What are you talking about?!?
I got my 10 million already, right after I got a wire transfer for the $25K for my flatty to go to africa.....LOL. Damn Prop Chuckers.

I get at least 2-3 of these types a week. Mostly signed from various dudes in Africa somewhere.

[DickDanger]

Well, I cant believe that anyone could actually fall for this type of stuff. I have to guess that somebody out there has probably sent their money, and then waited at the bank for a transfer that will never come...lol. -DD Out

my company receives those all the time, mail, phone, email. i forward them to the attorney general's office and they send to FBI. this type of thing has been going on for at least 5 yrs.

You'd be suprised at the number of people who do fall for this scam. They did a story on this on one of the major news networks, and gave sob stories of people that did fall for the scam. My response to these emails is to put the sender on spam mailing lists.
