Just got this email:

Please contact me for more information if this interests you.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

[DRHuff]

Martial Douti? Isn’t he the cousin of Nigerian prince Buchi Olawale? Go for it! Those guys are connected!

If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

[RickZeeland]

Maybe he can teach you something about martial arts too! :-\

Just keep replying "Ok." This is what happens when you reply to spam email | James Veitch - YouTube[^]

I use Gmail exclusively for my personal email, and I have never received this type of email before. I have heard of this and read about them many times on this site and other place, but never received one using Gmail. Just an observation. Anyhow, its funny that this kind of email scam is still being pursued. I wonder how one gets on their "mailing list". Take the money and run!! Take The Money And Run - YouTube[^]

I read somewhere that these scams are deliberately full of red flags in order to weed out people that can see through the BS - they'd rather not waste their time with them so they're casting a huge net with deliberate dumbstupid to try and rope in only the most gullible saps they can find. It's actually sort of devious.

OK, This is legit. I will handle your claim for you. You may just have to pay me $20000 up front to handle expenses. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I should have saved it, but I actually got one of these in snail mail (US Postal Service).

I know a couple of guys who call themselves Rich, but actually, Dick is a much more common form. I guess those Richs I know don't want to be associated with other meanings of 'dick'.

[jschell]

Wow. Considering they have to pay actual money for that I wonder where it came from.
