bilateral conference talk to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.
noelUmm I've checked the URL now Martin. I think it's a email addy book gathering thing for either spam or worse still a virus, how about you? Maybe the guy is just nuts but can we take the chance?
MartinI thought the bit about these devices being on Ebay was rather amusing. Maybe he is a nutcase!
