I'm gonna be rich!

Post by jackalope »

WOW guys check it out I'm gonna be a millionaire!!!! Check out this e-mail I just got from some nice rich old lady who I never met before and have no idea who she is, she wants to give me 3.5 million dollars! Once I'm a millionaire I'm gonna buy every single member here a brand new R/C tank of their choice! Thats right guys and gals (if there are any) I'm gonna buy each of you a new tank! I'll allow a budget of $1000 for whatever tank you want. Attached is the e-mail she sent me out of the blue, gee I can't WAIT to get all that money!

Seriously is ANYONE in the world this STUPID anymore? :haha:


GOOD DAY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise since we have never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to chose you amongst the numerous internet users in the world, precisely I cannot say why I have chosen you but do not be worried for I come in peace and something very positive is about to happen to your life right now and to the lives of others through you if only you can carefully read and digest the message below. The internet has made the world a global village where you can reach anybody you have not met before.

Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, I am Mother Jane milne Robert, 72 Years old woman and the wife of Late Sir Moses Anna who died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of September 1999 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva. Please see site below for more information.

http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9809/ swissair.victims.list/index.htm After the death of my husband I became the Head of his investment and now that I am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business life, but before the death of my husband we had a plan to use the last days of our lives to donate half of what we have worked for to the less privilege and charity homes and the other half for ourselves, family members and close friends, and it is so unfortunate that my husband is not alive today to do this with me and I am very weak and old now, hence I have decided to do this philanthropic work on behalf of my late husband and I. Presently, I have willed out almost half of our assets to several charity homes and to some of the less privilege in different countries.

Despite the agreement between my late husband and I to give aid to the deprived, we also agreed to render support to an individual we have not meet before in life due to the fact when we were still young in life we receive an anonymous help from an individual we did not know and which we have not being able to know or met again till date, the impact we got from such gestsure made us wabt to do same.

I am sorry to inform you that you will never have the chance to know me because I have just concluded the assignment which my husband and I have agreed upon before his sudden death and you happened to be the beneficiary of our last WILL, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing.

I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of $3.5million with DHL express to deliver to you when i visited west Africa to conclude some unfinished transaction and investment on behalf of my late husband,So i have contacted the ATTORNEY in charge of the deposited cheque which i left there so that he can go to the DHL delivery company there to know when they will deliver the cheque package to you because of the expiring date.
For your information, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance Premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country..


You have to contact the DHL COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your cheque with this informations below;

dhl address: DHL International Nigeria Ltd DHL House ABUZE ABUJA

Contact Person: Eng Richard Stephen.

Email: dhldeliveryworld01@gmail.com

Again, you are not to pay for the delivering Charges, the Insurance premium and the Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque because I have already paid for them, the only money you are expected to pay is $180.00 USD for the security keeping & intuity fee of the cheque so far.
I would have paid the fee but the company insisted that I should not because they don't know when you will be contacting them and to avoid demurrage or further cost.

You are to reconfirm the below information to them to avoid any mistake on the Delivery.
Your Postal / delivery address;

Your Full Names:

Direct telephone number:


Here is the security keeping code: (FED/0433/SKC) of you draft, you are to also present it to them for verification before delivery.

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to ask them to provide you with the method they wish to use in receiving their security keeping fee of $180 USD from you with immediate action.

Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or my husband all I need you to do is to invest wisely with it and do the same good to someone’s life someday as this is the only way this world would be a better community if we render selfless services to one another.
Be also notified that I will no longer be reading my emails or surfing the internet as I have retired completely from the outside world to my ranch, at this moment I have nothing to do with cars, emails and other luxuries, all further correspondence should be forwarded to the courier company for the delivery of your cheque to you.


Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Jane Milne Robert.

I had a little fun with it at their expense ...it was their dime for the calls...so I would keep them on as long as possible.... the dead give away was they called me on a Sunday.... and the guy said he would call me back once he verified everything with the IRS :haha: :haha: :haha: ..........Seriously...the IRS???????????????? on a Sunday?????????????Image......when he called me back in 5mins like he said he would... I was beside myself ...had to hold back from cracking up ... who the heck get's through to the IRS...in less than 5 mins Image...not even the president gets that kind of service Image
They called back a few times afterwards... I just played Stupid....told them when they resend their so mentioned "Package" then we'll talk Image

MORAL TO THE STORY....don't take any phone surveys...that's how they get you..your phone number etc.. ;)

PS. They are persistent...still getting calls...but different strategy on their part.... they hang up when my answering machine kicks in...hoping I will call them back...they seem to get kick backs from the toll charged on the calls......but I recognize the area code...and don't bother :D ....you see every time my machine picks up their call...they get charged on their end Image

Do not be surprised if you receive a communication from my lawyer, you ratbag!!! sitting on the patio downing a long cold glass of homemade pineapple juice whilst brushing off the volcanic ash from across the bay. :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: Talking of volcanoes, for goodness sake keep safe, :thumbup: shaun

What in the WORLD is going on?!? I just received another of these want free money BS e-mails but this time its from a 20 year old African "princess" who's mean step mother won't give her any of her late father the "king's" money unless she gives some of it to an "unknown stranger" This time however its for 6.5 million dollars all I need to do it send her 10% of the money first so she knows my e-mail belongs to a real person and she'll release the funds into my offshore bank account. Problem is I don't have 10% of 6.5 million and was wondering if any of you would be interested in getting rich with me? :haha: Ok Ok I kid! :haha: I'm not asking anyone here for any money relax mods. I just think its funny I haven't gotten these stupid things in YEARS and now 2 in one day?

Between the 2 of them it looks like I stand to get 9 million! Screw the R/C tank crap I'm gonna buy a REAL KING TIGER!! :haha: I bet I don't sit in traffic anymore! :haha:

They got you zeroed Jack...don't open any more emails...just mark them as spam and get rid of them.... somehow they put tracers in those mails just like other spam... once you open them... your email will allow them in..so marking them in spam...and changing your settings on your allowed list will help a lot in ridding yourself of them ...let them call you ...it's more fun :haha: :haha: :haha:

Well the silver lining is you will have stories that will make you laugh and cry for awhile :haha: ...just don't ever reply to them ;) ...you might also ask anyone on your contact list if they are getting them...if they are...that means you could have gotten a virus... and it has traveled to whomever is in your list of friends...that's worse case scenario...to which you might have to take it to a pro to have them remove it :thumbdown:
