Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
I'm no bothered because Mrs. Dr. Miriam Acaba wants me to share in a £35 million windfall just by using my bank!

I once got as far as getting a mis-spelled certificate showing I had 20 million dollars waiting at the Bank Of Amsterdam. It was at this point, after a few weeks of emails, that I expressed my disappointment with the good Reverend from Lagos that he was asking me for money..

I keep getting them spoofed from "Third American Bank" warning me to check my account details.
I don't, and have never had, an account at any US-based bank. Go figure.
As to the paypal / ebay spoof e-mails; the simple thing is never to click on a link in the e-mail (even with ones you know are genuinely from paypal or ebay) -- just log in as normal and check if they've sent you any messages.
I always forward suspicious ones to spoof@paypal.com or spoof@ebay.com -- it can't hurt to let the ebay / paypal people know.

Funny. I checked my Inbox just now and found a message from someone at the Bank of Nigeria or something asking me to take on the account of someone who'd died in a plane crash. They couldn't find the next of kin so hey, of all those millions of people they chose me.

It wasn't by any chance from Mrs. Dr. Miriam Acaba, if so the bitch is two timing us!

I think it was. And I was told that I'd been specially selected.

From, Dr. bacon evans,
Retired/Former Financial controller,

Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
ATTN:
I have interest of investing in your country as such I decided to establish
contact with you for assistance as soon as I am able to transfer my funds
for this investment, which is already with a security company in Europe.
There are two basic things i would want you to assist me in;
(1) Helping by traveling to europe as a front collect these funds from the
security company in Europe.
This is because of my inability to travel out of the country which i am
taking refuge at the moment with my wife and children which i will explain
better to you upon the receipt of your acceptance.
(2)Helping me to carry out feasibility study on areas/choice of investment
you deem best for me.I
retired as financial consultant and was the last personal financial adviser
to the ex- head of state
before his demise and have no intention of carrying out any further
investment programme in my country for security reasons.
Enclosing your telephone and fax numbers.
Thanks,
Yours sincerely,
