Has anyone ever got somthing like this in the mail, it came from France even though the Abady & Abady are in Spain. My brother got the same letter adressed to him. as well. Must be a good return for the scamers if they are prepared to pay postage from France.

at least its written in excellent english. i had a mate who's e-mail got hacked and they sent out e-mails from his account written in the worst english asking for money cause he was stuck in england.
-fully aware how dumb the scammers were i replied and asked them where to send the money, -i was astonished when they actually replied in terrible english again telling me to use western union. needless to say the return e-mail was slightly abusive and hopefully they understood all the words but gee i wish i could get 10 mins in a room with some1 who thinks i am dumber than a piece of dirt.

I have always wondered who is being scammed. I suspect that higher up the chain a master scammer scams the poor scammers into believing that this scam can scam some gullables out of easy money. All you have to do is invest into the scam pyramid and easy street is yours, but I suspect that it is the poor Nigerian scammer that has been scammed. I mean is there anybody who has had a telex machine, fax machine, email address or postal address who has not rec'd a Nigeria letter. Must be millions of scammers who have been scammed into believing that they will cut a share of the profit for a small investment into the scam. They have been scammed.

Third rule of life club: If it's too good to be true, it probably is a scam.
