tis is a run off of an old scam used in the certified check schemes in the last three or four years, usually it is a lottery winner from a third world nation of all places who went home to be with sick grandma and found out she won the lottery.

i dont know if you can report it, or even to whom you would report it to(not up on internet law unfortunatley)

but in a real world scenario, you know what id be doing.... mai tai'sdrinker drinker drinker drinker drinker

I haven't received that one yet Fanta but I suppose it is just a matter of time. I have received a ton of them from people in Nigeria, Sons of Princes all, who offer much the same sort of deal.

My personal favorite is when I was notified by a supposed company in Albuquerque, NM that I won the Australian Lottery and that as soon as I sent my bank account information I would be paid in Euros from a company in Belgum.

I received one a while back that took you to a web page that looked for all the world like the Shell Oil Corporate Web Page and asked you to participate in an investmment program to bring a new miracle chemical onto the market. Major Oil Companies don't solicite investment capital via spam on the internet the last I heard. laugh

scam ..... scam all the way ....

I got an email from some guy in Nigeria, telling me he had fallen in love with my picture. Now take a look at my pic ... I am in my Haloween custom with elf ears ..... what kind of a nut job would think I am stupid enough to fall for that one? At any event, he needs five thousand dollars to come to America and marry me.

Okay, what do you guys think? Should I marry the guy? Gardenforge is going to buy a jet with his windfall ..... he could pick all of you up and you could come to my wedding with this Nigerian nut. laugh laugh laugh
