yup... i've gotten it many times. it is hilarious that these folks honestly believe that the repition of the same thing goes un-noticed. sadly, people fall for it though.

so, whens the wedding? will it be here, or in China... just kidding :)

if you report these to your local sherriffs station, they are "suppose" to forward them to interpol who is working on an active investigation regarding these.
dont forget the russian ones... they are actually the best. very well organized, lol.

Yeah, Well my scammer today asked me for a $1000. I had found out a month ago that he was kicked off for being a ring of scammer. However, not before giving him my email and phone number. I stopped all communication with him. Then today, he's stuck, gee, and asked that I spend money. He left a message but then called again and I told him to stop calling and I knew who he was. I hope he/it/them go away.

Wow I can't believe you let it go that far to the point he started asking for money. Why are people so gullible with these things, I honestly just don't get it. With all the attention these scammers have gotten, how can anyone honestly not be able to recognize them? If they ever mention living in an African country or if they're illiterate and have just had a death in the family, or if they seem to be desperately in love with you even though they don't know you from Adam... then they're a scammer!
