Take up his time. Have fun. Post it here.

 

agreed, let us all play .............

 

Just remember, it's possible that Eric Okenwa Chambers is a nice guy who got targeted and his computers being used without his knowledge to send out spam/scam emails.

 

Or he's a crack whore.

 

Here is what I've gotten so far. Anyone want to change the name in the e-mails, post to Mr. Eric & waste a bunch of his time?

Since he's mentioning a MACK LAFLEUR......you should make some sort of references to GUY LAFLEUR the famous Canadian NHL player who used to be with the Montreal Canadians.

You could have some fun with that.....

Does anyone know something about an e-mail in circulation warning about calling a phone number that has an area code of 809 or 806 (can;t remember which it was) that supposedly will charge your phone bill like $2,500.00, or some crazy amount, if you call the number?

Eric has an "806" area code...........

 

Go here for info and much hilarity:

Dang. It sounds like there is nothing more to do with this idiot than to "toy" with him like a cat playing with a mouse that faces certain death. I was hoping to scam HIM somehow, wreck his operation, or at least turn him in to some authorities. Just hitting the "Delete" buttom is boring, but I really do have more worthwhile things to do with my time.

Don't call any number.

If you do, you will have no record of the anti-scam, what fun would that be?

Tell him you are deaf and that you need to do the whole thing by e-mail, so you can post it all here.

Try to get a picture of him holding a sign.

 

"Try to get a picture of him holding a sign."

I AGREE TOTALLY WITH UROTRASH AS WE BOTH HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE

LET THE SIGN SAY " FCHAT ROCKS"

TELL HIM YOU NEED THAT FOR YOUR BANK ID CODE....

Fully acknowledging that P.T. Barnum was correct when he said "There's a sucker born every minute!", I am still perplexed that these Nigerian Scams are still around, in light of the information age we live in and how rapidly awareness of such scams have disseminated.

The first time I saw one of these efforts, I was midly amused, but after dozens of exposure I became irritated and insulted, and now I just report them all as spam and delete them.

I can't wait for the United Nations to control the internet; I am confident that all these scams will stop under the great Secretary's leadership!

 

dateline did a piece on the nigerian scammers and the reporter was actually able to meet the people in person (the scammer said he was a UN delegate but actually lived in the projects). They turned out to be idiots because the guy who met the reporter was not familiar with what had transpired via email. So when the reporter would mention things from the emial the guy would look dumbfounded. It turned out it was a team of people and they were scouting the meeting place, but the dateline crew had them under surveillance. It was pretty entertaining.

 

I got a letter like this once. I wrote to the scammer and told him that forget being a distant namesake, I was actually the guy in the car crash, it was a near-death experience but now I was o.k. and while the blow to my head had briefly addled my brain I now remembered my Nigerian bank account and wanted to empty it. I also told him that I didn’t remember appointing him as my attorney and if he didn’t sharpen up and send the funds I would can his ass and have him disbarred.

You know, he never got back to me......

 

What's up George,

I don't know about 809, but 806 is Lubbock TX and the surrounding areas.

Post the next three digits and I'll tell you if it's a legit # in the Lubbock area.

 

And why are they always Nigerians? At least the Somalians are trying something different, like hi-jacking cruise ships.

 

This nigerian bullsh** is played out like the sopranos....

 

my direct line: 234 806-431-2938

His phone number. I guess that "234" is an international country code

 

I think it's time we send the Marines into Nigeria!

 

Yup.
