There was also one about one of them traveling overseas and wantng to know where their money was as they were waiting for a response and after 2 months had not had one. I thought this was a discussion site, not a money demanding site!!

Yes, I got it too, I hate when peopoe send these type of b/s emails. I get enough of them through my regular emails so I dont need it from myLot.
I guess people enjoy doing this. I hope myLot will find out about them soon and take care of them.

I wonder how many naive people actually try to "help" them?

I love getting thes e-mails. They provide me with hours upon hours of fun. I have driven these people to threatening my life, my family, etc. I have gotten them to make several trips to MG and WU for money I never sent.
Oh they make life worth living sometimes.

Yes, I received this one. I didn't know "Benson" was a popular surname in the Ivory Coast, as I have many friends from the area. Anyway, I thought about responding (I don't believe any of the claims, of course) but then thought, why bother wasting my time?
