      I win something via email

      In reply to I’m a winner!

      about ten times per week. At least. I don’t even open them, just empty the suspicious mail folder after making sure no one I want to hear from is in there.

      Hmmm… I did win $3 on Powerball yesterday. 😀

        It also somehow managed to bypass the spam filters and make it to the in-box. That’s what surprised me most.

      Just reply. They’ll ask for more info.

      Either they’ll want your ATM card and PIN numbers, just so they can do a direct deposit, or they’ll need you to send them a couple of hundred pounds to cover tax and wire transfer costs.

        can act as the middleman. Scummy can do the wire transfer for 1/2 the cost, and throw in the Tax fee’s for free…

        Just send me your credit card #’s, security #’s, PINS, and ATM card and PIN’s.
        Make sure to send the 3 digit security code as well!

        QUICK! Leave while you still can!

        by captbilly1eye ·

        In reply to Introduction

        Once you stay for very long, you get addicted and can never leave. Well, not without intervention anyway.

        😉

        Besides, we have enough ‘Bills’ here already.
        😀

        If you must stay… a few words of caution… beware of those bearing shovels.

        • #2802475

          Good advice!

          Thanks for the heads up!

          Yeah, there are too many “Bills” everywhere, but ya know, I had nothing to do with the name, I was just there at the time.

          I look forward to chilling with you peeps.

          In reply to Addicted

          We gotta lookout now! He looks like he’s gonna stay :0 :0

          Since you appear to wanna stay with the loon club, a few more pieces of advice.

          If you run across The BALTHOR — dont freak out. Also, you may get slammed if you attack BALTHOR cause most of us like s/he/it anyway. You will know when you run into The BALTHOR.

          If you happen accross a thread about hacking/cracking/stealing, etc.. And Scummy responds (the Scummy One, Pond Scum, ScumDog, etc.) (my alter ego :^0 so I’ve been told :0 ) do not follow his advice, it will leave you with a trashed system or certain death.
          However usually I/we are harmless :^0

          Most of us like to have a bit o fun here, so you may find humor in the strangest place. If you have a sense of humor, you should get along, well, at least as well as some of us others :0

          I hope I didnt scare ya away, a new mind to twist is always welcome
          Bwahahahahaha

          Enjoy TR. There are some pretty amazing folks here.

          And did I mention, “Beware The Scummy One.”? :0

        • #2782587

          Indeed.

          by boxfiddler ·

          In reply to Uh-Oh

          Do please treat BALTHOR with care.

        • #2782608

          Major intervention at that.

          It would take an act of God to drag me away from here. 😀

      Hi Nick,

      You poor bar$tard. You obviously don’t move in the right circles.

      I’ve just checked my junk folder and have won 16 draws, totalling about 13.5 million (don’t know what currency, though a lot are GBPs and Euros) in just the last WEEK.
