Every now and then I receive these emails, telling me that I have either won millions of dollars through some kind of internet lottery or someone dying old man has left millions of pounds on my name..blah blah blah. I really hate these kinds of emails and I would trash them off into my spam folder. But very recently, I start getting interesting emails. I thought, maybe I should try replying some of them and see what these guys have got to tell me. Let’s see a Nigerian Scam in action.

So guys, here is the email I got and the follow-up replies.

1st Mail (From Mr.Nigerian, Aug 4, 08):

Sir,

Good day.

I would have written this mail earlier than now but decided to wait
till my dream comes true. I am highly happy to inform you that I have at
last succeeded in getting the fund {$10M USD} paid through a Chinese
partner. As a matter of fact it cost a lot of money to have this success
achieved.

To the glory of God and shame to Satan. I cannot hide my appreciation
from you as regards to your little confidentiality towards the
successful conclusion of the transaction by that time because if not so the
whole transaction would have been exposed and I would have end up in jail
by now. May be it is the way God wanted it. So considering the
confidentiality you gave to the transaction then I cannot do without saying
thank you. On this note I today raised a Certified Bank Draft of Four
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only {$400,000} for you which my
secretary {Mrs. Grace Anyawu} will post to you. She has been detailed to
release it on your notice. Please kindly accept it as a token from me by
contacting Mrs. Grace Anyawu via her email:
mrs_graceanyawu_personal@mail15.com

Meanwhile, I will be traveling to Vietnam sugar processing machine
supervision tonight to be back on the 27TH of next month.

My regards to your family.

Mr. Livingstone Ikejiani.

Reply 1 (To Mr.Nigerian):

I replied some blah blah..asking about the detials….(real content is crap, lol)

Reply 2 (From Mr. Nigerian, Aug 5, 08):

Mr. Uttam Kumar,

Good day.

Frankly speaking my boss dropped your $400,000 Certified Bank Draft with me. I would have contacted you since yesterday only that I went to antenatal as I am expecting my 4th child soon.

Mr. Kumar, please you have to forward your home address and telephone number to enable me post the draft to you by tomorrow.

Remain blessed.

Mrs. Grace Anyawu.

Reply 3 (To Mr.Nigerian):

I again replied some blah blah.telling her I have gone bankrupt and I really need the money. I also sent her a fake address of mine.

Reply 4 (From Mr.Nigerian, 8 Aug, 08):

Mr. Uttam Kumar.
(My Address)

I write to inform you that I have gone to several post office here to post the Certified Bank Draft but all refused accepting it as they all said that they are prohibited in handling a legal tender via post .

As regards to the above, I went to the courier agencies arround only to be accepted by FedEx Courier. On this note I am required to settle a total fee of Ninety Five United States Dollars{$95} of which $75 is for deliverying charge and $20 according to officer I met with, will be used to settle a custom staff who will endorse his signatory on the parcel for certifiaction.

Mr.Kumar, I must be frank with you my boss gave me $10 equivalent in our local currency with the hope that the deliverying will be by post office. So I will require the sum of $85 from you to enable me send the draft to you by tomorrow through FedEx Courier since an officer has assured me of delivering it to you. Please send the money {$85} to me through Moneygram Transfer with the particulars of Mr. Cyprian Onumajuru to enable him pick it up since pregancy cannot allow me to go there early.

Mr. Cyprian Onumajuru.
7 Dim Street.
Apapa-Lagos.
Nigeria.

Use this Test Question and Answer.

Test Question .
What Pet.Answer. Dove.

Your Sincerly.
Mrs. Grace Anyawu.

Reply 5 (To Mr.Nigerian):

I replied I don’t have the money right now but if she has got some extra money, I can use it to send her what she was asking me…LOL

Maybe I’ll get more such replies and even more new similar emails. But know one thing, all these emails are just the same - SCAM.

I use to submit my blog articles to digg and other popular social boomarking websites but most of the time, my stories ended up with a couple of votes and with very little traffic from it. So, I started searching for some alternatives. I did find a few sites which are easier to get on the front page and here are some I use.

1. Blogsvine - a general digg like site for blogs. Very easy to get on the front page since it is new but worth the submissions.

Just now when I checked my site’s alexa ranking, I found that it has been decreased. I was a bit confused first but then, I saw the announcement button that was shown just below my Ranking Stats. You can read more about the announcement here.

In the words of Alexa Team:

We listened to your suggestions, and we believe that our new rankings system is much closer to what you asked for. We now aggregate data from multiple sources to give you a better indication of website popularity among the entire population of Internet users.

You gave us many other suggestions as well, and we are working hard to implement them. We won’t tell any secrets just yet, but you can expect to see new features rolled out over the coming weeks and months.

I personally think this is going to be a better ranking system as they have worked hard on many users’ feedback. What do you feel about the new alexa ranking system?.

Ok I posted a trailer of Prison Break season 3 episode 12 here. This was a trailer both for season 3 episode 12 and season 3 episode 13. I haven’t watch the latest episode yet but seems like this one, as it title “The Art Of The Deal” suggest, is the real deal.

Well, if you are looking for a long trailer before you actually watch the real episode, here you go.
