How big is it going to be??? :-D You should do what I do-and that is to use the most bluest language as possible when replying to these freaks. I use it on occasion and I actually got a reply from the idiot threatening to have me arrested because I cussed out a "British Barrister." You know what I said? I again cussed him out and giggling like a Baboon the whole time I was doing so :lol: Needless to say-that Baboon never contacted me again. I was looking forward to having some fun with that idiot.
sounds terrific, i hope your Yacht a long life, and hopefully you don't sink it when you hit it with a bottle of champagne when you christen the beauty.
Those spammers are called "Champagnards" in Nigeria and on the Ivory Coast. They party with Champagne when they got their money from gullable westerners. When you get your Yacht we will be able to race with my fleet.
Damn, I thought it was real...I was going to offer my services as crew for the cost of a flight ticket....I love sailing....Just buy the damn thing and we'll sort the finances out later...I'm sure its a real thing....I've got a hat and deck shoes..I'm ready...
I find it amusing that they say you are the benefactor and still, you have to tell them your name... Are e-mail accounts represented in wills now? "I shall hereby leave my entire fortune to the owner of the random e-mail account teh_sexor@mail.com" Cheers...
I can't believe people actually beleive this b.s. and worse, that enough of them pay to subsidize those modern pirates, because that's what they are, nothing else .
A yacht?! Pffft.... they offered to raise the Bismarck from the deep and trailer it to my house for $199.... all I had to do was give them all of my personal info, including my favorite color and the deal will be sealed. PS - I'm still waiting for the battleship to arrive - that was months ago.
Be patient. Do you realize how long it takes to shrinkwrap a battleship? Plus, they ran short of packing peanuts...
I'm buying a U-Boat with my money so I can kick some butt...my targets will be politicians in there fancy big boats.
Hi Skipper, that's one of the saddest parts about this. I watched one of those "People who had been scammed" shows that Dateline NBC comes out with on occasion-and they profiled a lady who had been conned out of several thousand dollars-because she was dumb enough to believe that she actually won a CANADIAN lottery. SHe had been contacted by someone who said she won near a million in a CANADIAN lottery-and that she needed to cough up I think it was $15,000? to pay the winnings tax. The lady promptly went out stripped her savings account and sent the money to whatever address was supplied-and got taken bigtime. The 1st red flag that should have been raised in her mind was: DUH-I didn't play the CANADIAN lottery so how should I have been able to win? kinda thing. Another profiled person was some guy in his late 50s who had met some attractive woman on-line-who supposedly fell in love with him sending him provacative and very cleavage-type pictures. All she asked him to do for her was to recieve electronics packages and then forward them for her to her ""clients."" He was supposed to pay the postage costs-then she would reimburse him-which never happened because "SHE" turned out to be one o fthose lazy good for nothing slimy bastards from Africa who go use the internet to scam people out of their money since they are too frigging lazy to get off their backsides and actually do somehtinf called: W~O~R~K. Anyway, an investigation was done by Dateline on the girl and such-turns out that she was originally supposed to be from Austrailia-but it turns out that these scammers found her picture somewhere on the net and used them posing as this gal who I guess must have been a stripper. Dateline finally went to Africa and found the actual address to where all of the mans packages were being mailed to. It turned out that the man was unknowingly recieving stolen electronics and sending them to a "fence" in Africa. One of the first red flags this man should have thought of-was why in hell would I be accepting and sending electronics from one stranger to another-let alone mailing all of these items to AFRICA of all places? This guy was scammed out of about $50,000 of his life savings. Call me suspecious or something else but-and maybe it's do to my past Law Enforcement experiances but-I really have to wonder at how potentially intelligent people can get scammed by things like this? Maybe it's just that I like holding onto my money as much as possible even though I am not a miser-that keeps me from falling into a similar trap? I spend money when I see good deals. A great case in point was last night when I scored 20 photos taken by the photographer of the 79th GJ Arty Rgmt-as well as one of that Regiments Daily official reports too.
I was thinking the same thing. We could go cruising in the Caribe, doing the "Captain Ron" thing, making it up as we go along.
I recently had a "windfall" of $422 from HRDC since they now allow people whose heating is included in their rent to apply and receive recompense. This showed up two years ago, but I didn't know it had (DOHHHH). What I am spending my found money on is an electric assist mountain bike, I only have to go about two miles to my local supermarket store for food and beer, about three to my local hospital corridor, and less than five to my local automotive NAPA for stuff. It is from Currie Enterprises (EZip), and I just make it under the weight limit of 240. If I am just running down to the store for a case of brew, or a bag of groceries, this will be great. I might even loose some of those extra pounds my bunged up knees (replacement cadaver parts) have let me gain!
