Dearest Friends,
This letter may come as surprise to you as I have not met me. But I am person with much troubles in this life. My father has gift me with US$10,000,000,000,000,000,000. An amount that I cannot spent in this life. Before he die today, he say to me that if I could find you to take this funds from me so I have no use for them. Where I'm live, we use much resources on land where our ansisters once used. I hope you will help me to take this funds for you and honor my dead father wishes. I have arrange for the FedEx delivery of this funds to you account - but I need to have your social security number, full name, address, account numbers, and full names of all of your children to complete transaction...Also include is the Acai Berry secret colonic cleanse as seen on your Oprah show!Is anyone else completely, totally, wholly, fully, and absolutely SICK of getting these? Jeebus man - it was once in a while now I get friggin' 3 or 4 a day...so you know what I did? I set up a fake email address, fake driver's license (complete with a picture of some dork I found on the Net) with the address to Wrigley Field in Chicago. My new name is Richard Taiter! I fabricated account numbers and proceeded to keep a few of these criminals busy with the old run-around. It took one a month before he/she finally gave up out of sheer frustration. He/she kept saying the account information I sent was wrong and he/she could not remove the US$2500 needed for the transaction fees...then they wanted me to fly to Nigeria so they could meet me at the airport and open the account with me! They said they would have a big cardboard sign reading "D1CK TAITER" at the gate! Of course i never showed up...G-d I hope they did and it was an incredible inconvenience for them.
Anyway, I've since stopped doing this because I have better things to do with my time.
What Internet/email scams REALLY boil your potatoes? What makes you cringe and want to set the sender on fire? Is it the As Seen on TV's Fast Track to 6 Figures a Week ad? Is it Oprah's Acai Berry Anal Cleanse? Is it the UK Lottery You've Been Selected to Collect? Come on you - step up to the dais and tell me what makes you hate...or, tell me a funny story of how you got even or better.

The most irritating emails for me are the ones promising to increase my --"size", which is interesting since I'm female. But it's the annoying mailed credit cards that have always irritated me. I've called them, and been told that to cancel these offers coming to me I have to give them my social security number. Yeah, sure, I fell for that. I calmly told them that my lawyer would be contacting them very soon about whether they did or didn't need that. They cancelled me.
Others did not. So, since they were kind enough to send me 'business reply envelopes' that were postage paid, I sent them back to them. Filled to bursting with various other things from the junk mail system, none of which had my name on it. Even if it needed postage, I just stuck it into the post office and sent it anyway. They got billed for it since my name was nowhere to be found. I got tired of constantly telling them I did not like credit cards. So I just got mean!

I don't have a thing about junk mail. I've worked for two companies that did direct mail. One was the type like Publishers Clearing house (more junk) and the other was charity like the Humane society (which I support). My main gripe is credit cards. With all the identity theft, and the fact that I kept telling them I did NOT want these 'free' offers, and they would just send more. I just plain loathe credit cards. I won't own one, although I've been told debit cards are credit. But I never spend money I don't have, and these were just an offense to me.

I believe everything I read and always respond to these types of emails which is why I am now a multi-billionaire living off a Nigerian's inheritance and several foreign Lottos, plus the Publisher's Clearinghouse. I like your idea of screwing these shysters around with a fake ID. What other better use of time is there than that? MyLot on, dude.
