Your best bet is to delete the message. Don't even talk to them.

That's just it. I replied before I knew what it was. Then I smacked myself in the face, because I did something so stupid. I am going to reverse scam him though. Instead of my phone number, I'll give him a pay phone, instead of my home address, a P.O. box (and so on)

I will make his life so miserable yet act like I am cooperating and at the same time I will be filing my report to the fraud department of the FBI.

SALES.
MY COUNTRY IS A MEMBER OF O P E C AND GOING BY OPEC
REGULATIONS NO COUNTRY IS ALLOWED TO OVER PRODUCE OR
PRODUCE OVER(MORE THAN) IT'S DAILY QUOTA/ALLOCATION BUT
WHAT HAPPENS IN ALL THE COUNTRIES IS THAT THEY OVER PRODUCE

All I wanna know is, how he got my name!!!


Dear Brandon, I thank you immensely for your swift reponse to my first email to you.Anyway you do ont understand the magnitude of this transfer and that is why you were so carefree in writng to me that you will do this at a later time.

I contact you simply because i had about your person and had an impulse that we will both made good transaction so do not be deceived by any though.

In the meanwhile i will need the following infomation from you.





For now,
I will need you to provide me the following.
1.Your telephone and fax numbers.
2. your International Passport or international drivers License.
3.Your house address or mailing address .
4.Company name and address if any.
5.Age and sex.
I will wait to hear from you.
Sincerely

Dominic Segun.



You may also want to reach me on my confidential telephone number on 234-8037172794.

234 is the international code.



My response:

I am interested in this, as anyone would be, but I am still skeptical. Before I give all of this information away, I need some from you:

Location
Company Info/Background
Past Business Transactions
etc.

You can buy email addresses and contact information. Spammers buy email addresses all the time.

no he wont... they stop responding to people who are not stupid enough to just blindly send personal info to them. That email address will become invalid soon, and that number disconnected.

I hate spam, Junk Mail Filters are a god send.
