| You've all got these at some point right? I actually have responded to few of them, and I'd like to share them with you here. First one was from a gentleman named "Henry Kanda" - Spoiler:

It goes on forever, until: - Quote :

Here's my response: - Quote :
> My full name: Sauron > My contact address: Mordor 0001, Middle Earth > Occupation; Evil Dark Lord > Your phone number: 666-555-6666 > Date of Birth: Before creation of the world >
He actually mailed me back after this: - Quote :

Hello, My name is Fraser P. Seitel, spokesman and a close confidant to the Rockefeller family – one of the richest families in the United States of America. I have the documents covering the sum of £25,000,000.00 (twenty-five million British pounds) belonging to Dr. Richard Rockefeller who died in a plane crash on June 13, 2014. This money is deposited in Great Britain for hospital establishment purpose and to build a charity organization in the name of Dr. Richard – I am the only witnesses to this and now that he is dead, I need you to partner with me and receive this money to execute these projects. I will give you more details when I get your response to my proposal. In the meantime, you can read through the link below for information about Dr. Richard and the entire Rockefeller family history.

Kind regards, Mr. Fraser
And my response: - Quote :
- Sorry, I already recieved a shit load of money from a member of the Nigerian royal family. I don't think I need any more.
The last one: - Quote :

My response - Quote :
Well boo-hoo. My brother was shot to death, my sisters were raped and murdered, and my father's head got eaten by a fucking bear. Come back whining when you have real problems.
Neither one of these last two have responded back yet. I doubt they will, unfortunately. | |

| I've known a few people who fell for scams like this, and I say the same thing to all of them:
"What made you think that this random stranger would just pick you randomly to get all of this money?" | |
