    Same old, same old, scams

    Just wondering......

    Francois (below) is only offering a 60/40 split - I would have thought that 50/50 would be fairer

    Are these dudes getting tighter with their funding ?

    I don't think I should "details" him with all my identity info without him giving me his, even if my "account risk is 100% free" (whatever that means).

    Still, I guess it is nice to be called "Dear"

    oops - I've just noticed that I haven't kept it confidential - oh well there goes $6m



    Hello Dear

    Let me introduce myself to you friend, I work in the bank in Burkina Faso. my names are Mr.Francois Ouedraogo , I get your contact from internet search i hope that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that am about to repose in you for the benefit of our both families, i am in need of your help as a foreigner to transfer sum of ($15million U.S dollars, Fifteen million U.S dollars) into your account risk is completely %100 free.

    Please I will like you to keep this proposal as top secret and Also note that you will have 40% of the above mentioned fund, while 60% will be for me.if you agree to transact this business with me I will give you full details of this transaction immediately you notify me your interest by sending your data.

    Only 40 per cent? That's not enough. Demand 60%.

    I had a call yesterday telling me that I had a serious problem with Windows that he needed to fix.

    I was quite disappointed at how easily he gave up when I told him that I use Linux rather than Windows as my operating system.

    I expected a bit more persistence. How is he ever going to con people if he gives up that easily?

    I think next time I get that call I will try a different approach to ensure that he makes a bit more of an effort. I will tell him that if he explains to me exactly what he thinks he problem is and how he detected it, that in return I will tell him why everything he says is impossible.

    Hi,
    I got a good circular argument when I enquired which Windows computer of 5 would it be.
    Surely if he knew one was infected it would be identifiable.

    After about 10 minuets he cracked, and spilt a mouthful of profanities.

    GOT HIM!

    Cheers
