I want to share my good fortune with all of you....

[Cranky]

I just got this email and I wanted to share my great luck with the community.

Anyone can take over my good fortune with a small but enough charity donation to buy me a Porsche GT3. The proper way is to see this as saintly charity on your way to riches.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am a Solicitor and the Personal attorney to Mr. Caripides William, a national the United States and Britain , who died on Monday 20th of April 2020 of COVID-19 in the United States. I have contacted you to assist in getting the money that belonged to my late client before they get confiscated by the bank. The funds are valued at $15.5 Million Dollars and the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.

I have been unsuccessful in locating the relative therefore i have decided to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $15.5 Million Dollars, can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses incurred during the process or tax as your government may require. I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see the deal through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me so we can discuss further.

Best regards,

Gmail dumps all this stuff into spam so I never see it. Once in a while I will scroll through it. It's hard to believe that people fall for it.

We can start a crowd funding campaign if you want - sad Hab fan needs GT3 to raise his spirits.

Most ridiculous thing someone from Revenue Canada got taken for $50G a few years back.

If we started a go fund me to raise money to pay Molson to fire Berg, I wonder how much would get generated?

Love to help out, Uber, but I've just sent a ton of money to my new fiance who's an oil rig engineer in the Irish Sea. It's to pay for an emergency surgery her (soon to be my) daughter needs. She's very wealthy, of course, but she left her purse on another oil rig. You know how that happens....

She'll pay me back when we finally meet....

Very common script by the romance scammers. Most often originating from Nigerian internet cafes.

Intervene if you hear of anyone going through it. They'll take everything...and even control the brainwashed victim to ask family members for money.

Loneliness leeches.

We get these every few years ... the earliest one we got was, supposedly, from some African country (Nigeria?) maybe 15-20 years ago ... the pain in the ass we used to get regularly was the duct cleaning service ... well, our house was built in 1973, and we have no ducts, it's all radiant heat (from a boiler), so we declined ... later that day, we get another call from these bozos, only this time, I kept talking and talking (for about 1-1/2 minutes or so), ending with "can I speak with your supervisor" ... they hung up ... a few years later, we get eventually get another call ref duct cleaning only this time I'm asking, "what ducks are you selling? Peking, mallards?" ... I was able to keep that going for a while, and it ended with me hanging up ... we also got the "Revenue Canada is charging you with income tax fraud" scam, a couple of times ... one was a voice mail, which we ignored ... the other we picked up the phone, and they had targeted Mrs. Dis ... she's pretty calm most of the time, but she sounded pretty concerned this time, so I ask her for the phone ... it sounded like someone's grandmother on the other end, so I kept asking questions until she, too, eventually hung up ... good times ...

Cheers.
