I used to get scam calls when I lived in the UK. When I moved, I bought an 0871 premium rate phone number. Since then, only family & friends get my real number. Scammers like banks, insurance companies & every form I ever fill in, get my 0871 number. The 0871 call still reaches me due to the redirection in place, however the scammer computers will block calling my number because it is premium rate. The very few desperate scammers that do call (about 1 every 2 months or so), I can keep talking as it makes me money. I get about £60 per year from people calling my 0871 number.
I'm a millionaire

I keep getting such offers for the last 12 years. The scan known collectively by Nigerian 419 scame always follows the same route
. Offer to share the money
. Request to deposit a "small" processing fee
. If you succumbed, then request for more. It will continue as long as they can milk you.
Just to have some fun here is what I do
. Tell them I am broke. That stops most of them.
. As them to send money. That stops them.

Signing up takes too long.
I just took a bunch of money and threw it in a bonfire.
No waiting.
No red tape.
And, I got the same results as I would have if I had gone through all the correspondance.

Or so this email states
With due respect,
By introduction, My Name is Mr. Besong Denis, a banker by profession From Ghana, currently holding the post of an external auditor in accounting, I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of Twenty-Five Million United State Dollar to your abroad account; this money has been dormant for years in our bank without claim and this bank will automatically transfer this fund to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund after this year if no one comes for it.
Due to my position in this bank, I was called and asked to reveal a successor of some accounts in the bank; on the process, I found out some fund was left withoutindication of successor in the electronics' files and other book keeping file of the originator account. It was by then I assume it to be a great opportunity tocontact you since you are a foreigner so that we can handle this deal together and get this fund transfer abroad for investment.
I assure you that there is no risks involved in this transaction because it is something I studied very well and with my position in the bank, I have the right toregister your information as the right owner in the bank electronically file and other bank keeping file documents.
I hereby called for your urgent respond and upon your reply; I will direct you more on how this business will be executed and after the transfer 30% of the total fundwill be your share.
This is highly confidential as the success of this business depends on how secret it is kept based on my past experiences.
I get to be a millionaire at least 5 times a day. I spend the money quite fast, so i am lucky that i become a millionaire once again the very next day, lol.
