Hello,

I am Dr Mrs Luisa Estrada, 65 years old, wife of former head of state and
President of Philippines) I have a sensitive, confidential brief and I am
asking for your partnership in re- profiling funds($18,000,000.00USD).
Would someone actually fall for that?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of old or otherwise diminished-capacity people with access to money. Whether it goes to TV preachers or Nigerian scammers, the result is the same.

I don't even understand it, but I'm a tad short of 18 million, so I guess I'm ineligible.

I guess I'm too pale to pass for a Nigerian? I could use some of that "re-profiled" money.

Unfortunately, our own government is scamming us out of about 4 trillion per year.

Makes these Nigerian amateurs look like 3 card Monte street cons.

The Kenyan scam is way worse than those Nigerian scams...

My idiot cousin did... He actually bought two BMW from the dealership with a postdated cheque. Why two? because the idiot wanted a special one only for weekends and he actually calculated the interest of the $40,000,000 and thought it was safe.. and all this while bragging to everyone in the fam..

Of course the cars never left the dealership, he's probably still waiting for the money.. Probably is still sending them money, Idiot.

Hilarious! But judging from appearance of his office furnishings not enough people are falling for it.

edit: this also looks suspiciously like little Amanda Jenkins, age 14, from Easton Middle School :rolleyes:
