I've received multiple emails like that .... I read an article somewhere that this kind of scam has been going on before email existed, people would write letters to CEO's and other wealthy people trying to get them to fall for this. The crazy thing is, people have fallen for it and lost a lot of money!

 
The lengths these freaks will go to. They can't believe people are that gullable right?

Why do people waste their time doing this stuff?? I used to get lots of them before in my old email addy but since changing i haven't got any spam (touch wood!)

I used to get a lot of these scam-mails... and my b/f got one once when he was selling his truck on Ebay - some guy gave him a whole long email like this - he was from another country, yadda yadda - would pay him 4x the amt. he wanted... yadda yadda... must take all the money and give it to some guy in CA - who will take the truck - then my b/f would get 2x what he asked for truck put back into his bank... whole big money laundering scam... some people are just OUT THERE!! LOL
cool.gif


 
OH yeah... my b/f forwarded it to a cop friend of his - they said it was definitely a money laundering op - and that if he wanted to actually do it, they would catch the guy on the pickup of the item. Naturally he didn't want to get involved! LOL

 
ROFL! Yeah, I have got many of these....

Damm, who has the time to write these up over and over?

I got an email very similar to this one,from a supossed dying man.Muggins(me) here sort of believed him and gave him the benefit of the doubt.Luckily my brain got into action and i realised the whole thing was a massive stupid hoax/fraud attempt.Thankfully i didn't give any bank details!
