Title: Great News Folks!
Post by: McNorris on May 21, 2005, 04:30:49 AM
I am a very important man.

I get a hundred emails a day (serious) at my work address.

Well, for the past two months I have won a UK lottery, on average once a day!!!

And I have been approached by several Africans, Ukrainians, and over-seas Chines folks about some multi-million dollar business deals...

I am special...

A hundred a day, sometime more... it's just insane...

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Gezuz H. Priest!!!

And all because, when I got Cable Modem the first time they (DirectTV) required an email address. That's were it all started and now...

Well let's just say I am a very important man.
I am BAD, I am Nationwide.

The sad thing is, there's people out there that are stupid enough to believe this crap.
 Don't they ever stop to think "Hmmm, that's the 512th email this week from a widow of a Nigerian Prince..sounds fishy to me" or do they just think " must be some kind of plague that only kills royalty".

Anyway, have a look at www.419eater.com (http://www.419eater.com) for tips baiting the scum.

Greetings,

Whoever invented/conceptualize SPAM should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Why is that never happened? Everyday we have all this unwated garbage and dispite the 1gb storage of yahoo inbox, I bet my arse, in one year time or less, this will be filled to the brim with litters of SPAMS! despite all the filtering it does. :-(

Regards,

Ja, 419eater is great. Those dudes deserve medals. I particularly like how this conversation (http://members.419eater.com/~mikmik/muguslap10.mp3) went. Edit: strong language as the Irish dude lays into the scammer

No way, the law is far too leniant and humane thesedays.
What's wrong with torture using red hot pokers, bambo splints, or Bloodlines socks ?  :evilgrin:

And anyone who ever buys from spammers etc should be put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit, to serve as a reminder to everyone..

I often write some insane stuff back to them. Something like...

"Well, I spoke with god and he said to trust you, but them I spoke with dog and he said no and I trust dog and I am now hungry"

You know babble with no periods. I want to get into an insane exchange with them, but they never reply?

If I get a nigeria letter then I usually respond with a hundred megs of porn sent to their address. Usually fills their mailboxes pretty quick.
Title: How about a letter from Bill Gates Himself! Cheez!
Post by: gizz72 on May 27, 2005, 02:25:48 AM
Greetings,

Here's my latest letter from Microsoft Chairman himself!

Quote

Subject: PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the news!
This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user)  For a two weeks time period.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.
Regards. Charles S Bailey General Manager Field Operations
1-800-842-2332 Ext. 1085 or 904-1085 or RNX
292-1085 Charles_Bailey@csx.com Charles_bailey@csx.com
I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man.
It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in full"
Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real.
Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it( if you are a Microsoft Windows user)for a two week time period.
TRy it; What have you got to lose
