The Nigerian scam hits NPN?

I got this email today and to me it seems like a scam. All the great spelling and grammar you find in the Nigerian scams. It does promise $500 and even "noticeable fame" though . Seems like a fishing expedition to find someone who works cheap. What do you all think.

The following message was sent from www.photoportfolios.net:

Hello,

If I got an email like that, I would be laughing pretty hard. Most of my photos feature either a train or a dead animal. LOL!!!! Just the thing they put on the covers of magazines in Nigeria. I tend to email these scammers back and have fun with them, tying them up and wasting their time while I try to run my own scam on them. Here's a link to the internationally famous, "Shiver Me Timbers," one of the best scambaiters in the world!

Kent in SD

Rod, this was brought to my attention and I have ended the spamming by this person.

cool. It did provide a little amusement though. The stories on the links Kent provided are hilarious.

That is crazy Kent, I just read that Okorie story. Some "Australian" sent me a $5,500 check via a 3rd party person in New York. I knew it was a scam once other people got involved.

Oh, brother... Will it never end?

I received it as well
