Anyway when my wife was not yet my wife and she was staying with me in England, she used to get hundreds of them almost all the time. I always tried to get her to reply to one of them and ask the scammer for a photo and some credentials. I mean really who's gonna believe that a Nigerian prince is going to give them $2,000,000,000 in exchange for $10,000 kinda stupid really?
I do however keep getting e-mails from random women with names like "Joyce Beetroot" and "Randi Hymen" (yup you seen it right RANDI HYMEN), and all they are titled is things like "hi" and "what's up". As if anyone will reply to an e-mail like that?
I would call you a cheeky bastard.....but alas you are kinda right. I have NO money :D
It's payday today, from 3 jobs, and I have $23 in my pocket $13.35 in the bank after bills out of about $400 (however none of the bills were fucking mine). It appears when I married my wife I married her fucking student loans, her cell phone bill, and fuck knows what else she gets ripped off for as well, the cunt.

This may be different depending on the state you live in but some states have it so that the bills/debt you start together, once you are married, becomes your joint responsibility, and whatever you had separately previously is each other's problem ... you might want to check it to see if this is the case with you or not. If you have "inherited" half her debt ... ouch!
With the lack of cash I have at the min I'll cut it off before I use it for it's natural purpose. I'm not having kids til' my wife understands that they're not gonna get everything they want just because they want it!!!
I'll send the little fuckers to school with potato sack T-Shirts and plastic bags on their fuckin' feet never mind this $119 K-swiss for kids that can't even walk yet, or $40 Ralph Lauren T-shirts for toddlers up yer fuckin' cockhole mate! That's what I say to trendy shit for kids, bollocks not once, not twice, but thrice with a fuckin' cherry on top!

BTW ... unless you are living the life of luxury, clams and cocktails etc ... if you divorce and one person "demands" spousal support, half of everything then it will not be granted unless the two have been married at least ten years OR if the "quality of living" has been significantly improved by the spouse with the higher income.
I.e. the other half really has no legal way of getting what is legally the other person's UNLESS the two have been married ten years or longer OR if the other person's support drops significantly down by the other person leaving ... i.e.2 If one person is a millionaire and the other person never works but gets "allowance" for some time then that person can legally "ask" to maintain that after the divorce. This may be different depending on your state ... plus if there are children involved ... and if there was a prenup ... etc, etc. Welcome to USA.
Erm ... I think I digress a bit ... in your case you should consider looking into it if it's true that her previous debt affects you and in particular YOUR CREDIT SCORE (which I'm guessing is near non-existent seeing as you've lived here for such a short while but there is no need for it to start lower than it should be). But helping her out with paying her debt down is a different story and altogether between the two of you (i.e. you better help her out you skinty flinty you ;-) )
I agree about the shoes and clothes ... it's silly to buy a 100$ brand name shoe which the little toddler isn't going to fit come three weeks time.
just got my first nigerian bank scam email, i feel so in touch with modern culture.
Tsss, I had my first one when I was 14! :D
I'm planning to do a small Scambait once I recieve my next one...I haven't recieved any 419-mails though, only 6 spammails on penis enlargers per day...
This website is worth seeing :)
There's nothing like a good old virtual adrenaline :D
I just don't get why these scammers have to go SO FAR over the top with all this religious bollocks.
I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life.
I'm sure they must have lost many potential victims that way. People might be very devout in Nigeria, I don't know. But it's just not the way we do things in the west. They deserve to fail miserably if they are too lazy to research the culture of the west.
I just don't get why these scammers have to go SO FAR over the top with all this religious bollocks.
I suppose their theory is, rightly or wrongly, that the people who do go in for over-the-top religious bollocks are the ones most likely to be a) more charitable, or b) more likely to shut off their critical thinking circuits at the sight of a paragraph of babble containing the word God. ("ooh, it says he's a devout Christian... he can't possibly be trying to scam me then.")
Just got Number 4 this week....

Ah now, that initial-letter-capitalisation thing is one of those things on the internet I've never understood. All-caps and all-lower I can understand, but Typing Everything Like This is actually more effort than capitalising things correctly, surely? For a while I suspected that someone like AOL had a moron filter that auto-corrected all-caps text to that format, but no, it's not done consistently enough to be explained away like that.
The most irritating thing is that it prompts me to mentally read it in the style of Murray Walker. It's! Lap! Fourty! Seven! And! Schumacher! Is! Coming! In! For! A! Pit! Stop!

I was speaking to one once under the name Jimmy Krankie. Even got him to say 'fan dabby dozee' to me.
The story here is quite an amusing one...

Well that explains why I suddenly started getting more. I've had them in the past but few and far between..then 3 in a week.
I joined the Timex Sinclair YAHOO group last week...so maybe its related.
