I am very sorry bulging into your privacy unannounced. I am Mr. Dickson Umana ( attorney at law ) and the personal counsel to late Mr. Robert L. Streit, who by virtue of fact, shared the same surname with you hence my contacting you now. He made a fixed deposit of US$12.5 without a beneficiary and I seek your approval to present you to the bank as the sole beneficiary to the funds so that the proceeds shall be processed, approved and transferred to you with my help as his personal lawyer. Upon your interest in this, kindly contact me for more details by this email: dicksonumanachambers@gmail.com

Regards,
Dickson Umana Esq
Wow. $12.50 offer?

Wow, only twelve and a half bucks.

I received email notice I am getting 2.5 million. At least that is what the email subject says. I just tagged it as spam.

I received the call on my home phone recently that some dude with a very thick Indian accent said my computer had contacted him and he was going to help me eliminate a virus. I told him that was nice. Most low life scum ball POS liars like him are just trying to steal from me. Then I hung up, My wife then told me I was rude to him

I agreed and I told her I will always continue to be very rude to all thiefs, scammers and liars and politicians.

I intercepted a call at the office yesterday from a competitor fishing for my competitive information...

She was calling from the Mike D. Day Law Firm...I peppered her with questions for 6mins as she squirmed then scolded her on doing a bad job as a scammer. Was great fun.

You could have saved some typing and just said "politicians"...that would have covered all your bases

Got the same call. Said he was "Bob from Omaha." I let him go through his script about how my windows computer had a virus and the end was neigh. I then explained to Bob that I was "currently running a mac at home....silence...click...How rude..."

Get a whistle and place it by the phone Glen. A little symphony of the streets will make any scammer's day.

Rachel from cardservices calls a few times a day. If I have the time and opportunity I like to play with them. My thing lately is to see how many times I can call them mother trucker before they hang up.

Hello sir how are you today?
I am fine mother$$$$$$ how are you.

I continue prefacing each reply with "Well mother$$$$ I will be happy to give you my cards expiration date and security code Mother$$$$.

Its great fun, the most I have gotten was 7 before being hung up.
