Ha! I was just noticing the enormous amount of spam e-mails I have accumulated in a few short days and I, too, am so flattered by these ways to help out and get involved such sure-fire investments. I'm going to mass-replay with all my personal info, too. :)
My favorite, though, are some of the names that my "friends" have: Inglebert Quisenberry, Theodulus Flournoy, and Frieda Lacaze. If I ever go into the witness protection program (or sign up to invest in some Nigerian friend's scheme), you can find me under, "Inglebert Quisenberry" in the phone book. :)And I am going to work on using verbs, adjectives, and personal pronouns in as rudimentary way as I possibly can.
"Working Id/Int'l passport".
Will they be calling you mmediately or will they just show up at your door step? hmmm, bwahahaha.
The sad thing is that people are still falling for these. Which is unreal to me.
OHMYGOSH! We'll be rich TOGETHER! I'll buy Nairobi and you buy Nigeria!
Does ANYBODY really ever fall for this stuff? I guess they do or they wouldn't keep trying. *Sigh.*
