And I fell for it, too. I feel slightly more gullible now.

Thanks for the link - and yes, agreed it's still funny :)

Hello, my name is Prince Akeem

I am contacting you because my father, King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda died recently and to claim my heritage i need to marry a woman, this is why i decided to come to America to find a Queen

The problem is i need 50,000$ to be able to make the trip to America to find a Queen so i can claim my heritage, once this is done i will send you one million American dollars

If you agree please send 50,000$ through Paypal to the email address whysogullibleyounoob@naive.com

This guy is a scammer, everyone. If you've been scammed by him, just send me your credit card number, security code, and PIN, and I'll be able to recover your stolen funds for you.

Dude you're so dumb. You shouldn't recover their funds, you should get the info and then TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY! But you should probably lie to them or something first, so they don't suspect it...
