You guys are funny!

I notice you got the Bank stated as Bank of Singapore.

People in asia get those from Bank of England and such.

They have some intelligence after all.

The success of these scams is based on the GREED of the typical person.


Looking Brian Calrton's signature line, " The average person is a moron", got me thinking..... Half of the people are below average.
Except here on OD and in Lake Woebegon where, as we all know, "...all the children are above avaerage"

How very sad..all of the above. Now, as a solid American senior looking to that great showroom in the sky I am very pleased to offer you my interest in a certain Bridge in a large East cost city. Simply post your full name and address, SS number and Bank name or send a check ( Cash will do it) to my address, in the small amount of $25 buck-a-roos. Said address held by web-master on a commision base. This will give you all the information you will need. Be Rich In A Year!!! Jambo17

I got one of those a couple yars ago. I had an old junk tractor I posted on a old junk tractor web site, offering it as a non-running parts tractor, for free. This moron writes to me claiming to be a purchaser of agriculture equipment for his village, and wanted to know "the condition and price" of my tractor! I actually wrote back, after his second email, knowing it was a scammer, and told the idiot "as stated in the posting, it's a non-running parts tractor, for free".
Never heard from him again.
Not only do they think we're all stupid, but they're even STUPIDER!(is that a word?)
