Are they all prisoners of a cult, locked in a dark basement with no outside contact for decades? But then how do they have email addresses?!

You're completely right. They still do it because it still works. Just like the guy on Craigslist from Tennessee who contacted me about a vehicle I had for sale. Wanted to send me a cashier's check right away to hold it for him until his buddy could come pick it up. Some people must still fall for this sh*t.

This guy isn't even a Barrister, so I'm not buying it.

I love when I get those at work. I transfer the call to my coworkers and just say "this is for you" and hang up.

I received the same thing from a Wanda Stargell on Twitter. She is a representative of Representative John Bernard.

It seems that I'm late and am only eligible for just over $2,280,000. I feel cheated. I'm responding so I can GET PAID!!

UncleWede · 09-10-2018, 10:56 AM
