I received this email this morning and luckily retrieved it from the junkmail before it was deleted forever - such a close call, to think I got so close to rejecting poor Darcy's cry for help. I do hope that everyone else on here will be as touched by Darcy's plight as I am and do their best to help out. C'mon people - Darcy needs you!

Dear Friend, As you read this, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me,because, I believe everyone will die someday.My name is Darcy , am British. I have been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I wasalways hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, so I have decided to give to charity organisations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.I had distributed money to some charity organisations.Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organisations but they refused and kept the money to themselves.The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen million dollars that I have with a finance/security company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organisations.You can reach me at: +44-7011148455 my mail : onl1life2live@mixmail.com I have set aside 10% for youand for your time. God be with you. Darcy

.....and God be with you, dear Darcy....
 
I particularly like the idea that its "defiled all known medical treatment", and yes Darcy, I've got news for you I too "believe that everyone will die one day" - just trust me on this one ;) it will happen I promise.

You'd have thought that since he's passing himself off as a successful business person he'd have least tried to adopt a more professional approach to the use of language wouldn't you? It seems like he's adopted the usual refugee/ politically persecutored pitch without adapting it for his new persona.

I agree, one for Gearoid
 
Yes, it's well known that Krizon scammed me not so long ago pretending to be a Russian beauty and I'm still paying of the debt.

More seriously, people have lost their life savings before now, and a few have lost their lifes' when going over to Lagos to try and confront the scammers etc. I'm sure if you put the words Nigeria 409 (or what ever number it is in their penal code 446?) or Nigeria scam letters into Google you'll find a whole host of such stories, should you wish to see the nasty end of this business. It's somethign that the FBI is taking seriously now, as I seem to think they have their own department for it
 
I wouldn't mind helping to defile him a bit further along the road to oblivion - quite a terrible scenario, Warbler, if people really have gone to Nigeria and been killed. I'm going to Google that code and see what happens.

Oh, and may I remind you, you're behind with the last three months' payments for my stay at The Dorchester, Warblerski? Thank you, tovaritch!

Oh, yes, that brought up loads of sites mentioning a delicious variety of scams, which had tooled Americans out of $8 BILLION to date! Phil's blog is very funny, by the way - he has a really good handle on insulting them and exposing them. Also an IT forum, TechRepublic - hilarious, so long as you're not so dim as to be conned by them, that is.
