I no longer have to open them. It is obvious to me what it is. Never did I think an educated woman, formally or informally, would fall for this. Even her family tried to tell her, and she refused to listen, as she was so set on getting over 20 million dollars. I feel sorry for her and her family. Imagine what he husband is thinking. A cousin of mine once fell for a vacation scam. What about you? Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:23:03 GMT Yestheypayme2dothis http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2015576.aspx I had just received an e-mail in my gmail inbox with the above title. The contents of the e-mail says that your email had emerged as a winner of 500,000.00 GBP.... Well, I do know that the above e-mail is a scam as I don't ever think that Google will be so good to give anyone that much prize money in the first place. Besides, there are some other hints that this is a scam (1 of them is the e-mail used to send out this e-mail). However, I was wondering how many of you had received this e-mail, and your response to this e-mail at the time of receipt. Do share...

I received another strange e-mail from a stranger and I want your opinion on this!! Because I'm about to believe on him.. Please give me some advise..[/b][/i] HERE is HIS e-mail.. Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:30:32 AM Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE. Hello dear friend, I am in need of your assistance. My name is Sgt. Bruce Reeder. I am a military attache with the engineering unit here in Ba'qubah Iraq for the United States, we have about $7.3 Million dollars we want to move out of Iraq. My colleagues and I need a good partner, someone we can trust to actualize this venture.The money is from oil proceeds here . We are moving it through diplomatic means to your country directly or to a secured location of your choice using diplomatic process.We can't keep this fund here in Iraq due to the condition of things presently. But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take 35% out and keep our own 65%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the fund can be sent to. Our own part is sending the money to you.This business will be a continueous deal as long as you remain faithful to us,we shall be contacting you from time to time to help us in keeping some funds,if you handle this particular deal very well. I will furnish you with more details soon as I hear from you.Send your private phone and full name etc. Yours. Sgt.Bruce Reeder. [i] [b]THEN I REPLIED WITH MY NAME[/b][/i] Hello Choi, I got your response and I really need your full co-operation to actualize this project without delay. Due to the present unstable security situation here in Iraq, this money can't be taken to any bank here to make wire transfer to your bank account. Therefore, we have studied the security network carefully, the best means of sending this money out from here is by using a Diplomat to get the money out and deliver it to you in Dubai. Moving the money direectly to your country will not be possible due to security reasons. Therefore, you have to prepare to be in Dubai within the shortest possible time. The money will be packaged as a consignment belonging to the Red Cross, with diplomatic coverages to prevent security scrutiny. When the consignment arrives Dubai, the Diplomat will clear it from the airport and deliver it to you. I want to know how long it will take you to be in Jarkata so that I'll finalize arrangement from here. As soon as you received the consignment from the Diplomat, I will come over to meet you in Dubai Before we proceed, I require copy of your identification so that I'll really have the trust that you will not run away with the money before my arrival in Dubai. This fund belongs to me and two other partners of mine, I wouldn't want the situation whereby they will hold me responsible if the money is entrusted in the wrong hands. Reply soonest. Bruce Reeder.
