Default Hei, my first time!

No, not that kind of first time or I am not a virgin anymore.

Got my first Nigerian Mail:

How are you today?
The below payment has been awarded to you by the
Nigeria Government/World Bank to compensate you on the past
experience had with the Nigeria scammers.

I write to inform you that we have already sent you $10,000.00
through Western Union as we have been given the mandate to transfer
your full compensation payment total sum of $250,000.00 via Western Union by the Government.

I have on a good authority email you the MTCN and sender's
details to enable you pick up the first $10,000.00,USD and confirm
receipt to us so as to enable us wire the next USD10,000.00 by tomorrow and
subsequent ones since we can only send USD10,000.00 a day.

Please pick up this information and get to any western union
in your country to pick up the $10,000.00 and email the Western Union
outlets incharge of the payment so that they could send you another
payment tomorrow.

Western Union contact information:
Manager: Mr. Paul Ben
Email:
paulben177@hotmail.com

Call or Email them once you picked up the $10,000.00 today, if
there is any problem with them paying you make sure to contact this
Western Union outlet with the information given to you Below.

Below is the western union information for pick up:

MTCN: 017-591-6070
Sender's Name: Micheal Wells
Question: Colour
Answer: Pink
Amount: $10,000.00

They will be expecting your call once you pick up $10,000.00.


Best Regards,
Terry Scott
Outlet Manager
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER

Ahahhahahhahha, for past experience had with the Nigeria scammers.


But I prefer in Euros so I do not want the prize. Anyone here, feel free to collect it!

Terry Scott? There is only one Terry Scott and unfortunately he died in the '90s - therefore I think this may be some sort of cunning scam.

Meh, but what you got to lose?

Terry Scott - what a legend!

Foul language occasionally, nothing over the top vulgar though, just a warning if you dislike foul language or great trolling.
I love this site. People toying with Nigerian e-mail scammers, aka 419'ers.

The one with the guy who took his picture multiple times with bread on his head is a hoot.

Read some of this stuff, you will see how stupid these folks really are.
