I remember reading that an Indian gave such people 5 Lack rupees ( approx 12500 USD). The scammers were eventually caught but the guy's money was never recovered.

I think the risk is worth it on the off chance that it's legit.
On the other hand I once got some spam which filtered through. It was the typical kind of thing that you might expect, but what really tickled me was the fact that they had a few paragraphs from the Hobbit. It's obvious why they did it, but still amusing.

here is the official spaming thread that I knew,
http://www.anemanda.com/showthread.php?t=5306&highlight=official+spaming&page=1992
I wonder that server is still living !However it is the #1 thread of that community. Fortunately that community was not very famous enoughf to eat all the bandwidth to the spams.
I want to say this to the face "This is a STUPID idea !"

No, so the rest of your message and the one after that are irrelevant. If you had actually read the thread, you would know this.

And if NicAx64 had read some of those spam - his English skills might have improved, somewhat.
