I think, if you're trying to run a money scam, you should at least know the language of the people you're trying to scam. That's what I think!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Dearest Remain blessed I know this may come as surprise and sceptic to you.Since we do not know each other,but i am contacting you with trust and faith i have, that you will never fail me. My Name is MrsMarie Tiko a nationality of Liberia. I am married to late Mr. David Tiko who worked with Liberia embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year Octorber 2003. We were married for twenty years with a child. He died after a illness that lasted for long four days.Before his death we were both a good child of God. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sum of $7.2 Million (seven Million Two Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with one of Good banks here in Cote d'Ivoire . Presently, this money is still with the bank.I have been diagnose with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.Recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to churchs or better still a child of God individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a person or a child of God member that will use this fund to orphanages, research centres and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Holy sprit made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this by myself anymore this is why i seek for your assistance, I once asked try a member of my family to distribute the money which I gave him to the charity organization here they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be ontended with what I have left for them. I took this decision because I have a child that will inherit this money but my son can not carryout this work of God only because i and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God and live some for our son to have a better live. my son is just 17year old now and been grow up in africa, he have low manterity and I don´t want my family hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers,i don´t want a situation where this money will be used in any way that those not concern the will of God. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going to. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the God. I want your telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my family relatives around me always. I don´t want any of my husband family relatives to recieve this money. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. individual to always pray for me because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I live a life of a worthy child of God,Whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth, Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. I pray to God for his providence for a smooth transfer., please contact me immediately for more details . I will be highly appreciate to receive your telephone and fax number. Remain blessed in the name of the God. Mrs Marie Tiko

This could be the answer to all your money problems.
Or the cause of a lot more of them.
Be sure and send your fax number.

SS - I think I should pass on this one - as should you. I will solve some of the problems by NOT sending the info. I don't think I can be trusted to trust this person. Maybe I should send x's fax number?

I think with all the excitement of my son being home with his wonderful love I forgot to tell you all really good news.... at least I think so .... I'm a bit scatterbrained at the moment. And tired, I also had all of my adopted boys around last night, they slept over, 6 boys well 7 with Mikey, and 3 of us girls ( well its morning and I can be a 'girl' for a few hours until the work begins <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />) Great fun to see my sons old mates all together. Though some come & drop in every now & then even when hes away... I guess they like being mothered and nagged <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Unfortunately some of them had/ have dysfunctional parent or two ... way more than I anyway. anyway good news ...... Liz's Jonnie is coming home!! 12 weeks leave, isn't that wonderful for them! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I think she's planning a trip for them but she's floating on air right now and its hard to shout to get her attention <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I do so wish Aussie was here, he has missed so much. But if wishes were dishes I'd be giving away dinner sets <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I read an extremely funny, if somewhat earthy, book by an attorney who decided to scam these scammers. Neak has it right now, so I can't remember the name, but what he did to them was deserved, cruel, and hysterically funny. He would pretend to want to cooperate, but would string them along with these fantastical stories, just to see how long he could drag it out before they gave up or became suspicious. He played them against each other, telling one that another one had said the first was a crook. Vivid imagination, and a fine sense of revenge. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Aussie used to get them even through his gov email. He got sick ot it one day and emailed back Army email he had been hired as a mercenary and could they give them their addresses as it would be so much more gentlemanly then breaking down doors as his client wanted him to 'rationalise' his competition ... never got a response for some reason <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The other way he used to discourage them was by telling them to deduct all the 'service' fees from the deposit and send him the net balance, never got a response on that either <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Its hard to believe they con so many people each year ... greed for some and desperation in others I guess

I'm trying to find the spammer guy book, I just saw it. So far, his response letter from a certain canine cartoon character has been my favorite. The sheriff just came by trying to serve Uncle Ed with some paperwork. I looked as horrible and trashy as it is possible to look...long witchlike hair hastily smoothed, eyes red and bleary, face white and puffy, well it was a hard night. If I hadn't set my alarm for 0630, but then just hadn't gotten up yet, I could have been incoherent, too. Walking to the door mumbling, "I know Clancy is in the house. I know Clancy is in the house." So that's my big adventure, and it's not even 0730 yet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

As far as the scammers go -
You won't see me mailing them back. I was just teasing.
Neak - please translate. I don't get the short version.
Rella - you are interested in art.
Do you paint?
Do crafts?
Sculpt?
Are you a musician?
Tell us about your interests.
If you talked about it before, I missed it.
Can any of these interests be parlayed into a profession? Or would that take too much time and effort?

