I just won 4.5 million dollars!
I just got off the phone with some guy who told me I won 4.5 million dollars. This is the second time he has called, and last time I went through the whole pitch too.
Apparently with co operation from the US government, the FBI and the US military. Just for paying my bills on time, I get to go down to Walmart or Walgreens and purchase a 'green dot' registration card for 499.00 dollars and return home. Then I call him back and give him the # on the card and he makes sure the # on the check matches. Then he brings the check over with 2 FBI agents. And I am a millionaire! I'm rich! |

They don't. They must have some way of transferring the legit funds on the green dot card to another card or open browser window or something. Only one that loses is dipso whod be at ($499) when all was said and done. |

I was figuring he was trying to get me out of the house, so he could rob me. I told him I would run down to the walmart and would be back in 20 minutes.
I had no intention of going, but just wanted to see what would happen. All of a sudden a car pulled up in front of my house. I said 'whoa, no way'. Then I recognized them as the cleaning people. I forgot they were coming today, I am still on vacation. Yeah, the scam is. To go down to the Walmart or Walgreens and purchase a 'registration' card. He said Walmart or Walgreens would be able to verify my ID. Then I had to call him back with the # on the card and he could make sure the # on the check matches. It was such a silly scam. I couldn't believe he said the US government, FBI and the Military was backing this. The caller ID said unknown caller, but my missed call list came up as Jamaica. Man, I was looking forward to buying PARF for 4.5 million, - 499.00. |

Like my Grandpa used to say "Son, taking money from a fool is as easy as teaching a monkey to smoke". Smart man, my Grandpa.

He just called again but I didn't answer. This time the Jamaican call back # shows up on the caller ID.
I'm kind of busy right now, putting base board in our laundry room. Here is the # if anybody else wants the money, 1 876 382 0441. It says Jamaica, but who knows? |

Maybe I should just go to Walmart and get the 'registration' card. He seems really persistent to get me this money. |
