The biggest scam going has got to be the X factor, oh yes I went there XD
Hahaha nice you should use whatever Lady GaGa uses...Firia said:Worst scam?
"xtend ur rod by 5 inchs!"
to which I thought,
"so that'll give me a 5 inch 'rod.'"
And no matter how much of this product I take, nothing!
(I'm kidding of course.Every Penis enlargment ad is an instant fail on all levels.)
I'd be more convinced if they were trying to scam you into the twelve chocolate bars worth 200 pounds. But i don't fall for these things, You get a message from a stranger, the stranger's strange words are rather obscure, making no sense, yet telling your name wrong, 'n then they try'n sell you something. I'd kneecap the people that make these spambots.Calapidgeon Superman said:
Everytime I get one of those "A billionaire has died and left you his fortune and we can give it to you if you send us some money first" e-mails, I always e-mail back saying something along the lines of "Oh, I am sorry to hear about that man's death, but I'm afraid I've never heard the name [insert name here]. I think you've got the wrong person. I'm sorry about that and I wish you the very best of luck in your search. ".

Well thats just great I was all set to apply to be a doctor and now you say my degree is fake? XDUNKNOWNINCOGNITO said:
Hah, that's great. If anyone (excluding old or retarded people) falls for that, I'd be amazed that they somehow were able to make a living, instead of eating boulders for dinner and wearing boulder-hats (yes I know I stole that from ZP, it's just an awesome lineTheMatt said:
).On my old email I got quite a lot of junk like "BUY MEDICINE FREE FOR $89" and "pEn1S ENLARGEMENT DRUGS"... useful thanks. When the email service started spamming me even more than things like that, it was time to switch email.
Haven't had any scam attempts that I know of, since I don't even look at the suspicious ones.
I just looked it up. Uganda don't even use dollars. They use Ugandan shillings. 800,000 shillings = $430 USD and £256 GBP.
EDIT: Yep, I'm slow. Just noticed someone said this already.

My favorite was the everpresent Nigerian Prince Scam.
I guess my family is a little more worldly than I originally thought. "A distant relative of mine had served a Sultan of Nigeria so well that when they both died, the Sultan left a large inheritance for my 'long lost relative,' who then decided to gift it to me." Anyone with ANY knowledge of my family would know that myself, and perhaps one or two of my cousins have actually been outside of the state we grew up in

i got an EMAIL with the face of a girl in myspace saying "honey add me to your messenger"
so i did, and she was there and told me
"hi there, just wanted to tell you that i´m starting my web cam show, so you could come and see me, i will upgrade your subscription to "gold" click here"
i copyed the link and looked at it in a web screener, it was safe, so i went to the page and there she was
but i needed to put my account info to see her show

I was looking for cheap rental space on craige's list.
Some of the people I ran into...
*shiver*
"we will mail the key to you after you money transfer the money to us."
When this was met with skepticism, they went into less scrupulous realms.
"As a christian I believe that [insert bible verse here] so you can take my word."
>.>'
I don't like religion sneaking into my business transactions. The conversation went downhill from there.

Discount breast enlargement, I used to get loads of e-mails about cheap breast enlargement when I was at school.
No thanks I'm trying to lose my man boobs.
I'm not sure if this was a scam or something a friend sent to me after seeing me change for P.E. as a joke, he never took credit for it and I think he's the sort that would if it was him.

'Security update from Alliance + Leicester' (a bank). When I see that as the subject title I either delete it or report it as phishing straight away. I am not with Alliance and Leicester. I have never been with Alliance and Leicester. Nobody in my family....you can see where this is going.
Also got an email saying I'd won, or had a chance to win a hairdryer in a competition. Might have been completely legit, but the fact I'm a guy that quite regularly gets a two all over at the barbers, means there's no point in me owning a hairdryer.

I fell for an MSN one once (wait for the rest before you label me an R-tard).
It was one of those where they sign your friends in, link a site and then logout straight away. The difference this time was that I'd just been talking to my friend, he signed out mid-way and then this thing signed him straight back in. It just gave me a link and said "LOL this guy looks like you" or something like that, and it was just using a black font like my friend had been.
So I clicked, then it hit me. Luckily they're dead easy to get rid of in a normal virus scan.

Or something. It was this bad, even if these aren't the exact random codes they used in generating their website and character names.
EDIT: Just remembered the huge numbers of Skype spam invites I get from accounts like Stacey.Wet and Candice.Horny