Dear Mrs. Sigcau,
What straits you must be in, trying to raise three children all by yourself. I am sure 30 million dollars would be very helpful, and I would like to see you get it. I myself was raised by a single mother. I was one of six children, born in the Mojave Desert. Sometimes we were so poor we had to eat wild game such as the small birds known as roadrunners. When we could catch them.
I could use the money, too, as my company, Acme Products, is in a slump due to the passing of restrictive laws regarding the sale of fireworks, large magnets, and anvils.
Also, I have medical problems resulting from a traffic accident. Some prankster redirected the line on a local highway, and I followed it into the side of a mesa.
Please let me know what must be done.

SS - yes, I do confess to having what I call an 'artist's soul' but I didn't feel that I was a good candidate for earning a living as a single mother artist. Somehow a job with benefits seemed to be a better choice. I could pursue some artistic endeavour to round out my life but time is an issue. By the time you work, do family stuff in evening - monitor homework, cook, have a bit of family time, and sleep, there is not much time left.

[color:"purple"] Cross your fingers!
I have a job interview sometime today. It was scheduled for 10:30 but they haven't even conducted the first of the 3 interviews and I am the last of them. I think this is merely a formality. I think they made up their mind sometime last month but I caught them in a breech of the civil service rules and they had to start over. I think they wanted to make the appointment last month. But, then I got smart and started asking questions.
I have the most experience but not the seal of approval.
I could, at this point rave and vent about the powers that be but I won't as it would take too much emotional energy and I prefer to save it. Plus, big brother could be watching. [/color]

It was a joke - I am furious. Lots of stuff. Not just about the interview. Furious. This director guy needs to go back to Chicago or the Virgin Islands or wherever he wants to go....just leave. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Sorry it was one of THOSE interviews Rella! Gov Depts seem to be the same all over don't they? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> We can't appeal ours here except on the actual process, we used to be able to question the evaluations on each person but they stopped those. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Hope all the Neaks are going well? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Hows the writing going Neak? Chapter 3 done yet?? if not why not ??? hehehhhe gotta drive the talented ones <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> SS are you on another trip already? Only trips I get is to the shopping centre, Mikes kindy and work <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> TL are you still there?? I hear a heart beat? I'm sure it was there a moment ago ........ or was it just soft snoring ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I'm still here.
The power has been out for about 5 hours. Just came back on.
It looks like a fire along the main transmission lines caused the power to arc from one line to another, and they shut down.
Sweet dreams everyone.

I was going to do some late afternoon posts at work, but it's hard to post when the computer is shut off.
I think it was about 110F today, but it is cooling off a little bit now (It's finally getting dark.)
If it's not one thing, it's another.
Rella, so sorry about what happened. Some people have warped minds. I'm not saying who - but you would know.
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

My last boss was pretty good too - but the one I have now has serious problems. I talk to him about it all the time, but he never seems to do anything about it.
(I'm self employed)

Oh, we had a little meeting today. It was a bit loud - I don't think I was the loudest person. Thankfully. I may have committed career suicide - I told them exactly how I felt.
How the process had seemed weird to me. How I felt, when I walked into the interview, that I wasn't the lucky winner. How I felt disrespected when the man took not one but 2 phone calls during the interview. He said he shouldn't have to interrupt his day (phone wise) for the interview. I think he is a schmuck.......
Oy vey!!
He's a schmuck.

All of above I'd say Rella, as well as personally unprofessional, I wonder if he breached Public Service Standards???? he would of here.
