Just a heads up to all the Gb sellers here on the forums.....

I'm coming into a lot of money soon so get ready for my BIN's bids!!!

Just got this in my email !!
"""Dear Friend,

Let me first of all inform you, I got your email address from a mail Directory and decided to mail you for a permission to go ahead. I am Mrs. Anna Blair from
United Kingdom, married to Dr. Anthony R. Blair who worked with Texaco Oil Company in Malaysia before he died in a plane crash on his way to a Board
meeting. My Husband and I were married but without any children. Since his death I decided not to re-marry and presently I am 79 Years old.
When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of $11.5M. (Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank.

Presently this money is still with the Bank and the management just Wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather Issue a
letter of authority to somebody to receive it on my behalf. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment Cancer of the lungs. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live so I think the best thing to do is to use the money for charity purposes.

I want a person who is trustworthy that I will make the beneficiary of my late Husband's Fund deposited with the bank so that the person can
get the money and utilize 70% of this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact details of the Bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you
as the new beneficiary of this fund.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here in and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds
get to your Custody. This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.

I await your urgent reply.

Regards,
Mrs. Anna Blair """"

    I kept one of these folks going for about 6 months a few years ago. I took on the personna of an elderly widow who had plenty of money and that I would love to help out the original sender. I kept coming up with excuses for not telegraphing the deposit and eventually just transmitted a fake tracking ID number. LOL
    Just invent a fake identity over on gmail or hotmail or yahoomail and have some fun with them. [:D]

    It may sound like a great deal, but you're giving 70% to charity. I got an email from a rich Widowed African cocoa merchant- she wants to give me a square ten million to guide her in the American stock market with her remaining fortune.

    If our private jets ever land at the same philanthropical dinner I will buy the first martini.

    I'm so happy for you, Bob. When you get your $11.5M, could I borrow $20.00 for a pizza & beer?
    It's too late for me, save yourself.
