mortensen Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Well, my Dad just got an email from the daughter of some middle eastern leader who has two cases filled with $60m and would like my Dad to help fund her and would in exchange get money and she would give some money to the government to help the economy as well. All they wanted was to get to know him and his bank details. You think he should? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpablo Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Yes I get e-mail from potential business deals, just give them my credit card info and I'll be rich. But apparently I keep on getting "Raped" by high interest rates. This morning I discovered somebody sending out spam with one of my e-mail addresses as the reply to address and sender. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
