    Sometimes they slip through the cracks. This site does a good job of getting rid of them before they become a nuisance.

    No, I didn't take the bait. $2.5 million would sure buy a lot of cool stuff and pay off everything I have. It was a hard one to pass up. (not really)

    I am shocked that there are people still out there trying to scam others, thinking we will fall for their scheme.
    Sad thing is there are people who do go along with them and lose their savings.

    WOW!!! I just won the Nigerian lottery again!
    I can't find my ticket (don't remember buying a ticket), but rest assured they have me on file, and as soon as they finish processing my account information they will deposit my winning!
    How lucky am I!!!! And to think just last week I won also, they have assured me that the money removed from my account is just temporary and due to processing to assure the winnings go to the correct account. Now I've won again!!!!!!! I'm buying another Lamborgini!!!

    In the last 15 or 20 years I think I've won every foreign lottery known to man. I keep telling them to send all winnings to me, but I never hear from them again. I must be doing something wrong.

    Nigerian lottery?

    Chump change. You should see the commission I'm being offered just to help foreign millionaires bypass their sovereign tax code.

    I out smarted them and asked for written verification, which they quickly provided me via email. Then all you have to do is send them back your account numbers to allow direct deposit, they will temporarily remove all the money in your account to allow processing. once the processing is complete they will re-deposit your money with the winnings. It's all up and up, they assured me so, but just in case I checked to see what the delay is, they must be really busy cause I'm still waiting???

    Wow, I just got an answer back from them! Seems there was a redirect due to taxes, and they will re-process as soon as I get some more money in my account.
    SEE! Told you it was legit....

    Wow, Congrats!!!! I've won it numerous times, but sadly I'm still waiting for them to make a payment to me! I've also had numerous "Lawyers" from overseas tell me they have money for me that came from the spoils of every war that has happened in their country....yep, still waiting for that too!
    I thought I knew a lot, until I had teenagers!

    This is a favorite money-raising scam in Nigeria. I'm told that there are cyber cafes all over the country filled with people on computers. I'm also told that the Nigerian government allows it because it brings money into the treasury through taxes.
