Can anyone tell me what refugee camp near Nigeria has an internet connection?

I would guess that it would be the same one where she wants you to send the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for Junior Williams, of course.

Geez Warren,

Just send her the money and then maybe she and little Williams will come to live with you.

Warren,
If you would stay away from all those porno sites you would not get this crap.

Just kiddin buddy

[wtm442]

E-mail scams have no relation to porn sites. When you surf thru porn sites, you really need an industrial grade pop-up blocker or you will have a zillion explorer pages to close. Somebody told me that is what happens ... I would not know because I'm a member of the Good Boys Club.


Oh my God, my nose is growing longer ....

[4RE KLR]

Yea me too.

Beside I have all I can handle right here at home

[Ron61]

Warren,

I notice that your E-Mail address to contact Yahoo is in Britain. Why not do it here? And as Steve said, stay off the porn sites. They are a great place to pick up viruses.

Ron

[wtm442]

Holy Cow! I'm so rich, even Pay Pal wants my money. The only problem is that I do NOT have a PayPal account and do not have a web site! I'm sure that if I clicked on the Resolution Center link provided in the e-mail that they would want my social security #. The e-mail has very nice graphics too!

Just got this one today .....

Warren,

You are a magnet for scams. Now I don't want any of your information, but for just $1 million I will sell you the rights to the $10 million Sun Dial Bridge in Redding. Of course you would have to come put your name on it.

Ron

[4RE KLR]

Warren,
They say that once you have been gotten to they crooks share your name with all their buddies so they can have their way with you as well.

So either you have been "had" before or someone does not like you at all.

You get more of these than anyone I know. I used to get them everyday but the filters and email firewalls keep them out now. Of course I use a yahoo email address and the blocked email list is 500 names long

Never been scammed before ... never had my identity stolen. As far as someone that does not like me ... I can only surmise that its because of that trollop Frenchy or the nefarious Mt Shasta Goddess.

[Ron61]

Warren,

It must be Frenchy. The Mt. Shasta Goddess likes you. She has promised record snow and cold for your area this Winter so she can keep ours normal.

Ron

[wtm442]

Global warming? Its 39°F outside at 7 AM.

Good morning to all of you. I need a cup of coffee to warm up!

Great picture on TV this morning ... OJ in handcuffs. Throw away the keys!

[Ron61]

Warren,

You don't actually think they may do something to O.J. do you? Remember they had him in handcuffs out here and on a Murder charge and did nothing. He will buy his way out of this minor mess as usual.

Ron

[wtm442]

OMG. I'm so rich, I'm going to have to buy a shovel for all the $$$$ I'm going to get shortly.

Attention.
My name is Mr Karl Brader. I trained and work as an external auditor for a Suisse Bank, working as part of a bigger team that covers the entire sub-euro region. I had taken pains to find your contact through personal endeavors.

On routine audit check last month, I discovered some investment accounts that had been dormant for the least twelve years. All the accounts belong to a single holder (deceased) with monies totaling 21 Million United States Dollars plus interest. Banking regulation and legislation in Switzerland demand that I notify the fiscal authorities after a statutory time period of twelve years when dormant accounts of this type are called in by the monetary regulatory bodies. The above set of facts underscores my reason of writing and making the following proposing.

My investigation of the said account reveals that the death occured in 1994 the exact time the account was last operated. I can confirm with certainty that the said investor died interstate and no next of kin to his estate has been found or has come forward all these years. I am of the settled conviction that using my insider leverage, with I working with you can secure the funds in the account for us instead of allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the Government of Switzerland. This is especially possible as you share same details as the said investor. This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation. I have seized all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate our putting you forward as the claimant and beneficiary of the funds and ultimately transfer the money to any account nominated by you.

Of course you shall be handsomely rewarded for your part in this transaction as I am prepared to share the deposit with you in halves 50% of the total funds for your efforts, less expenses. I shall however leave out the finer details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to participate. Be assured that my colleagues and I are on top of the situation all the time and there will be no risk whatsoever if you agree to come on board. Needless to say, UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap the immens!benefits of this transaction. To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction come to a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the details.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual partnership, endeavor by furnishing me with your Full Names, Date of Birth, Telephone Number, Fax Number, company / position held, Email address, Contact address and Postal address. These requirements will enable us file letter of claim to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals in your favor for the deposit to be released to you before the transfer can be made. We both stand to be well compensated on final conclusion of this project. Your share stays in your account while the rest shall be for me for Investment purposes. I find myself privileged to have this information and this is a great opportunity of a life time of success without risks. I await your urgent response to this proposal so that I can give you further information on this transaction.

Please reply to this email (mrkarlxxxb1@lycos.com) with your advised information, I would appreciate the mutual relationship.
Regards,
Karl Brader
Director, Investment Banking.
