    Well I guess I should have just kept it to myself lol. I just found it interesting since I had my email account for 8 months and this is the first spam I have ever gotten.

    if you use craigslist, you will eventually get spammed to death.

    Some asshole set up a fake part time job that I applied to and turned out to be one of these scams, except he actually wanted me to step foot in a walmart of all places, I'd rather go to a hell filled with shit than step in a walmart.

    Thats what so surprising, only my friends and dev know this email. I almost did take it seriously:p But your probably right, I could have gave it away at some point (or my friends). Hopefully there won't be a flow of spam.

    What the hell are you talking about? This is no spam. Are you trying to knock down an opportunity to get 2 million dollars :eek:
    Just think of what you can do with 2 mil. You can TOFTT every game ever released in appstore without worrying about the price. Now what else could you ever ask for in your life :rolleyes:
    I`d say definitely reply to him and follow his instruction even if it asks you to bend over ;)

    you sir, are dumb.

    No wonder you were so obsessed with my signature for so long, your brain must get stuck in loops a lot.

    So should bend over first or wait for him to give the signal?

    I've seen better variations of it. My favorite is Nigerian royalty after being overthrown, escaping the country.

    What are you smoking this isn't spam. Why would you not help out a guy's wife and get a couple mil in the process?

    I've had genuine spam email from a guy claiming to be a scientist from the future... after the world has been almost totally destroyed by nuclear war. Apparently he found a way to email the past and if I can help him transfer a few billion dollars to his brother in Nigeria (tech capital of the universe), there may be a chance we can prevent the forthcoming apocalypse.

    The best thing about it was that it was totally genuine, I guess they were just hoping it'd reach someone crazy enough to believe it. I didn't keep it, but sometimes I wish I had cause it's really pretty good.
