Hello all (and Jon),

I received a PM with one of those Nigerian scam stories from username swily. Everyone be aware they are not real, best to just delete and ignore. The content is rather long, so I won't repaste it.

They need to get a REAL job!!!

Only good spam is fried with eggs, maybe some cheese.

I know, I totally fell for it, I gave her my account number in Switzerland, LOL
Yeah Right!

I got one as well from "swily", here's a C and P:

Dearest One,
With due respect I write you this mail hoping that you will lend ear to my
request. I got to your profile  in my search for a honest andtrustworthy person who will assist me as my father instructed before his death, and after days of prayers I decided to contact you.
First and foremost and brief self introduction, I am Seran
williams from Africa, 19years old and the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs Williams, I love music as well, am 5.8 feet tall. Infact as time goes
on you will know more about me.
My father was a highly reputable businessman who operated in
the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say
that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips
abroad year 12th.Feb. 2010.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. 
But God knows the truth!My mother died when I was just 11 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12 /2010 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of 19.5 million EURO(Nineteen million five hundred thousand deposited with BANK in West Africa.
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund,with the bank as her only daughter, as well as the next of kin to the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 19 years old and a high school leaving certificats
holder and really don't know what to do. Now I want an account overseas
where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of  crisis here in Ivory Coast. 
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Dearest one,i am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.Now permit me
to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as a friend?
2. Can I completely trust you? 
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your private telephone if you are willing to have the relevant documents to confirm the existence of the fund for verification from the bank and to confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy
communication. Once the fund transfer i will come over to your country.

Yours Sincerely.
Seran Williams.

Sad that some still fall for this BS.

This one is gone.

It is so heartbreaking to see the elderly falling for this and other scheme all the time, I see this weekly on the local news and some say they heard it happen to others but they say the message sounded so convincing.
