How do you like our Reply Letter

Okay, we're getting ready to start putting the scam back on the scammers. Here's a rough draft we're working on for the reply to put a couple of these spammers together. We hope you'll all participate and give us your advice on how to make this work. Let's have some fun. At the very least it will tie them up for a few days.

Dear Barrister ________,

I am so excited about this unbelievable offer. I've never won anything in my life and my financial condition has been so poor right now that I really could use this money fast. I need this so bad.

I hope you understand I'm a little hesitant to do this on my own because I've never dealt with this much money before and I don't have a FedEx account. I am really lucky because I have a relative who lives in England and when I talked to them they told me it sounds legit. I offered to give them a thousand dollars if they would help me out. One of their best friends is Barrister ___________. My cousin talked to their Barrister friend and he said he would be willing to help me secretly get the funds transferred quickly and without any problems.

I can't believe this is really happening. You are so kind to work with me on this. Are you sure you don't want some of the money. I'll gladly offer you a few thousand for making this happen.

If you'll talk to my cousins attorney he will give you all of the information you need to get this thing going. I don't know enough about Fedex and bank account transfers to feel comfortable doing this by myself. I hope you understand. My friend did mention that it would be a gesture of good faith if you could send $10 to my account to make sure the transfer works smoothly before we do the 1.4 million. I'll leave that up to you because I don't know what he's trying to do.

I still can't believe this has happened to me. I am so grateful to you for bringing this deal to me.
Please contact Barrister ___________ as soon as possible because I'm not going to be able to sleep until I know this is for real. His phone number is __________ and his email address is ________. Just so you'll know I didn't tell my cousin how much money it was because I don't trust him enough to keep his mouth shut about this. I don't want to mess this up. I want to be as secretive as possible if that's okay.

Once you talk to Barrister ________ and you work out the small $10 deal he will contact me on how to set up the deal the best way. We have a fedex office real close to our house so I should be able to set up the account and pay the $135 real easy once I have the right directions for how to put the deposit down to pay for the transfer. I'm going to take the $135 deposit out of my paycheck so my wife won't know. She is going to be so surprised when I buy her a new car. We might even take a trip to Germany to personally meet with you and thank you for finding us. This is a dream come true. Thank you so much.

Your grateful friend,
______________

Time to Fight Back! Let's Spam the Spammers

As you can tell from this blog there are hundreds upon thousands of spam scams circulating on the World Wide Web. Our email mailboxes get filled with these scams every day. It's quite frustrating because it takes time to delete these emails...........and.........we get so used to seeing them that we could actually delete a real email of importance.

So today I started to wonder....how can we fight back? Then an idea came to mind.

What if we all copy and paste the SAME scam and send it back to the original sender. Maybe he/she would then spend so much time deleting their spam that they wouldn't have time to spam others :)

To protect ourselves lets write, "This is a spam email we received which we DO NOT believe to be true. In NO way do we endorse the contents of this email, however, we thought you may want to investigate since it used your name and email address as the sender. We have forwarded a copy to the appropriate parties so they can investigate and clear you and your clients name if either of you have been misrepresented. Good luck in resolving this matter."

If anyone wants to join in on the fight here's todays opportunity.

We received this spam scam from: robertkenolly_esq66@yahoo.com
Here's the email scam sent in by Robert:

Just copy and paste the email below and send it back to the address listed above. Hopefully he'll get the message.....over and over and over and over.

Dear Sir/Madam,


This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form,rather it is intended to contact your esteemed self, following the knowledge of your high repute and trust worthiness.

Firstly,I must solicit your confidentiality. I know that a proposal of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but I am assuring you that it is made in good faith and will be of mutual benefit.

I am Barr.ROBERT KENOLLY, Esq, the personal attorney to Mr.William,herein after referred to as my client, who used to work with National Oil plc.My client and his entire family were involved in a plane mishap that took place in Kano

For more details and pictures of the plain crash Please Click and view the Link below to see Clip of the incident.News.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1968616.stm

I have since made several inquiries to your Embassy, in a bid to locate any relation of my client, and these efforts of mine have not been productive. I then decided to trace his last name over the internet, and came across your name which is why I have contacted you to assist me in securing the money and property left behind by my client before they are declared as unclaimed and unserviceable by the bank where they have been lodged for safekeeping.

I am particularly interested in securing the funds lodged with a Finance Firm,The sum of USD11.5M Dollars.This is because the said Bank has issued a notice to me, unequivocally instructing me to produce the Next of Kin / Beneficiary to the said account within the next ten official working days, or have the account confiscated. Considering my lack of success in my bid to locate his relatives for over two years,I solicit your consent to enable me produce you as the Next of Kin to my deceased client, since you both bear the same last name.

The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and shared according to a proposed sharing pattern /ratio of 60:40 i.e. 60% for me and 40% for you. I will provide the necessary, legally obtained documents to back up any claim we make
regarding this process, and will just require your understanding/ cooperation to enable us achieve success within a legitimate arrangement, laminating any liability resulting from any breach of the prevalent laws.

Your urgent response will be highly appreciated. My direct contacts have been provided above, use same accordingly for effective communication,then kindly respond immediately.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Barr.ROBERT KENOLLY(Esq)
