Recently received a PhotoSig e-mail from "spammer'ssweetbaby?Faith". Seems that Faith fell in love with me based on my PhotoSig user name. Poor Faith lives in Nigeria and is feeling the heat from the authorities. Needs money to move to Iran where there is more freedom to spam. She called me "dear" and offered to send photos of herself (nudge, nudge)! Should I give up my life of luxury here, invest in some Viagra and tour the world with Faith? Naah! If anyone else is interested, I'm sure Faith would fall in love with you too!

tried to let sheenawilkie know about this earlier. See seemed to think they had sorted it out.. Well seems they have not. DID she email images whats she like at being an assistant and holding the tripod. Might be able to put her to use after all haha.

AAaaahhhhhh the internet age :)

No images! I'll bet it's a professional spammer who sends Playboy Magazine photos. He's probably from Nigeria, yet Nigeria has the toughest laws on internet fraud.

just thought you'd like to know. I'm booked on a 7:30am flight to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to meet my lovely Faith. She assured me if I would simply help her with transportation and lodging costs up front, she will be waiting inside the terminal and we can then go off and explore the area together and experience all that life and AMEX has to offer.

*I'm so excited!!!*

You're a better man than me, Dogothunder and you probably don't need Viagra. I'm sure Faith will be enchanted.

You did let me know and I told you it had already been taken care of and it was. When you see the word spammer in the user name you can rest assured we have kicked their lame ass and terminated their account.

I became friends with a Nigerian scammer after he tried to scam me out of my D200 (and almost did). It was interesting to hear his whole backstory, and how the whole industry works (in terms of scamming electronics). I am in touch with him periodically. My work might take me to Nigeria later on this summer - I might look him up!
