Thanks for the info Feisty
Unfortunately there are countless other identical scams out there, although they use different names and details. The important thing is that you know it's a scam and by posting it here other people will too.

Yes, a complete scam, I know that contract number well, I have also posted that email on the Central Bank of Nigeria's advance fee fraud forum:

Now that I can sit back and really look at things, this is way to easy. How can otherwise intelligent people get caught up with these crazy people. I did and am amazed as I sit here today. Now, vengence is in the forefront and I am beginning to literally "play" with them. What fun!!!!!

Thank you for confirming what I already knew was a hoax. It makes me think I am finally wising up.

^^^When you say play, I sincerely hope that means that you've signed up at 419eater and got a mentor and are being totally safe. These are not nice people and you really don't want to mess around with them if you don't know what you are doing. If you haven't joined eater yet then you should definitely stop contacting the scammers immediately

That is my next step in the process. On to 419eater to register and then back here to request a mentor. How do I request a mentor? Any suggestions?

@ Fiesty, you get a scambaiting mentor at eater, not here, see the mentor topic, here:

Thank you. I am asking for one right now...just registered...and reading everything on the site that I may have missed. Thank you again.

Fiesty.
Don't take this the wrong way; it's advice.

But if you are playing with a scammer who you were in contact with recently, please stop immediately.

I will start from scratch. There are certainly new ones writing me all the time.

You will also need to set up a baiting account. Never bait from your personal email account. An email provider like GMail that doesn't reveal your IP address in the header is best. That way there is almost no chance the scammer can trace you. Remember these people are criminals who wouldn't think twice about killing if they were sufficiently provoked.

And of course provoking them into a killing rage is the best part of baiting.

Great advice. I think I need to change another portion of the forums so I answering this from general and hope it is correct. Thank you again for helping me out.

You will get all the help you need at 419Eater so if you have any questions specifically about baiting then I suggest you ask over there where you will get a warm welcome and plenty of friendly advice.

That is the reason I am here on this website I was doing a google search for my scammer and I was taken to many fraud websites and links . I am really scared since they have all my personal information...

I can sympathize...they have mine as well. The only consoling factor is now we can sit back and play with them a bit...make them squirm and get frustrated. What a wonderful thought that is. Hopefully they will be too far away and too lazy to do anything with the information they have. From now on...only fake information is coming from me.
