1. How retarded!

They are basically asking you to join in committing a crime.
Gee, EVERYONE should jump at that chance!
:bounce: :rofl: :bounce: :rofl: :bounce: :rofl:

[RebelOne]

3. There are many greedy people who will jump at this. n/t

[Dr.Phool]

6. Well, at least it wasn't Paul Wellstone's "attorney" again.

[mr blur]

2. Yeah, right...

Every time I go into London I always stumble over boxes of money. The ones that haven't been found by doctors who SHOUT. And are illiterate master criminals. Of course any moron taken in by this deserves everything they get.

BASTARDS!

[bemildred]

4. So, this fool thinks SPAM is a secure "top secret" medium?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[karlrschneider]

5. "...fear of not being caught..."????

good grief
:eyes:

7. What a dumbass. "British Citizen" indeed.

That would explain his erudite use of the Queen's English:

"I WAS AMONG THE RESQUE MEDICAL TEAM THAT WAS ASSIGN TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS"

At least when these scammers admit to being from Nigeria or wherever it explains their shortcomings re grammar and spelling.

[ComerPerro]

8. That Doctor sure has so issues with spelling and phrasing

[BiggJawn]

11. Yeah, you'd think a Medical DOCTOR...

Could at LEAST write as well as a common VCR mechanic....

[NMMNG]

9. Didn't they stop using Pounds some time ago?

I thought they have been using strictly Euros for some time now. :shrug:

[jmowreader]

10. Britain never went on the Euro

They still use pounds.

[soup]

12. So, I'm standing here on a street corner in Rotterdam,

looking for CAPITAL CREDIT AND FINANCE COMPANY, and can't find a company by that name.

Then I realize that I haven't followed the instructions precisely, and have to skip that step and go on to the next paragraph's instructions, because only Dr. J Cole has the address.

Man, this is tiring.

Just thought I'd post this heads up so everyone else can save themselves some time.

Disregard this paragraph in the instructions:
SO SIR I AM WRITING YOU FOR YOU TO HELP ME GO TO THE COMPANY IN HOLLAND BY THE NAME CAPITAL CREDIT AND FINANCE COMPANY IN ROTTERDAM FOR YOU TO GO AND COLLECT THE MONEY FROM THERE AND THEM YOU SEND
ME AN EMAIL THAT YOU HAVE COLLECTED IT AND I WILL JOIN YOU IN THE PRETENCE THAT I AM GOING TO VISIT A FRIEND OF MINE IN YOUR COUNTRY SO WILL CAN SHARE THIS MONEY 70-30 AFTER WE HAVE KNOWN THE EXACT AMOUNT .

:eyes: Do people really fall for this garbage?
