Like everyone else with email,I get my share of "Nigerian scams" .After I received a recent
scam email I decided to play along to see if I could scam the scammer.
What follows are actual email exchanges between one such scammer and myself.I've copied his emails as is;
I've x-ed out my email address on this page for obvious reasons. Otherwise, what you are reading is accurate.
This is an on-going series and I'll keep this updated when I receive more emails from this particular scammer.I've also recently
changed the format to make it easier to keep track. You can click on the page numbers now. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Note:Wait!!!! I spoke too soon again.

I have decided to look for someone else that is seriouse to conclude the transaction with me, but based on the fact that i cannot locate someone with the same surname i decided to send my picture to you as you requested. I have giving you enough prove to trust me but it seems your not ready to provide the necessary informations needed for us to proceed with the transaction. I will like you to send your picture too to enable me trust you before we proceed. Attached is my picture Thanks Barrister Modestus Iba ![]() Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 18:14:20 -0700 (PDT) From: "Lucy Ricardo" lucy_ricardoxxxx@yahoo.com Subject: Re: Find attached my picture To: "BARR MODESTUS IBA" barr_modestusiba129@yahoo.com Thank you for sending your photo.It is a very charming picture of you. I must tell you that the money isn't so important to me......I am very well off. I can very easily travel to Nigeria to conduct our business in person. I think we can work this to our mutual advantage. I am sending two photos of myself. I hope you like them. Take care. :) Lucy.
