Why does he get half? What kind of mess is that? Can I at least get four decent wheels to roll on?

You owe me because I had to get Grand ma out of jail after she did a stick up job and you are the one who let her out of the house.

Maybe you should give smaller percentages and share with more of your friends.

stargazer0725 · 10-17-2006, 04:50 PM

I vote that everyone gets at least 50%!

roybean · 10-17-2006, 07:16 PM

Grand ma is a handful....I deserve my half!

Hedwig · 10-17-2006, 07:31 PM

Don't worry--she'll have enough to make us all comfortable.

In doing some research for my latest paper for school, I stumbled across some information on what is called the 419 scam. This appears to be the first stage, because I don't see a request for credit card or bank account information.

The 419 scam promises lottery winnings or a large sum of money in an offshore account (like the Nigerian scam). The victim (winner) must first pay a fee, usually a processing fee, before the winnings are sent.

Anyway, the point of this post is to let everyone know where to report this. I had always heard that there was an agency interested in this but I had lost the information on who or how to report.

If you get an e-mail like this, forward it to the Secret Service at 419fcd@usss.treas.gov

Cool...I only reported it as spam and then deleted it...

Hedwig · 10-29-2006, 11:35 PM

I know. I had heard there was a place to report them, but I lost it. So when I came across this today I decided to post it here. That way it's archived and I can always find it.
