Get Rich Quick/Scams and schemes

Just curious. Has anyone actually done any of these get rich quick scams? I get e-mails all the time, and have never done any (and it is unlikely I will) but kinda want to try one just to see 'what happens'.

So has anyone ever done one? If so can you share your story?

I have never done any, but I have heard the people that make money from these schemes are the ones that sent the email.

Would be interesting to hear stories regarding these schemes though.

I did one that was advertised in a newspaper once. It said for $25 it would show you how to make money by mailing info out. What I got was about 7 sheets of paper telling me how to put ads out like the one I read and resonded too and how to photo copy the sheets I got and send them out to those that respond to the ad.


Also the one's that say be a mystery shopper.....read the fine print, cause you have to pay to be on the list to join up. I never did thank god.

I just got an email telling me that someone in Nigeria with the same last name as me had died and that I must be the next of kin.....there's millions I tell ya!

All I have to do is send them my name(thought they knew it already)my address and my banking info and they will deposit it ALL into my account except a finders fee of 20%......

Hopefully you guys are reporting the scams where they ask for your personal info!

Earthlink HAS to be the worst ISP in the world for junk email. I clean out probably 10 a day out of my normal box. Anyway, I get those all the time, like the nigeria scam. I also get two or three a day of people trying to get my account info. I've never done one, and I never would.

To whom?

This isn't the government mail. It can't be reported to the Inspector Postmaster.
