Now when my money comes through I can sit back and do nothing while all of the Plebes here at TR are slaving their guts out and laugh. Though I did at least think that the people in the USA could spell much better than what is posted above not to mention use correct Grammar or at the very least use Capitals to start sentences and for names of things like Countries and People. :D

Actually I got a bit of a shock with this it's been over 2 years since I've got any Spam now and I'm not sure how this clown got my E-Mail Address. Most likely the ISP's been Cracked yet again. But I'll have to send them my main Bank Account Details as I just love to watch the Ballance grow. :^0

[i]edited to add[/i] What can I saw I just love this bit [b]united [u]state[/u] of america[/b] so what happened to the rest of the states did they get flooded by all the global warming and no longer exist?

share the wealth already ;) !

Ya know, it's been years since I've gotten one of those spam emails; I think the last one was over 8 yrs ago because it was before I met Darryl. You would think that folks understood by now that it's just a scam and the idiots that keep sending it out would have figured out that their "jig" is up :D !

by ansugisalas

Why doesn't someone set them up for a DDOS attack? Or at the very least a deluge of spam.

Oooh... that'd be good; post all spam reply-to addresses to places where the spam-bots harvest... it'll result in a feed-back loop cascade!!! Yee-haw! :D

by hal 9000

It came through on a Account that is the Master Account for the ISP and it's a Address that I don't give out.

The only E-Mail I get on that one is direct from the ISP warning me of my usage. So it must be official as they had to discover me E-Mail address the ISP could never have been Cracked surely. :D

Where the hell is ".mn" anyway... oh, wait, that's gotta be "Maine", that's where all that old money is, so it's gotta be legit, right?

Don't you know that you can not trust the Government so you have to deal with Individuals at their Home E-Mail Accounts. ;)

It must be real surely. :^0

That is a united state of a different stripe, with the qualifier "of Man and Nature".

-Although I'm not so sure I know the proper limit for "fkit", as, between "others" and "nature", my fkit scale always tips in the same direction.

The way I heard it, DC just nationalized the other states into one "United State"

Will you share with us plebes when you get your gazillions?

...You are a now a broke-a**, IT, so-and-so, just like the rest of us. If only you'd whispered it to us, we could all have shared in your joy. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

You broke the cardinal rule...

I hereby draw your attention to Clause I, Section B, Subsection 13, which CLEARLY states, and I quote;

"notice to recipient: this email (and any attachments) is only intended for the use of the person or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged and confidential to you, the recipient, are obligated to maintain it in a safe, secure and confidential manner."

by hal 9000

Doesn't count here.

I was the one receiving it and I did with it as I pleased. :p

I hope you are not implying that TR isn't [i]safe, secure and confidential manner. [/i] :D

...Can I have 10-large to pay my drug-dealer and pimp, maybe even the bar-bill I've been riding for a year now, and then maybe I can afford to pay the elec and gas bills.

Oh, there's also the alimony!
...
And the child maintenance, and the car loan, and third wife's maintenance... Did I mention the mistresses kids?

Oh, bother!

Do you even need to guess?

I will admit to "always" being inaccurate, upon consideration.

Like I'd tell that idiot Linkola if he'd listen; the death of a human is a very unecological affair. The more, the messier.

In offering to correct the speeling, and, grammar for these guys.

I am willing to subcontract the placement of commas if I can find someone who might meet my exacting standards.

Anyone know of an expert in commas?

:|

by maecuff

He sits in the cube next to mine and can be heard daily ridiculing others for their comma misuse. I would like to set him on fire.

by maecuff

You're safe. This guy is just over the top obnoxious. There is a constant stream of ridicule coming from the other side of the wall. No one is as smart as he is..no one can do their job as well as he does..

Mostly, I ignore him. Last week, however, his vitriol was turned toward me. And depending on how you LOOK at it, it worked out well. On the one hand, I was right and he was wrong (go me) on the other..he HATES being wrong, so I am under his microscope now. Pretty sure I'm going to have to set him on fire. It will shut him up, AND..fire pretty.

by pesk, mbcs, mcse, mcitp, sts

Please rescind my application for the above post of "Senior Comma Placement and Grammar Corrections Officer" with immediate effect.

(Now what did I do with that fire-retardant blanket?)

"Flame on!"

by robo_dev

Of course I think they also need help with capitalization, so there is a real money-making opportunity here.

Seriously, maybe I will start performing a 'scam letter writing' service for $20 USD per letter.

To sign up for my service, I need a copy of their photo ID or passport, a bank account number and routing number....

I get several of these every day, which AOL kindly deposits in the spam folder. But mostly they are Nigerian scams offering amounts like $ 6,000,000.

Through an African matchmaking site that I somehow signed up to, I get them from "orphans" in Senegal especially.

I save the photos (the girls are usually very nice looking) and tell the girls they are obviously scammers.

by jardinier

Obviously I did not understand the question. I was feeling bored and looking for a discussion that was not too technical. It is hard to find interesting off-topic threads these days, and those are all that I am qualified to participate in as I have never worked in IT.

by dmambo

I can't believe that you didn't think of just forwarding the info to a peer in Chicago (I guess the united state is Illinois) for pick-up. It'll save you the FedEx charges.

$350,000 does seem like small potatoes. This must be legit because I think scams are legally required to be for $2,500,000 or more.

by notsochiguy

I walk past the Reserve twice a day.

Forward me the bank details, and I'll make sure the money gets deposited!!

:p

by old guy

Good I feel better now. Acutally, grammatical errors drive me crazy but I learned a long time ago to keep it quiet and who I can "lovingly correct" and who I can't. It sounds like you might get to light that fire afterall. You are correct, fire is pretty!!!

by old guy

Very good. I could say you have to consider your audience sometimes but that might get me set on fire, as well. Actually, I did see that when I posted but decided to leave it. I do have to fight myself sometimes to accept errors on my part. Someone told me it would build character--I try. :)

by robo_dev

The one in Chicago is known as the 'Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago'

Obviously, banks send things like this all the time using unencrypted email. :)

by tink!

I totally read it as Federal Reserve [of] Bank of America

Which totally didn't make sense right off the bat!

The United State of America.

The thought that Maxwell has been proved wrong about Man Induced Global Warming because all but 1 state in the US has been flooded got me laughing. :D

What would you prefer Mae to do attack you with her Shovel or set you on fire?

At least when she tries to set you on fire you have a fighting chance to avoid it happening but after getting all but decapitated with Mae's Shovel on the first strike you are sort of stuffed. ;)

Staying on safe ground, your imagination wilts, the soil around your roots is spent, nourishments depleted. And then you no longer recognize satire even as it bites you on the ass.
Live a little, jump in the deep end :p

Michael Kassner's blogs are quite approachable, right now it's about credit cards. Do you have one? Then you qualify. :D

by jardinier

for the encouragement.

I joined TR in November, 2002, just before the invasion of Iraq. So there were many discussions about that. I started a number of threads, mostly about religion as that is my main field of interest.

At one time I was ranked No 30 of the top 100 in site activity.

I now mostly post at religious forums because the people stay on topic and do not start tangents of personal repartee.

The off-topic discussions over the past few years have not been anywhere near the quality of the earlier ones which consisted primarily of serious posts without the pointless chatter.

I myself love repartee but I exchange this with real (corporeal) people I encounter during the day, and do not need to use TR discussions for this purpose.

by pirate?

I get them regularly. Also from the Dept of Justice and the FBI Director himself. Most of these are automatically sent to my junk folder although a few do get through to my inbox now and then. ( I still scan my junk folder because the filters are not perfect and legitimate emails can end up there by mistake,
