I get these all the time. They are aimed at the Americans more than anything, so in this country they just don't ring true, they might as well have SCAM! written all over them...

Booo, unmonitered mailboxes, those ones are boring, no scambaitinig to be had, baiting is brilliant, gettin those nigerian 'businessmen' in such a state that they don't even know what day of the week it is!

Cheers for the warning tho, had heard mention of this last summer, looks like its resurfaced again.

If anyone has any interest in scamming the scammers and what its about then look over these....

thescambaiter.org also has some simply epic baits as well, including the almost famous cole v anus laptops saga, which is very good, but also a very very VERY long read, plus you have to register to read it all, but its free.
