Default I\'m gonna be rich! (again)

Just recived this email. I decided to go ahead and let all you in on it, since I am still kinda tied up waiting for the 7 million that I am getting from Mr. Tutu from Nigeria anyway. They say to keep it on the QT, but this is just being shared with a few of my ifish friends. Surely they won't mind...

I bet there is lots more money in this fund though! One of you may qualify!

Funny thing is, I don't remember ever actually entering this contest...

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Just keep it quiet and all I am sure the next step is to give them my nominated bank account number. Then I will get the cool mil, right!?

Maybe I will use the same bank account number the Nigerians are going to use to deposit my money. Well, there is some sort of mixup going on there, though. Somehow the transfer process apparently got turned around and the silly bank in Nigeria took all the money out of my account instead of depositing the 7 mil in. But Mr. Tutu wrote me to say everyone would be fine real soon.

The Netherlands is probably much better anyway...

Hog, if you don't want the money I will take it. Don't forget, there is a tuna boat we need to buy and I bet there would be a few dollars left over to buy fishing gear. Is this taxable income?

I am sure that between Mr. Tutu and Mr. Smith we can find a way for tax avoidance. Maybe we can just harbor the boat offshore!

Bobby, just go ahead and post your banking information here and I will make sure Mr. Smith gets it! :grin:

You would think for such a "Reputable" organization they would have better grammer. This thing is almost painful to read. Almost makes you want to email them and find out what the scam is. Maybe I will do that....

Thank you for your generosity Hog, it is great to see how ifisher's are willing to share. The following is my account number.

No:Nowayinhell

Keep me posted when I can pick up the money as I went to do my share for the economy and spend, spend and spend some more. Of course, if you run into any trouble with Mr. Smith and Mr. Tutu give me a call and I will contact my buddy George in Washington D.C. and he will make things right for us.

sturgn -

That is an absolute hoot!

Prey on those who prey on the weak. Or is that pray? LOL

I particularly liked when Father Bateyoo Reelgud had the horrible accident in the Skittle Harvester. The photo is great!

Get the predatory morons!

Really lepper? You must be one of the other 20 winners! Imagine that. Two of us ifishers winning out of all the millions and millions of people that must have entered.

I'm still having trouble remembering when and where I entered though... Maybe it was at the ifish picnic?

Gary, don't you remember those tickets Jennie was selling on the deck. Maybe she gets a commission.

Ok...now someone needs to go for the gusto...get one of these scamers to send them some seed money in order to open the secure account that only they can have access to...

Obviously the account will have a few mill in it, but the seed money is needed for the bank fees to open a joint account...you know, pretty routine stuff to charge these initial fees to open an account with a couple mil in it...
