Really. First day I won 4.5 million dollars, but the next day the same, "British lottery" sent me a new notice that I'd won 7.5 million POUNDS. What's the pound today? 3 bucks and change?

Both announcements cautioned me to, 'not tell anyone' until the money transfer is complete.

Yesterday a dying expatriot in a China hospital wrote to say he had 9 mill for me- he'd found my name by prayer and research. Trouble is, his letter wasn't addressed to anyone. Ditto for the "Brittish Sweepstakes lottery"

I'm not sure where the fraud comes in- I give my account number and what? They raid it?

I was tempted to forward all of this to the local sheriff. I also thought it might be nice to write the dying expatriot and tell him he shouldn't use God in his scam. I don't want him to burn for eternity for a few lousy bucks, do I?

Also of interest is that a month ago my Norton was turned off. I still had virus protection but the firewall went down and my personal data and files were available for the taking. I couldn't figure out how this happened. Finally a friendly balloon popped up to let me know my license number with Norton had been tampered with and I'd have to wipe and reload Norton,which I did.

I realise most of you can navigate Norton's web site easily, but I cannot, and it seemed more trouble and time than it was worth to let them know what happened. I did see they charged 29 bucks to fix something per incident.

I just recently found the 'refresh' button on the top of my computer screen. Bill showed me where it was when I was at his house.

Four years plus on line and I'm finally refreshed. And rich, flithy rich. I'd be willing to share some of this goodness, just send me your bank account numbers and pin codes.

Just tell 'em to put the unmarked 20's and 50's in paper bags and leave them under the bathtub in the old homestead cabin at the end of the road.
 
e-mail sent. :D

I didn't get any spam for years. Then I put my e-mail address on a site for some information. Now I get at least 5 for six a day. :mad:

Better to have a junk account for such things.

Those are a lot of khukuris!!! :D
 
Heck, I've been offered half of Africa by now. Sure nice to know my reputation as a great guy has spread all over that continent so they want to share one pile of $millions after another with ole' me. ;)

I've been copying their "offers" to each other. They have so much in common. :D
 
I got one offer from Africa about 6 months ago - unclaimed funds in a bank account- would I like them? I never responded and have not heard back from the Dark Continent. Probably because Linton has them all.

Yes, that is a common fraud, nowadays. As a matter of fact, they do raid your bank account! I'm in banking. This is for real. These kind of ID theft related frauds originated primarily in Nigeria, although there have been many copy cats. Never give away your bank account number or your social security number.

Hey, you guys are missin' out big-time. I got one of those Nigerian millionaire letters, sent in my bank account number, and now I'm filthy rich. Uncle Bill, send me a truck load of khukuris! I'm rollin in Nigerian dough!
 
Me too got the letter from Nigeria few years ago. Seemed to me they wanted to use my account for money loundry. Never responded that letter.

Another experience: A young nigerian (I hope) boy apeared in our church one sunday. Offered 70 million bucks cash. He obviously did not have it with him. Said he had the money in hotel room. He told me he "saved" the money when he worked as president's body guard. Shoved lot of scars, probably from bullets. Migt be. He asked for some place to unpack safely the bags of money and to sort them. I pretended I ws not capable of his english. That was not much christian from me, was it? :)

The pound is down to around 1.80 us now, so your 7.5 million pounds is worth a cool 13.5 million bucks. You'll have to throw an HI party and give everyone who attends a khuk party favor!

Some guys have all the luck; however, don't say anything, but I have a deal going with the son of an executed african general, and I'm helping him transfer $95 million is cash out of his country! He needed a contact here is the US, and some friend of his gave him my name as a reputable citizen, (not sure who yet, don't know anyone in Africa (?); well, no matter) so the $ is going right to my checking account and I get 10%!

So eat your heart out you guys! I'll be rolling in it very soon.

Anyway, back to work; I'm having a helluva time balancing my checkbook this month, and not sure what's wrong yet...?

Regards,

Norm
