Subject: Pietenpol-List: Air Camper's response to Nigerian SpamI get tons of spam from "wealthy" Nigerians in desperate need of hiding money in American bank accounts. So, I flood the Nigerian e-mail address with this response, from one of my accounts that will not accept any mail. If you are flooded with Nigerian spam too, maybe we can lock up all the ISPs in Africa bysending bogus mail back to these bozos. Below is the response I am sending.Dear Mr. (Name of Nigerian scam artist here__________),I am Piet Wannabe, a U.S. citizen by nationality. Presently, I reside in the Southern United States. My uncle Piet Wasabuilder, was the president of a large U.S. Airline. When the airline industry began to decline several years ago, politcal leaders in this nation contributed $200 million in cash, to keep my uncle's airline in business. Uncle Wasabuilder stashed the money in a secret location in the desertsouthwest in order to keep the funds protected. Unfortunately, my Uncle succumbed to a propellor accident when a mute aviator started an airplane engine on a dark and foggy night. The mute aviator was not able to shout "clear prop" when starting the engine and Uncle Wasabuilder walked into the propellor as the engine was cranking. And since it was dark andfoggy, my uncle was not able to see and read the sign language when the mute aviator indicated with his hands, as he was waving sign language in the windscreen "clear prop."I am very confident that my deceased uncle buried his $200 million somewhere between El Paso, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada -- in a dust-proof and water-tight lock box. Uncle Wasabuilder frequently took me on many flying adventuresin an airplane he built, when I was a young boy. We frequently flew across the desert from El Paso to Las Vegas and uncle often remarked, "If I had a milliondollars I wanted to hide, I'd bury it out here under 5 feet of sand." AlthoughI was too small at the time to effectively see out of the window where uncle was referencing on the earth below, I think I have a good idea where his secrethiding place might be and I am extraordinarily confident that uncle buried the $200 million the government gave him recently. I seek your help in finding this money and I intend to make you a beneficiary of $150 million when I locate the funds. I only wish to keep a small amount of the money for sentimental reasons. And I'd like to have some cash reserves that would allow me to purchase all the parts and materials to complete a Pietenpol experimental aircraft, having a turbine engine, storm scope, IFR-GPSand some other modest instruments and equipment. I'll build this airplane only so I can retrace the flying adventures Uncle Wasabuilder took me on, between El Paso and Las Vegas many years ago.Oh, how I miss my dear uncle. You can help me in my quest by providing a new Hummer that would allow me to explore the desert between El Paso and Las Vegas. Since there are no hotels inthe area I plan to travel, I ask that you also provide a highly modified Airstream travel trailer to be towed by the Hummer. The Airstream trailer needsto be fitted with a flat and reinforced roof, having a surface area 36 feet long by 8 feet wide. This will be suitable for landing a small Bell Jet Ranger that I ask you to provide. The helicopter is needed in order to search the desertas I drive the Hummer between El Paso and Las Vegas. As you know, the Hummer can go almost anywhere, but the Jet Ranger will be a great asset when searching vast areas around canyons and mountains.As soon as I receive your indication to assist me, I will inform you with the necessary modalities of how to proceed. Until then, in order to verify that you are in a position to provide the above mentioned tools for the search of the vast and open desert, please submit your bank account numbers as well as theaccount numbers to any and all credit cards you have. I am embarrassed to even ask that you submit this information, but let me assure you, this is simplya formality. The exchange of this information will help us develop trust in each other and establish credibility in regard to your ability to help in thisrewarding endeavor. Also please provide the name of your first born child and your mother's maiden name.Kindest Regards and may God Bless You.Mr. Piet Wannabe, Esq.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 11:37:17 -0700 (PDT)
