Guest Firaas Posted July 28, 2003 Report Posted July 28, 2003 Got this in my inbox this morning, found it hilarious: Hello, I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display. I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms. In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit. Please transport unit in either a large brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me. Twenty-three inches in from the outside edge of the corner at the South West Corner of Cummings Ave. & Village Street in Woburn, Mass. is at Latitude 42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! (NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT ANYTHING SO FAR WITHOUT THE TRANSFER BEING DEFLECTED). I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER. Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now. After unit has been sent please email me at: [email protected] with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email. Thank You adjective vwqa

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 28, 2003 Report Posted July 28, 2003 All I get is African conmen trying to help me get a few million dollars in exchange for my bank details.
Guest fraser Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 My local rag published the Nigerian scam as if it were news a month back. Some daft council employee got stung I think.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 It was on TV last week about some guy losing all his money :) this has been around for a few years now.
Guest philgriffiths Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 I got this a week or so ago Dear Friend, This contact has become imperative based on the recent tribulation in Zimbabwe which has led to my present predicament. I am therefore using this medium to appeal to your good conscience to come to my rescue and the rescue of my family. I am Mrs. Julia Howard a widow to a white commercial farmer from Zimbabwe and I got your contact from one of our business directories. I was born and bred in Zimbabwe to the best of my knowledge,my parents and grandparents lived all their lives in Zimbabwe africa.I have also lived all my life in Zimbabwe and so has all members of my family,therefore it is right to call me a Zimbabwean though white,I am by law a Zimbabwean.I have little or no knowledge of my roots save for the fact that my forefathers as I was told,hailed from Australia,which I have never visited all my life.It is pertinent that I tell you all this so that you can come to a full comprehension of the ill treatment that we have received from the Zimbabwean government of late. The government of Robert Mugabe,president of Zimbabwe,in the year 2000 promulgated an abbysmal land law,the fast tract land resettlement program, aimed at taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe and given it to the so called poor natural inhabitants of Zimbabwe,the black Zimbabweans,who as the president claimed are the rightful owners of these land.To this effects,our lands,including the lands where our personal houses where built on have been taking from us,rendering us homeless.In pursuance to this law,the so called natural inhabitants,the black Zimbabweans,have committed serious human rights violations in the process of forcefully taking our ands from us.Many of our white brothers were maimed, killed and rendered homeless.Those of us that are alive now live infear. As the victim of this inhuman treatment,I have been rendered homeless,that I now live in a village in the far north of Manica land,Zimbabwe,where I have to travel 100 kilometers to send this mail to you.We were hoping that the international community will come to our rescue,but this hope has been dashed since all we hear is that the international community is still appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider the law,which clearly has fallen on deaf ears,since most of us have been relegated to abject poverty and homelessness while living in fear.All our properties have been confiscated including our bank accounts which have been frozen.The rest of us who managed to flee Zimbabwe at the inception of this law are now the lucky ones. My dear friend, I have lost all I worked for all my life.As a tobacco farmer I have lost both my farm land and all my financial resources in Zimbabwe.I only have one hope left,which is to leave Zimbabwe alive. I am using this medium to appeal to you to come to my rescue and that of my family by helping us get out of Zimbabwe to a safe abode,where we can start life afresh again.We have some money deposited with a courier firm in Amsterdam from an affiliate office in south africa enable us float an export and import company to facilitate the transportation of my farm produce which was costing us alot.I cannot reach the money because of my present isolation,moreover I do not have a bank account anymore in Zimbabwe to facilitate bank to bank transfer.I need your help to withdraw this money as all the documents neccessary for this withdrawal is still in my possession so that I can leave Zimbabwe as soon as possible and settle down with my family in your country.Please endeavour to try and help me as you will be greatly rewarded for your effort. I thank you for your anticipated cooperation as I await your response to this mail. Regards, Julia Howard Dont think i finished reading the first sentence before i was thinking...B*LL*CKS. Whats worring is that someone who has a bit too much of a conscience might actually be tricked by things like this. I also had a pretty funny one about some girl who was dying, and only had six months to live so i should forward her poem around the world...for her...ahhhh :cry: The problem was i had it the first time when i started uni (Three Years ago) and i had it again a couple of weeks back. Looks like things must have picked up for the little sprat!

Guest siu99spj Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 http://www.craigmcateer.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mupesa.htm That is just so unbelievable that he went so far! Really good read though, managed to keep me from falling asleep at work!!!!!
Guest fraser Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Hey philgriffiths, the dying kids chain letters you mention are sometimes genuine. As it's e-mail, there is nothing to stop them past a certain date. There was a hospital in the UK years ago that attempted to get a world record of number of get well cards for this sick kid. The kid got better, but they are still receiving cards today
Guest nobznss Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 http://www.craigmcateer.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mupesa.htm Finally got my way through that. I'm excited to see what happens next. It's going to be like a soap opera for me!!!

The kid got better, but they are still receiving cards today Most of them are crap tho just clogging up servers---esp when they say ''for every time the message is forwarded the poor kid will get 1p off the goverenment'' hmmm yeh right.
