Home Owner, Truck Owner, Gun Owner's why nobody owns me!!

    I wish they were. If they listened to some of the stuff I have seen on this forum they (the Government ) wouldn't have half the problems they have now.

    If they are watching, apparently they are not taking very many of our beliefs to heart

    If the feebs weren't monitoring such sites before now, I'm sure they are now. People who insist on their Constitutional rights and are openly critical of Big Brother's good intentions are not, after all, to be trusted. Besides, if they only monitor the Islamic activist sites, that would be profiling and a terrible sin.

    I know for a fact this Forum is monitored, but it's not the FBI or BATF,........it's the Mental Health Association.

    charlie15, Yeah I got that too, It looks like a scam to get your bank account numbers or entrap you in some Homeland Defence scam. I just ignored it ... for those that haven't seen it:

    BTW - Mr. Roland Philips, If you read this: I didn't think it was necessary to keep this transaction as "secret and confidential" and only important to warn friends of your scam.

    To: kimberkid@gunbroker.zzn.com
    Subject: ASSISTANCE NEEDED URGENTLY
    From: "roland philips" Add to Contacts
    Date: Sat, Jul 6 2002 11:39:00 PM -0700

    I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a
    surprising manner. I respectfully insist that you read
    this letter carefully, as I am optimistic that it will
    open doors for unimaginable financial rewards for both
    of us.

    My name is roland philips. I am presently theDirector of
    project execution in Federal Ministry of Petroleum and
    Natural resources here in Nigeria. By virtue of my
    privileged position in the Ministry and in gover I was among the few technocrats who awarded contract
    for the Turn Around Maintenance (T.A.M) of some major
    Oil Refineries in Nigeria during the Military Regime.
    These contract amounted to US$450M(Four Hundred and
    Fifty Million U.S Dollars). While the negotiations of
    the contracts were going on, we the Civil Servants
    manipulated figures and inflated the contracts. We
    made an inflation of 10% of the total contracts sum
    with the sole aim of diverting the 10%(US$45Million)
    for our own use with the intention of presenting a Sub
    Contractor to get the money out.

    We now wish to present you as the Sub Contractor to
    getthe money transferred from the Zenith Bank of our
    country to your nominated Private/Company bank
    account that you may present to us any where in the
    World.We have decided that after the US$25M has been
    successfully paid into your account, then we will
    travel to your Country to meet you for the sharing of
    the money as follows:
    1. 30% for your assistance and co-operation.
    2. 70% as our own share.

    We hope you will assist us and we pray that you will
    be
    honest and trust worthy to us because we are
    entrusting you with a huge sum of money and we ask you
    to treat this letter in the strictest confidence.
    Every arrangement have been made to collect this money
    as the Federal Government is currently paying all owed
    contractors - both Local and Foreign.

    NOTE: This transaction is 100% risk free because
    we have carefully concluded all the ground works for
    the successful transfer of this money to your
    account.Therefore, you should not have any fear in
    you.
    BUT FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION
    WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM FOR US,YOU SHOULD PLEASE KEEP THIS
    TRANSACTION AS SECRET AND AS CONFIDENTIAL AS POSSIBLE.
    PLEASE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
    Finally, if you agree to assist/co-operate with
    us,then you can reply me immediately by sending your
    reply via email
    Please urgent response.
    Yours faithfully,
    roland philips

    A buddy of mine is part of a Fraud Taskforce. That is a scam that many thousands of people, mostly Sr. Citizens have fallen for. They get the person's bank account numbers and then clean them out. It is another example of the old if it sounds too good to be true, it most likly is.

    They would do well to say they were from another country. Nigerians are notorious paper criminals. They learn how to defraud our credit and banking systems in their schools. Then they come here on student visas and live off fraud.

    85% of Nigerian students in this country are involved in some kind of banking/credit card fraud.

    So said the Justice Dept.
