They now even try to scam you through facebook, just received this mail on my facebook account. waytogo

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.

Nope, not alone in that. Social networking is for people who are too lazy to be bothered to keep up with the people that they are interested in IMO.

How are people going to find you to let you know you have inherited or won bazillions of dollars?

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

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

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
