The Nigerian '4-1-9' money scam

I have been getting various begging letters (known as the Nigerian "4-1-9" money scam). I've got so tired of them, I've decided to list them publicly. Here is a years worth, starting from May 28th 2002. I reply to none, though I have head of some people who have strung the hoaxers along for a while. If you are interested in this topic, read the register story on the subject.

After collecting them for so long, it's amusing how many are so formulayic - almost reduced to "mail-merge" document creation... in recognition of this, the following "conference" has been prepared: 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference

Someone also posted a spoof message to a friendly Land Rover mailing list
