I get about 5 of these emails sent to me a day which I can't seem to block. I'm interested to know why there are random lines across the image though. Does anyone know?

[Hervé]

was curious about it too... might be a trick to force the image to load...

I cant think of a more inefficient method of trying to steal money from people.

The usual email is asking for money to release more money. In the UK they did a TV series asking to meet the Nigerians to hand over the money. The money was hidden in a park next to a tree. The Nigerians had to find it using a kids treasure map and then dig for it with a spade. Was quite funny.

Me too.....

I get tons of these too. I don't think they're Nigerian, I think they are attempts to manipulate penny stocks. These are all real companies, and the emails aren't asking for money or anything. What I want to know is why I see these images at all when I have image loading turned off in Thunderbird?

Somebody needs to put that on YouTube. Sounds hillarious.

You could do it yourself. Just invite them over.

Never getting those, as famous as they are.

Some stories are hilarious, and would have needed lots of patience from the faker on the good side...
My fav is a story where the scammer finally thought he was dealing with a british princess a bit dumb, that had involved her old uncle that kept all her millions for her until she was 18, a former KGB agent, and a few MP's... the scammers got as much as 10 different identities( himself, a few lawyers, a few bankers, former ministers etc...).
Takes a while to read but is really hilarious!
Other fav is that scammer that sent proof of his goldmine ( after weeks of negociation from the US guy that was going to invest in them) by fedexing a real gold pepite to the US. He got a Dumbest Guy on earth diploma in return!

ps: using thunderbird i haven't seen any for a loooong time.
