I get these things all the time. I thought this one was interesting because the sender said she got my address from this forum.

If I totaled up all the money I'm owed from these scams I could pay for the entire banking/real estate/auto manufacturer bail-outs!

I wonder how many people actually fall for these things?

What you do is open up a bank account and ask him to transfer a small amount of money to it to make sure everything works ok.That way you have the pleasure of robbing him if only for a small amount.And dont forget to send him a message that the police have been informed. ;D

Do you actually think you'd get a penny out of him before he got a check from you that had cleared?  I heard a woman who was an official from a bank in the states interviewed on this very letter, or one just like it.  She led "them" on for months and never got anything but bogus checks from them trying to suck them in.  It didn't work, they are masters of this scam and yes they do suck people in.  (not me  ;D  I'm not as dumb as I look, although I was asked today if I had used my "home brain surgery kit", when I showed up at my cronies coffee klatch with a large scab on my bald head from poking it inside the guts of my washing machine and coming into contact with several sharp edges.

It's rare, but it is possible to "reverse scam" these people - you just need to persuade them first...

Have a look at http://www.419eater.com for inspiration.
