Gold FFM Sparky Posted December 9, 2007 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) If you have a few spare minutes (I actually spent a couple of hilarious hours), visit www.quatloos.com , and look for articles by Brad Christensen. He takes on these scammers and plays them at their own game. It's a hoot. Edited December 9, 2007 by sparky Quote British Fart to Florida, Nude to New York, Dunce to Denmark, Numpty to Newfoundland.

Lotus-Ltd Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 According to my emails, I am really lucky too. Just in the last two months, I have won the Italian lottery, the Irish lottery, the English lottery, and I have people from all over the world who have selected me . . . yes, me, to send their long lost uncle's or friends money to as they have to get it in an american bank account for some unknown reason! And I am the chosen one . . . Yes, I'ts a scam. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanR Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 If you have a few spare minutes (I actually spent a couple of hilarious hours), visit www.quatloos.com , and look for articles by Brad Christensen. He takes on these scammers and plays them at their own game. It's a hoot. He is good. Read a few these past few hours. If you haven't yet I'd suggest starting with "The Princess and the Porcupine" to understand where Brad is coming from. Very funny.
