    sUBJECT: REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP

    DEAR AMERICAN:

    I NEED TO ASK YOU TO SUPPORT AN URGENT SECRET BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH A
    TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF GREAT MAGNITUDE.

    I AM MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY OF THE REPUBLIC OF AMERICA. MY COUNTRY HAS HAD
    CRISIS THAT HAS CAUSED THE NEED FOR LARGE TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF 800 BILLION
    DOLLARS US. IF YOU WOULD ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSFER, IT WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE
    TO YOU.

    I AM WORKING WITH MR. PHIL GRAM, LOBBYIST FOR UBS, WHO WILL BE MY REPLACEMENT AS
    MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY IN JANUARY. AS A SENATOR, YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS THE
    LEADER OF THE AMERICAN BANKING DEREGULATION MOVEMENT IN THE 1990S. THIS
    TRANSACTIN IS 100% SAFE.

    THIS IS A MATTER OF GREAT URGENCY. WE NEED A BLANK CHECK. WE NEED THE FUNDS AS
    QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE CANNOT DIRECTLY TRANSFER THESE FUNDS IN THE NAMES OF OUR
    CLOSE FRIENDS BECAUSE WE ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER SURVEILLANCE. MY FAMILY LAWYER
    ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON WHO WILL ACT
    AS A NEXT OF KIN SO THE FUNDS CAN BE TRANSFERRED.

    PLEASE REPLY WITH ALL OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, IRA AND COLLEGE FUND ACCOUNT NUMBERS
    AND THOSE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO
    <mailto:WALLSTREETBAILOUT@TREASURY.GOV>WALLSTREETBAILOUT@TREASURY.GOV SO THAT WE
    MAY TRANSFER YOUR COMMISSION FOR THIS TRANSACTION. AFTER I RECEIVE THAT
    INFORMATION, I WILL RESPOND WITH DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT SAFEGUARDS THAT WILL
    BE USED TO PROTECT THE FUNDS.

    YOURS FAITHFULLY MINISTER OF TREASURY PAULSON

    Barb,

    If people didnt give money, the homeless would not stand on street corners;
    If people didnt buy little blue pills online, the ads would stop,
    If suckers didnt fall for the scam get rich quick schemes, the emails would stop,
    If nobody donated when the phone calls came, the calls would stop.

    But the suckers do so the con men continue

    I must have fell off the widow of rich foreign magnate list, haven't had any good offers in years. I think they black listed me after I strung one of them along for several weeks.

    Here's a new twist. And no I am not going any further with this. Thought about trying to contact this person, but I would have to look them in the eye's.

    Dear Friend,

    I am Mrs. Darlene Grace, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in New Braunfels Texas. My residential address is as follows. 108 Crockett Court. Apt 303, New Braunfels Texas, United States.

    I am one of those that executed a contract in Nigeria years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $20,000 trying to get my payment all to no avail.

    So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my contract documents, And I was directed to meet Barrister Michael Chilo Esq, who is the member of CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE, and I contacted him and he explained everything to me.

    He said that those contacting us through emails are fake. Then he took me to the paying bank, which is Oceanic Bank of Nigeria Plc, and I am the happiest woman on this earth because I have received my contract funds of $1.Million USD. Moreover, Barrister Michael Chilo Esq, showed me the full information of those that have not received their payment,and I saw your name as the beneficiary, and your email address/Telephone number and your contract amount,This is what you have to do now.

    You have to contact him direct on this information below.
    His Name: Barrister Michael Chilo Esq
    Email:bmc.chambers11@gmail.com
    Office Address: 13, Cole Street, Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.

    You really have to stop your dealing with those contacting you okay, because they will dry you up until you have nothing to eat. The only money I paid was just $520 for IRS permit, which you know, So you have to take note of that.


    Thank You and Be Blessed.
    Mrs. Darlene Grace.

    Come on Colorado its free money,

    Ive got a live one from a craigslist scammer going on now. I am selling drum parts for 160 dollars on there. I get the whole my client wants these and I will give an extra 40 bucks for your trouble of accepting my check for item plus shipping costs, to be picked up by his courier (of coarse) and pay the courier when he picks the item up from the extra funds sent.

    I get his email yesterday saying he sent payment of 2600.00 for the item. Now I guess he thinks I am going to email him back saying he over payed me, and then ask me to cut him a check for the difference, wrong amount sent, and oh ya keep an extra 50 bucks for my trouble. I guess some people are actually paying these idiots or they would not keep doing it. There is a sucker born every minute I guess.


    Live everyday like it were your last, someday it will be.

    I would tell the guy sure that's fine, send it but give me some time to get the money back to you as I'm paying for some new parts for my race car.

    Trust me I'm good for it.
