Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

I received an E-Mail about an hour ago from a (fictional) lady over in Africa. She stated that if I want $2.5 million for my charitable organization then all I need to do is to contact her via a reply to her E-Mail and then she will in turn give me the essentials to contact the Bank in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire in West Africa.

If you believe that then I’ve got the cool sum of 475 million East African Shillings that I’ll be awarding to the 108TH caller at 1-866-U-R-SHAMMED.

The sad part of it all is that the E-Mail will receive thousands of responses worldwide from unsuspecting people who just want to get rich quick, but they will end up losing whatever money they spend in an attempt to get the money that doesn’t exist.
