Title: Facebook scam Post by: Big Troubled Bear on June 12, 2009, 05:27:00 AM They now even try to scam you through facebook, just received this mail on my facebook account. [thumbsup]
Dear @#$#@#$#@#$ Please forgive my using this means to reach you but I cant think of any other way of letting you know the urgent matter at hand. I acted as personal attorney to the (late) Engr. @#$#$#$#$#@@!%, who lived and worked here for more than twenty years as a major contractor and businessman. On the 18th of Novermber 2005 he and his wife and only daughter were involved in an automobile accident while visiting a neighboring country on vacation. They were buried two weeks after and I have exhausted all means of reaching who may have been related to them. This has been made more difficult because no mention was made of any relative while he was alive. To the best of my knowledge, before his death, he had an investment deposit totalling more than Fourtheen Million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars($US14.500.000.00) with the major bank here and now they have asked me to provide a next of kin if there is, or the estate will then revert to the government and so it would be lost. My proposal is that you allow to be presented for this role so that documentation can be processed and payment made in your favour. This is a project which will see us partner to realise. I would be willing for us to discuss terms of participation in order to protect our various interests. I want to assure you right away that I have positioned this deal to not last for more that two weeks. I shall be willing to discuss futher on this if write back or send to me your direct telephone number so we can discuss in the type of confidential atmosphere which this matter requires. I will be waiting for your response through my private E-MAIL: faniranevlo.4tg1957@yahoo.co.uk Awaiting your immediate response. Faniran Evlo (Esq). Evlo Chambers & Associates, Rue Du Commerce Avenue B.P.12, Lome-Togo. Title: Re: Facebook scam Post by: KnightofNi on June 12, 2009, 05:28:38 AM don't be a pussy.

Social networking is for people who are too lazy to be bothered to keep up with the people that they are interested in IMO. absolutely wrong. social networking is to have former girlfriends find you and whine to you about how they shouldn't have let you go and how amazing your kid looks and how your wife is so pretty and thin.. social networking is for saying EAT IT pregnant dog Title: Re: Facebook scam Post by: Popeye the Sailor on June 12, 2009, 10:43:58 PM I have a shirt that says "I facebooked your mom".

Title: Re: Facebook scam Post by: KnightofNi on June 16, 2009, 07:04:29 PM But, what if you're the stalker? facebook is great because you can see what people are up to, and usually they put up their twitter information too. and you can also stalk their friends jsut to see if they are tryingt o be sneaky to avoid you. or at least that's the arguement i have heard for not using facebook and twitter. |
