Re: just got a nigerian phish
I received a "private message" from some criminal $%#@! in Nigeria. ("I need YOUR help getting my bank funds unfrozen!!") How do I go about reporting it so this "person" can be taken off? BTW In my reply I told whomever where they could go and to "f" off. Cheers!

Re: just got a nigerian phish
Yes, I got one too, and would like to report it. She would like me to help her invest US$2,500,000 and "will gladly give you some reasonable percent".

I also got one from a Miss Rita Benson with a ID: ritabb
It seems they have invaded the site.

Re: just got a nigerian phish
Mine was from "Rita Benson" too. If you Google her, you'll find she has been at it for at least two years, though she has come down in the world: in 2014 she had $6,500,000 to invest. I wonder what happened to the other $4,000,000.
You would think that once featured as an example on www.419scam.org she would try a different name, but I have read that these 419 messages are deliberately crude and suspicious-looking, because the scammers want to weed out all but the seriously greedy and gullible. From their point of view, there is no point hooking someone alert and sensible, who will only waste their time.

Re: just got a nigerian phish
Well, I went ghetto and cursed him/her out and tried to throw some deep shade by threatening to drop dimes to the FBI/CIA/etc. Like you say, dumber than a sack of rusty hammers and even more useless. Cheers!

I got the same one; where can I report it? Or will this be enough?
