Good News...

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

... for me!

ATTN Mr. O'Bryan:

I am Mr.peter wong Executive Director of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
hong kong.

An Iraqi named farouk bassem,a business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 12 calendar months, this is valued to Eight Million
United State Dollars only in my branch.

Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war,
four years ago(2004).Again after the war another notification was
sent and still no response came from him.

We later found out that farouk bassem and his family had been killed
during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home at Mukaradeeb.

After further investigation it was also discovered that farouk bassem
did not declare any next of kin in his official paper s including
the paper work of his bank deposit. My proposal is to put you as next of
kin and have the funds released to you for us to share 50/50 for your
assistance.

Should you be interested in executing this with me; indicate your
interest by sending me Your response with your name,address,
occupation and phone number to reach you


Sincerely,
Mr.peter wong


At last, retirement.

Some guys have all the luck. You know, it would be easier if you also sent him your bank account number and SSN... then he could just direct deposit and you'd be all set!
Be the change you want to see in the world.

I always keep them ready to send.

A couple years ago I was nearly as lucky with a Nigerian Prince. I talked it over with my wife, and we decided to send him all of that information. It was for tens times what I am getting from Mr. Wong.

My problem is I think I took too long to answer and it cost me about $350,000. It seems something disrupted the transfer of funds. Possibly civil war or something.

No matter, now I keep the information handy. It is a complete list of everything right down to my Record Club Of America numbers, credit card numbers, even blood type and organ donor information for both myself, my wife, and mother-in-law. I just send off the complete list.

I will not miss opportunity again.

This time, retirement is at hand.

Jim,

So that you don't miss ANY opportunities, you should try what I do.

Just put all that important data in your signature file so that you can be easily pre-qualified by Nigerian princes. It's like trolling with a treble hooked Erie Dearie.

With this strategy, every time you communicate online, you increase your chances to help humanity, one Nigerian Prince at a time, and to retire on the tips.

Last week's This American Life has a great story about how a group of online activists scammed the 419 scammers:

You really should not be so hard on yourself.

No matter what, I always find your post amusing.

I hope you feel the same about mine.

I promised Tom Bullock I would stop using treble hooks in Lake Erie as a favor to him, after he told me he wanted to run for Jimmy Dimora's spot. I would hate to grab Bullock's ear!

You just gave me a great idea for another Service website makemerich.com A place where all of us, and those wishing to be as lucky as us, could post all of their personal information.

That way princes, bankers, whoever that needs to find that information can go, get it, deposit the funds and then just let us know after they are done.

Think of it, post all of your personal information and wake up rich!

I think this is what McCain was talking about with "The US Financial Fundamentals Are Strong." We can think our way out of this financial problems.

This makes more sense than a site that tells criminals which homes are foreclosed so they no where to go to steal copper pipes. A lot less work too!

Imagine all of us getting hooked up with rich Nigerian Princes, and Hong Kong bankers. Oh yeah baby, life is so sweet.

Here is the link to what they are talking about. I read about this years ago when a friend put me onto it. Some of it might be mildly offensive but most of it is hilarious. Fun way to turn something back on the scammers.

Read at own risk.

Good news...

Short lived.

All month I have been getting bills, most do not have my name right but they are pouring in faster then I can pay them.

While I do not remember spending all of this money, much from businesses I have never heard of, I want to keep my credit rating high so that I can borrow over the next couple years.

Whew, wish that bank transfer would happen.
