I suppose they only need to 'get' one person a week each to make a nice living from this.

Sometimes the ridiculous stories just happen to hit right. I recently read about the scam where they hack an email account and send messages claiming the sender is stranded abroad after being mugged. The details just happened to match in the case featured, and several people lost money sent to 'help'.

Replied by Scribes on topic I usually get emails regularly
I usually get emails regularly that say a rich man or businessman has just died and he has a huge amount of money in that particular bank. They cannot withdraw the money because of some problems so that's why they needed my help. They then instructed me to contact a certain person whose email and telephone number were indicated in the emails. Good thing I don't have the money to spend for the processing, otherwise I would have been scammed as what happened to a guy in the neighboring town whose father's retirement benefits went up in smoke. He was able to go to Argentina and was shown the papers but when he returned, he didn't heard from his contact since. His father's benefit that amounted to million in local currency just disappeared.
It's really sad. What I don't get is, if the Nigerians are so poor and destitute, why destroy other peoples' lives AND sabotage their own oil reserves with terrorism? That's what I don't get. Sometimes I think these people cry with a loaf of bread under their arms.

Thanks buddie!
They do the same thing over here scribes. This is why I am having a hard time enrolling my 11 year old in Paul Revere College Prep Middle School. I am so mad at how they cheat our school system, because my friend lives in Antioch, CA which is about 40 miles from San Francisco, she uses her sister address out here to keep her child in that school. I am so mad until I just want to go off and tell the truth, but I can not do that.
And it's really not a matter of race at all. It's a matter of income. If some of these major cities would get off their BUTTS and HELP the poorer, worn down places, we wouldn't have so much crime and punishment. God help me, I'm not racist. I'm income-ist.

Replied by Meya on topic Raised in the Bayview Hunter's
We struggled to get the house that we are in now and the landlord worked with us on the rent (she is a member of our church) so we basically pay her mortgage, but we have a house now and we are not as close to where we lived before. Are we out of danger? Heck no, they come flying down the block from us to get away from a shooting, we are on a trail to the nearest hide away where they can scatter. About 6 months ago, I couldn't get in my house because of a high speed chase that left gun fire and a deadly shooting. Why did it have to be 3 houses down from me? Ohhhhh lord, I can't wait till I get into the country (slower pace life).
Scribes I was raised in those same housing projects. I do not hide where I come from and is not ashamed of it, I know where I am headed and that is all that counts. I had my share of the ghetto life and I do not regret it, it sort of contributed who I am today. I turned a complete 360 on that life, but I still have my u-don't-wanna-mess-wit-me ways. Don't get me wrong, I still have my thug partners, you never know when you may need back-up. Heeeelp, I thought I was going to need them after I turned on my club members....lol.

If I received an email like that, I will fall out laughing because they will have to find a way in and out of my hood without being shot to death themselves.
You have a 'hood'?! Wow, you just get more and more attractive. I have a distinctive Mafia childhood myself. By that I mean, I was offered a job by a guy working for the Mafia to be his errand boy when I was 22. THANKFULLY a week later, I worked for computers. Wow, where my life could have been... Me, the Aluminum Don...lol. Turns out that guy was arrested about 6 months later for racketeering so I guess I made the right choice, yes?
