Spaß mit der Nigeria- Connection

[Eintopf]

Huhu!Wer kennt nicht die zahllosen Spammails, wo der unbedarfte Empfänger angeblich behilflich sein soll, ein Millionenvermögen außer Landes zu schmuggeln, um ihn dann schonmal "Bestechungsgelder" abzuknöpfen?Ein Brite hat jetzt festgestellt, daß diese Nachrichten zu schade zum löschen sind. Fordert man die Empfänger nämlich zu irgendwelchem Blödsinn auf (z. B. ein Toastbrot auf dem Kopf zu balancieren ) kann man durchaus noch einigen Spaß daran haben. Scambaiting nennt sich der Sport: http://www.419eater.com/ Schaut mal unter: "The trophy room" beste Grüße,Peter (der gleich mal seinen Posteingang nach Brauchbarem durchforstet)

Die nachfolgende email sollte man an alle Absender von Spam schicken (insbesondere der Nigerian Connection), am besten mehrfach:Dear …..I hope this finds you in good spirits, that the test results came back negative, and that you're not still avoiding your in-laws over that booger that was dangling out of your nose at the last family get-together. Whatever. But enough about you, let's move on to me. Personally, I have the runs today (some bad chicken tikka last night) but hey, shit happens. However, don't let this distract you from the once-in-a-lifetime offer that I am about to make you. My name is General George S Patton, and I am Junior Vice-Executive Administrative Accounting Assistant at the Department of Nucular Weapons here in New York City. You have probably heard of my ex-boss, Colin Powell. See cnn.com for proof that I am who I say I am.I say 'ex-boss' because (as you may have heard) Mr Powell has resigned, leaving our office in some disarray. As you may know, our job is to supply terrorist regimes around the world with weapons, even if we say we don't. See rense.com or whatreallyhappened.com for proof that I'd never lie to you. Well, this is where we can do business. Recently, we invaded Iraq and deposed its leader, Saddam Hussein (see bbc.co.uk for proof). But - Mr Powell never stopped the shipments of weapons. It was my job to post the parcels to Mr Hussein. But, as there was no longer a valid postal address, I kept them instead in the basement of my apartment.I must stress that the internal bookkeeping is all in order. As far as the Department is concerned, the weapons are all in Iraq and in Mr Hussein's possession. Noone will suspect a thing. My problem is that I cannot hand in the weapons to my superiors, as that would be the law-abiding and logical thing to do. However, your name was recommended to me by a very high-ranking official in your embassy in America, who assured me that you seemed like just the sort of gullible cretin who'd fall for shit like this. Here is what I can offer you along with prices which, I'm sure you'll agree, can never be repeated:10 (ten) ICBM nucular missiles, serial numbers 0800-55550 through 0800-55559. $15,000 ea or $100,000 for all ten (includes special discount voucher for future purchases).500 (five hundred) barrels of Sarin gas. $3,999 or what-have-you.300 (three hundred) canisters of mustard gas. 100 are 'mild', 100 are 'spicy' and 100 have those small seeds in that stick in your teeth. $1,995 per flavour or $5,599 for all three. 1 (one) balsa wood hobby plane. 21 foot wing span, dual weed whacker engines. Range of approximately 10,000 miles, has secret wing compartments for chemical missiles. $599 or to swap for home theatre system in good working order.1 (one) dark brown moustache (fake). I'll throw this in for free if you buy any two other items.1 (one) red pill and 1 (one) blue pill. Not sure what these do, to be honest. $10 for both.In addition to the above items, I also have in my possession some 'experimental' items that Mr Hussein ordered:5 (five) canisters of 'Butz-4-All' aphrodisiac gas. Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss a man in uniform cradling you in his loving arms, moaning your name in ecstasy as he clasps his sweaty hairy thighs around your midriff? Rest assured, you are special. And these bad boys will make sure that every uniformed troop in a radius of ten miles thinks so too. $199 each (ex VAT)6 (six) bottles of 'Deth Breth' halitosis gas. The perfect gag for weddings, parties, board meetings, karaoke evenings and UN plenary sessions. Drop one of these babies, and watch your stunned guests' or colleagues' reaction! Warning: only affects terrorists. $99.99 ea.12 (one dozen) tins of 'Ratz-A-Tractz' pest attractant. Having been shown pictures of your house by your embassy representative, I see that you are already a regular user of this product. Just tell me what price you paid to your existing supplier, and I'll beat it!I sense that we can do business, God willing. But I need you to send me something first, to prove your good faith in this matter. What I require is:* A short paragraph (no more than 50 words) telling us why Department of Nucular Weapons products are your favourites * 3 barcodes off any McDonald's products (photocopies not acceptable)* A dry-cleaning tag off any item of clothing owned by a member of WestlifeOnce you have forwarded these items to me, I will be in contact again, to give you my Swiss bank account number and the launch codes for the nukes. Until then, may God continue to nestle you in his armpit, and may the acquisition of new soft skills hasten your personal development. However, I must urge haste in this matter. One of the Sarin barrels in my basement is leaking, and the neighbours are starting to complain about the smell. I know I can trust you to do the right thing.Your spiritual brother………………………Zoe
