    This is a pretty good explanation of what's going on with all these Nigerian bankers trying to help us Americans out:

    Dude how do you think I got so rich? That's right by letting anonymous people deposit millions in my bank account.

    *************
    M*W: I get 4-5 of the each day! I also found out that some popular websites like monster.com lists fake jobs from these scammers, so they can get more email addresses from unsuspecting viewers.

    I got one recently that originated from Iraq, and I forwarded to the FBI. It showed USDollars that had been photographed, which is a felony in the USA. I never heard back from the FBI, but that one really pissed me off!

    There's a website about email fraud. Can't think of the address right now, but it's pretty comprehensive and should be easy enough to find under 'email fraud.'

    I've gotten pretty tacky and politically incorrect when I replied to a couple of them. I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU TO DO THIS. IT PROBABLY ONLY CAUSES YOU TO GET MORE OF THEM.

    It's pretty obvious that most of them come from Africa. Now the trend is getting emails from England regarding arts and crafts dealings, but their names are always of African origin. Makes me sick.

    As long as there are gullible people out there, there will be shysters taking advantage of them. Just remember... there is no such thing as a free lunch. If there were, it would probably give you food poisoning. Stay clear!

    Yes.
    I think that's how the saying goes.

    Hey, speaking of getting rich, I've got a great deal for you (just you, though, don't leak it to anyone else)...
    Nah, never mind, I don't think you're cut out for it - you don't have what it takes.

    Raven Yes, it is illegal to make any unauthorized image of currency (ooh! can you say 'graven images'?

    ). It's not commonly enforced, though. If you go back and look at old films, the money is often obviously fake. Sometime in the 70's, I think, they started using real money, or really good copies. It's a technicality of anti-counterfeiting laws. They'd have to be pretty bored to arrest someone who copied a dollar bill as part of a joke. (Of course, if he tried to pass it off as real, that's another story.)
