I got two of these URGENT REQUEST e-mails in two days. They go into some long story about all this money that is tied up from the death of their dignitary relative in some obscure country and they will share it if you help them get it out.

Also a few weeks ago I listed a couple expedition rear ends for sale and got three Nigerian scam offers in three days on those.

I think they surf our sight looking for marks. They probably got my e-mail address from my profile

Any of you other guys get these offers?

I have only been on the net for less than 2 years. I spent alot of time at FTE last year and a couple other forums that are smaller. I never got these offers until after I got on here, but as big as this site is I suppose it is a good harvesting ground for names. But I still can't think those dumbshits could find one of us to bite.
I get the ebay scammers almost weekly and now the occasional paypal one too.
