    On 7 nov. the Codex Alimentarus Commission ended it's trust fund by the rules set up by the U.N.
    Now some !@#$%^&*()_ is sending letters that you are a chosen receiver on a percent . They have done thier home work The letter is very good and researched.

    DO NOT send any info. The United States was not and is not even on the receiver list of elgible countries.

    Anti-Terrorist and International Fraud Division.
    Federal Bureau Of Investigation.
    Seattle, Washington.
    Telephone Number : (206) 973-2572

    ATTN: BENEFICIARY

    This is to officially inform you that it has come to our notice and we have thoroughly completed an Investigation with the help of our Intelligence Monitoring Network System that you legally won the sum of $800,000.00 USD from a Lottery Company outside the United States of America. During our investigation we discovered that your e-mail won the money from an Online Balloting System and we have authorized this winning to be paid to you via a Certified Cashier's Check.


    Normally, it will take up to 10 business days for an International Check to be cashed by your local bank. We have successfully notified this company on your behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank within the United States of America so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any delay, henceforth the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD has been deposited with Bank of America.


    We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to receive the winning prize as we have verified the entire transaction to be Safe and 100% risk free, due to the fact that the funds have been deposited at Bank Of America you will be required to settle the following bills directly to the Lottery Agent in-charge of this transaction whom is
    located in Lagos, Nigeria. According to our discoveries, you were required to pay for the following -


    (1) Deposit Fee's (Fee's paid by the company for the deposit into an American Bank which is - Bank of America)
    (2) Cashier's Check Conversion Fee (Fee for converting the Wire Transfer payment into a Certified Cashier's Check)
    (3) Shipping Fee's (This is the charge for shipping the Cashier's Check to your home address and this fee includes Insurance)


    The total amount for everything is $250.00 (Two hundred dollars). We have tried our possible best to indicate that this $250.00 should be deducted from your winning prize but we found out that the funds have already been deposited at Bank Of America and cannot be accessed by anyone apart from you the winner, therefore you will be required to pay the required fee's to the Agent in-charge of this transaction via Western Union Money Transfer Or Money Gram.


    In order to proceed with this transaction, you will be required to contact the agent in-charge (Mr. Sott Gilbert) via e-mail. Kindly look below to find appropriate contact information:


    CONTACT AGENT NAME: MR. SOTT GILBERT
    E-MAIL ADDRESS: fbiaggil@aol.com

    You will be required to e-mail him with the following information:

    FULL NAME:
    ADDRESS:
    CITY:
    STATE:
    ZIP CODE:
    COUNTRY:
    DIRECT CONTACT NUMBER:

    You will also be required to request Western Union details on how to send the
    required $250.00 in order to immediately ship your prize of $800,000.00 USD via Certified Cashier's Check drawn from Bank Of America, also include the following transaction code in order for him to immediately identify this transaction : EA2948-910.

    This letter will serve as proof that the Federal Bureau Of Investigation is authorizing you to pay the required $250.00 ONLY to Mr. Scott Gilbert via information in which he shall send to you, if you do not receive your winning prize of $800,000.00 we shall be held responsible for the loss and this shall invite a penalty of $3,000 which will be made PAYABLE ONLY to you (The Winner).

    I got a call earlier today, some online computer repair, said my computer was sending error and emails, my laptop is set to where I am notified first and ask if I want to send a report, I ask the guy my email, then he said it was not my email address, even thou he just told me they were getting emails. I told him I am not logging on his site to fix anything, they wanted 79.99 to fix this (problem). He said he could render my windows licence void. He was telling me I was online and sending error after error, I informed him my laptop was not even on, he was trying his best to scam me. Asian accent, I hung up on his *, the last time I had a problem, I went straight to Microsoft. I would love to find his *.

    If you have a State sales tax number,, be on the lookout..

    Got a phone call, didnt answer it because I dont pick up for phone numbers I dont recognize... Checked the number out and it said Florida Department of Revenue,, so I called it,,, First clue was the woman barely spoke english.. Said they needed to verify my return for December 2011.. 6 months ago... I told them the return was turned in on time .. The caller insisted they had no record of it,., I asked how much do you think I owe, The reply was 180.00 and I asked where do I send the check... They said No! you can take care of it by credit card over the phone,,,I told her "Dont hold your Breath" Then she said We will send you a bill... Went to the Tax office not far from here and they said,, Nope You are all straight there is no problem.. Gave em the number,, Havent heard anything yet and that was 3 weeks ago.....

    Text to Win.
    just saw a ad on the tube, you have to text to win.
    if I get this right, for every text message you send
    it cost you money, so if they can get enough saps to
    enter "thinking they have a chance of winning a tv"
    they can get rich, new tv's dont cost that much.

    I got that call a few weeks ago.
    I played along for a few minutes and then accused him of downloading pornography onto my laptop.

    He got pissed and hung up.

    I got a few of those calls and had a lot of fun with them.
    I said I had five computers and did he know which one was infected.
    My son then told him we use Ubuntu and the guy finally hung up.

    I have a co-worker (and good friend) that is from India. He taught me enough Hindi profanity to make them end the call. [:p]

    Scary part is I called Dell and they helped me with a problem and I asked them how much to put my computer back in original condition. $139.95 Told them no thanks. About 2 hours later Someone called with a worse accent and said they can fix my computer for $99.96. Could be Dell employees are in on the gravy train.

    After I loaded access, it would not run, I went on line, there was one guy that called after I talked with Microsoft, he tried to tell me I needed his services, the next day when Microsoft sent me an email, with instructions on how to connect with him, they fixed the problem free of charge, I explained I got a call from a online maintenance, he told me their tech moon lite as maintenance techs, I had the guys name, Microsoft was happy I had it, he may have gotten fired.
