Ron
Your cut is in the mail. Look out for the package I mailed to you today. You'll get a BLAST out of it.:eek:

Yesterday was a good day. Got 2 e-mail scams. I was thinking about getting a throw away e-mail address and answering all the scams and lead all of these crooks on a wild goose chase. I love the reverse scam about the guy who sold an Apple Powerbook to a crook in England. Got him good. I'll see if I can find the link.

Warren,

I have several throw away e-mail addresses that I use when I am corresponding with some place that I don't want to keep in touch with. When I am done I just delete that address and build another one.

Ron :)

OMG, this one is a real tear jerker ...

Dearest In Christ,
May God bepraised!!!

I am Mrs. Fatima Iyesa Ismiana from Kuwait.
I married to Usman Ismiana of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in Madrid Spain for nine years before he died in the year 2003.

We were married for eleven years without a child he died after a brief illness that lasted only four days. Before his death he was a very
devoted muslim and I was a devoted Christian by birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $15million dollars (FIFTEEN million dollars) with an overseas finance and security firm. Presently, this money is still with finance and security firm.

Recently , my doctor told me that I had aterminating illness (cancer) thatwould last for the next four months.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness,having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a Christian organization and a devoted Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want this Christian organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund churches,orphanages,widows and also propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy bible.

I took this decision because I don't have any child to start from and where I will stop and my husband's relatives are all Muslims and I don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that call me an unbeliever.I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I don't need any telephone communications but will only give you the contact of my lawyer Barr Mike Williams because he is the one who is going to assist you in making you the beneficiary of the consignment in the finance and security firm.

May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you. Amen.

Yours faithfully,
Mrs.Fatima Iyesa Ismiana.

I cannot believe I won the lottery again! :LOL: :LOL:

Warren,

I see Fatima is still at it - cancer must be in remission and giving her a
little more time to find a fish.

The lotteries always fail to mention the "processing" fees for the sweepstakes. Oh, and they won't let you deduct them from your winnings -
fancy that!:LOL:

:)

In other to claim your prize, you are required to fill in the form.

Gee, you would think that as many of these as they send out they would at least learn to spell simple words. Grammar is another bad give away. Warren, you have got to stop answering these things. One day you might actually get some money from one of them. Maybe $1K to help replace the $100K they took out of your account. :LOL:

Ron :)

Most of these (~70%) are "captured" by the spam filter at the ISP. But I go on their website every few days and log on to my remote mail server and check the "screened mail".

If I had the time to answer all of them, I'd be richer than Bill Gates. :LOL:

Warren,

I just set my spam filter to automatically delete them. I may miss a legitimate e-mail once in a while, but even when I turn it on to save them I just don't hardly ever get any. Guess I am just doomed to remain poor.

Ron :)

Ron - but deleting them automatically is no fun. I like reading them especially for the bad spelling and grammar mistakes.

Fun for the feeble minded. :p :p :p :p :p

:D

Warren,

Reading them is ok but it your answering them that has gotten you all of then fun reading. I still think setting up a phony bank account, working with your bank of course, and then using a throw away e-mail name would be some fun. Just tell them your bank requires a good faith deposit of $1K in order to transact that kind of business. :LOL:

Ron :p

Ron,
When I was in the banking business we tried something similar to that. The spam was going to the Bank CEO and it was many times everyday.

He got the Feds involved and they set up a sting. They actually took over the email responses so we do not know what they said. The Kids were 13 and 14 years old from Korea. They told the Feds it was only the second time they had been caught in six years.

Do the math on how old they were when they started.

:)

Steve,

It seems more and more of that stuff is coming from Korea now. I used to trace a lot of it and was surprised at how many originated over there. Oh well, I guess they need the money. They have arrived in the present for sure. When I was last there, an Ox and cart were the main means of transportation except right in Seoul.

Ron :rolleyes:

Not only am I raking in the cash, I'm also getting cars. Not bad. :LOL: In most lottery, the winner has a year to claim the prize ... but here you haqve to do it within 7 days. :CRY: :CRY: I do not think I can work that fast.

Warren,

How do you keep winning lotteries and cars when you don't enter any of those things? To win a lottery you have to at least buy a ticket and the other crap you would need to at least put your name in the pot. Darn am I glad we have you and that priest that used to come see me. Between the two of you, that kept the rest of us from having to receive that stuff. Oh, and by the way, congratulations on your great fortunes. :LOL: :LOL:

Ron :)

Gee ... I only got one e-mail promising tons of cash ( just a tad over a million $) while the CC site was down, but it was from my old friends ... Roger and Grace from Wesr Africa. :LOL: :LOL: I guess they do not have a spell checker on their e-mail program.
