Scam - as if the broken "Eeeeen glish" wasn't a tip off...

How people even thing that stuff like this would work is beyond me.

I would contact Blizzard directly with a copy of that email attached.

Hi, my name ie Elvis Mugabe from Nigeria. I was playin WoW too, when I noticed your character dropped a winning lottery ticket. If you send me fifty dollars I can mail this ticket to you.

Send cash, as we do not have banks in WoW in Nigeria.
Please send the money to:

Steed
345 Gordy B St
Nigeria, Africa

[Reece]

^ Poor Steed!!:haha:

I will send an email to Blizzard, they may no the guy from the return email address or something!:hmmm:
Edit: email sent.

I never played WoW. I always thought it was damn funny listening to grown adults (older that 35) arguing over who's elf was tougher:har:. And the best part is, they are dead serious.

My elf has 85 hit points and will kick your wizzards ass.

Oh yeah, well my garden gnome has a pet dragon and he'll eat your whimpy elf.

oh yeah! well my [ continue arguement for the next 2 hours]:har:

[krashkart]

I've never played WoW so I'll draw upon my MUD days:

>put giblets ALICE pack
You put a pile of elf giblets in a ALICE pack

Yeah, but that's stuff that actually matters!

Edit: And for the record, it's Fleet Boats. :D

Okay, so here's the match-up:
Aussie elf vs Kiwi Elf:

Fight!:salute:

Well after a few weeks of grinding for the 'No beer for Aussies' spell once i use this on an aussie elf they would turn tree huggers for life. Of course since we have no airforce we would be stuffed if they counter attacked with goblin flyers. :rotfl2:

[Sledgehammer427]

I got one a while back from a group of Soldiers in Iraq...

they were trying to give me 25,000,000 dollars... I sent them a very angry return email, because I investigated their unit and found it to be a group of wartime photographers. They picked the wrong kid to spam e-mail. I did it again with some nigerian thing and for the last 3 months I've been spam free...
perhaps you should tell them that "if they know your e-mail address they should find your home adress so you can kick their [expletive deleted] in person"

worked for me:D

[TLAM Strike]

I got one a while back from a group of Soldiers in Iraq...

I once got one from a Cosmonaut on Mir the old Russian Space Station...
:o:haha::nope:

From Reece corpse to Krashkart: Decompose... Stink... Pew!!:haha:

Why would you want to steal a picture of my Son and I plus my FF page? What ever turns you on!!:har:
BTW it's with their ship not on their ship!:yep:

[krashkart]

I know. I'm totally going to hell for this, Reece. :har: Did you check the link (in my sig)? :D


It would have been funnier to modify your sig but, I don't know how to do that kind of stuff. :)

EDIT:

*looks at pic*

Yer old, dewd! J/K :smug:


*facepalm* Gods, my flair for practical jokes needs some re-flairing.

Wonder how much a Barbie doll is nowadays?:hmmm:

[krashkart]

Hehe. I've just discovered that it's kind of difficult to pull that one off in a way that would get everyone snickering. Oh well. :DL

Jim, I cloned Reece's signature into mine and replaced the link to his Filefront page with a link to a Barbie video game catalog. It would have been the perfect practical joke had I been able to modify his signature in some way, but possible jail time and banning from Subsim are not things I aspire to. :DL

Anyway, now my sig just reflects my utter disappointment at the failed joke. :haha:

EDIT:

I also changed his tagline to read "Sub captains go down on their ship" :har:
