->> Just use common sense when dealing with these types of emails.
First, hit delete. Second, move on with life.
It's not worth getting caught up in scam, it could cost you lots of time and money. |

->> I wonder if Grover could just write in some code so that a scam thread is started like every few hours. I think that would be helpful and would save us all a lot of time starting scam threads on our own.
Barring that, who has the scam thread schedule? I need to know when it is my turn. |

->> Sorry Guys, I realized after that someone else already posted something on this same very subject only a few hours before I did.
1. I was trying to be helpful. God forbid someone tries to do something to prevent others from getting taken advantage of.
2. Obviously I moved one with life, It never affect my life to say something like that is ridiculous. |

->> As I sit here on my yacht in the Caribbean sipping on my morning mimosa paid for by my 10% of the 400M I liberated from Africa and waiting for my Helicopter to airlift me to Miami where I will board my private jet to fly north to shoot the HS baseball today. ;)
I realized that if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is. If you got a few hours be sure to to read about all the lowlife scum every where on the net just do a search on 419 scam in google. This was a $5 Billion dollar scam in 1996 and is much, much higher today and with all the publicity today around it, it still finds people to to defraud.
Now pardon me while I get back to my friend in Iraq who want to pay me 25% to get Saddam's hidden fortune out of Iraq and invested in US real estate. |
