My response:

Yes, I am very interesting in your deal. However, I
find it odd that I have received dozens of emails such
as yours in the past, with bad spelling and grammar,
each with a different situation and a slightly
different reason as to why you want to send me lots of
money. But hey, what can I possibly lose?
So let's go ahead and start this deal up.
Oh, by the way, incase youd didn't know, I have a fee
of 15,000 US dollars wich must be sent to me before
any business deals. So send me the money and then we
can get started

OOO, this looks good macman. Let us know if they respond!

These people who run the scams expect an average person, dont be the average person, be a wolf. Try to arrange a person to person meeting to distribute the money, then expose yourself as a wolf, kill the fuckers and take the money.
No one will miss these thieves.

i responded once like that. i got another form letter saying roughly "right then, give us all your address/phone/bank details and then we'll let you know what to do". this one was supposedly from a minister. i wrote back again saying i wasn't that incautious and would like more specific information, and incidentally would the minister be interested in visiting my religious website at polytheism.org.uk?
this time i got a personal 3 paragraph reply which went to great trouble to insult and berate me, saying that god hated me and that i would bear an eternal curse.
some people have very small minds.

Actually it is a known hoax. I remember reading the FCC bulletin on that one. If you continue correspondance they will ask for like a $2,000.00 retainer as a "Show Sincerity" and to assist him draw the money. SHAMS AND HOAXES...Imagine that!

Calum, that's because GOD DOES HATE YOU!!! :mad: :mad:
Why, if Steve Jobs met you he'd take and instant dislike, I'm sure of it.
