my prayers have been answered!

[KnightofNi]

and this time the FBI has verified it!
though it does scare me that the FBI has my e-mail address but not my actual name, how can i deny this?
the $392 for "information he shall provide" me is well worth it for the prize money.

DAMN!
the guys at my local fbi office told me I was the beneficiary...

[r_ciao]

Congratulations!  What a wonderful way to start the new year.  Sounds like a winner.  After all, the FBI letter states that this is "Safe and 100% risk free".  Here's a thought, I might have $196 in loose change laying around.  If I send to you, can I have half of the $800,000?

NOT!

Happy New Year everyone. [moto]  Ciao!

[redxblack]

 

congrats!

I got an email from an overseas lawyer about a relative who died and left me a large sum. Since it is their second request (even though I never got a first request), they have withheld the name of the decedent. I'm not sure if I should be sad that a relative died or happy that I got a bazillion dollars. Maybe we can go yacht shopping together.

Congrats. New bike on the way?

A desmo or 2 I suppose

[KnightofNi]

A desmo or 2 I suppose

come on now...it's only $800K.
i'll lose half to the taxes, so i really can't go too crazy. $400K will buy me a decent house though.

[cokey]

Ha, wow..  I say forward it to the real FBI, maybe one day they'll actually catch the people and take care of them..  I know a female who was scammed by them over there saying they'll buy her wedding ring for a lot more she was asking...  don't know if it was from just being dumb or from the lack of sanity seeing she wasn't going to get married now but, she sent the ring before verifying payment..  some people..

Wait. There is something fishy here.

Is it "Muller" - shown in the email address or "Mueller" shown in his signature?

I'm beginning to think maybe this thing isn't for real.
