Wow, what an offer..........NOT
« on: 21 June 2008, 12:08:43 »

Just received thsi e-mail, do people really fall for this :o

My name is Mr. David Dover
I am from Greece Please take this
serious, I am taking this liberty anchored on strong desire to ask for
 your assistance for help. Your consent and urgent attention will
 greatly be needed, devoid of apprehensions. I have been diagnosed with
 Esophageal cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right
 now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
 

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared
 for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always
 hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only
 thing I cared for.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than
 just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that i
 have been diagnosed with this deadly disease I have willed and given most
 of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members
 as well as few close friends.  

so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want
 this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have
distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia
 and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do
 this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of
 my accounts and distribute the money, which I have there to charity
 organization in Bulgeria and Haiti; they refused and kept the money to
 themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended
 with what I have left for them. The last of my money, which no one knows
 of, is the huge cash deposit of Ten Million United States Dollars
 ($10,000,000,00) that I have with an Finance Vaulting Unit in Europe.I will
 want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
 organizations.

N/B: Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami
 victims,45% to other Charity Organization and 20% for your effort and time. I
 cannot talk with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am
 using my Laptop Computer to communicate with you. if you are interested
 in carrying out this assignment on my behalf.

Fill this form below when replying this mail.

Your resident address--------------

your name in full--------------------

your tell/fax number----------------------

your occupation--------------------------

your age---------------------------

The name of your company if any------------------

It was in the paper recently - so it must be true  ;D - that people had lost thousands to con-men who were asking for admin money so they could pay them Lottery winnings from somewhere like Nigeria. One bloke had even borrowed money from the bank so that he could collect his 'winnings'  :-?  :-?  :-?

Defensive flares

The AC130 gunships are a sight to behold though,

Thanks for that Jon and the great run down of the AC130 on wikapedia! :y

That is an impressive machine.  I love flying and would dearly love to get behind the controls of that lovely bird.  :);) ;)

I always find these scams hilarious and I can't believe people actually fall for them.  Found a great website of a guy who has a great way of getting revenge.  You'd need to have a lot of time on your hands though...
