Medley of extemporanea Posted June 20, 2002 Share your interesting spam with us: here is a funny one I recieved the other day. ================ We are desperately looking for 100 lazy people who wish to make lots of money without working. We are not looking for people who are self-motivated. We are not looking for people who join every 'get rich quick' scheme offered on the Internet. We are not looking for class presidents, beautiful people, career builders or even college graduates. We don't even want union workers or trade school graduates. We want the laziest people that exist - the guys and gals who expect to make money without lifting a finger. We want the people who stay in bed until noon. We want those of you who think that getting out of bed to go lay on the couch is an effort that is best not thought about. If you meet these criteria, go to: idontwanttowork0605@hotmail.com and type in the Subject Line the following words: "I do not want to work". In fact, if you are so lazy that typing those words in the Subject line is an effort, than don't bother. Just click on the email and we'll know that you want us to send you the domain name anyhow, because then we will be absolutely certain that you are the kind of person we want. In case you haven't figured it out yet, we want the kind of people who DO NOT take risks. If you are the kind of person who will consider doing something that's NOT a 'sure thing', then do NOT respond. This is too easy a way to make money and there's no challenge in it. If you can get to the website that we are going to email you, you will be able to see the first home business in history that requires no work. NONE. By clicking on this email and then going to this website, you will be telling us that you want to make enough money that you can quit your regular job and sleep all day.

As a matter of fact, we don't even want you to hear from us again if the idea of making lots of money without working does not interest you. So this is the first and last email we will ever send you.

Pujah. Posted June 25, 2002 FINALLY A CHAIN LETTER THAT I LIKE! Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion phucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor phucking 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freakl show. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send his email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy Bunny in the magazine! What a bunch ! of phucking bullshit. So basically, this message is a big PHUCK YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Ceaser in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity. Phuck them! If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly ******* amusing. I've seen all the 'send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a Nickel from some omniscient being forwards about 90 times. I don't phucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances ! are it's your own unpopularity. THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS: Chain Letter Type 1: (scroll down) Make a wish!!! Keep Scrolling No, really, go on and make one!!! Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!! Wish something else!!! Not that, you pervert!! STOP!!!! Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes: *Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending the! m a stupid chain letter. *Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. *Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life. *Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house. Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!! Chain Letter Type 2 Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of countin! the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!! Chain Letter Type 3 Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works... Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like: *Bizarre Horror Story #1 Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over! a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!! *Bizarre Horror Story #2 Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!! Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay. Chain Letter Type 4 As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to all your friends. FRIENDS: A friend is someone who is always at your side. A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood. A friend is some! one who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of assholes. A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself. A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life. A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to vicious dogs. A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English...no, sorry that's the cleaning lady. A friend is NOT someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true. Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again! The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana wit! h no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only savior is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right? Now forward this to everyone that you know otherwise you'll find all your knickers missing tomorrow morning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. Hence we are writing you this letter.

H Posted August 1, 2002 FROM:FESTUS KABILA 33 OXFORD STREET ILLOVO, SANDTON TEL: +27-83-686-3080 FAX: +27-72-112-4799 URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE Dear Hashi, This letter may come to you as a surprise due to thefact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but reel if you pay some attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains. I am Mr.Festus Kabila, son of the late Laurent Kabila President of Congo DRC who was assassinated on the 16th of January 2001 by one of his military aides. I managed to get your contact details through “The World Business Journal”, a journal of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I was desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business. On the 17th of May 1997, my late father and President Laurent Kabila took over the power after toppling the previous dictator, the late President Mobutu Sese Seko. After officially taking over as Head of State on the 29th of May 1997, my late father, President Desire Laurent Kabila, a former rebel leader met with some Tutsi factions from the region of Goma, East of the country with the assistance Rwandese,Uganda and Burundese forces. My late father, President Laurent Kabila made me in charge of purchasing armaments in the Republic of South Africa for an amount of US$15.5 MILLIONS(fifteen Millions Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars} in cash. That amount of money was transferred in South Africa through diplomatic channels. After his death, being in Johannesburg, South Africa, I decided to keep that money for personal use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in Johannesburg. I am currently and temporarily living in Johannesburg while waiting for the appeal lodged by lawyer on my behalf to the Department of Home Affairs, for my refugee status’ application. I am having difficulty getting the money out of South Africa because the South African monetary policy is not favorable to people like myself who have no permanent residence status. Moreover the political climate in South Africa at the moment being so sensitive and unstable, investing here would only limit my chances and reduce my opportunities. In acknowledgment of executive powers and the various business opportunities in your country, I am requesting your assistance in helping me transfer this money in your personal or business account. After the transfer is accomplished, I will then follow you for subsequent investments there. For your assistance in this transaction, I offer you 30% of the total sum for compensation. And all other expenses you incur during this operation will be credited to you. If you need further details concerning this business, please do not hesitate to contact me. All documents concerning this transaction and money will be available to you on request I must then emphasize that this operation or transaction is highly confidential and is to be kept as such. If this proposal is of interesting to you, please provide me with you private phone and fax numbers ,and you can call me on this my phone number for more details . Thanks and God bless you, Yours faithfully FESTUS. KABILA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Towards the ending of the year 2000, I and his excellency President Kabila was contemplating on the issue of providing adequate and more serious security on his side,we contemplated over this matter for some days before we bring it in a nutshell. to see that this issue was executed the president personally mandated/instructed me on 11th january 2001 to create and equip fully special army elite cops to protect him against any secret mission by the rebels.This instruction was highly discreet and confidential and was backed-up with the sum of Twenty Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars [uS$26.7Million] in cash for the purchase of the arms and ammunition for the ellite cops from the republic of South Africa[RSA]. I was in the progress of negotiating the purchase of the arms and ammunition from ARMSCOR, before then unbelievable sudden tragic event took place on the 17th january.

Medley of extemporanea Posted August 26, 2002 Dear Friend, I am Mr Dudley Rogers, the secretary of Commercial Farmers union branch in the region of matabeleland,Zimbabwe. After the last general elections in my country where the incumbent president MR. Robert Mugabe won the presidential election, the government has adopted a very aggressive land reforms programme. This programme is solely aimed at taking the land owned by white African farmers for redistribution to black Africans. This programme has attracted worldwide condemnation from world leaders including British prime minister,MR Tony Blair and also forced several white farmers to flee the country for fear of victimization and physical abuse. Two weeks ago, our headquartes in Harare was attacked and looted by black protesters and in the process burnt down the whole building. Fortunately,they did not get access to the huge funds kept in the strong room which belong to the co-operation. This cash was kept at the secretariat rather than in the Bank for fear of seizure by the government. Now I have the funds in my possession and would need to get it invested in a viable business venture in Europe or Asia. Once I can get your commitment and sincerity of investing this funds on our behalf then I would proceed to get the funds freighted to Europe, where you would be required to pick it up for investment for us. You do not have anything to worry about as I would undertake all charges involved in freighting the funds to Europe, please note that this is legal as I have the mandate form Mr Max Crawford,the president of the union to get the funds out as fast as possible. You would be compensated for all your effort once we have gotten the funds to Europe. Please get back to me if you can be of assistance and I would want our correspondence to be via email as most phone lines of white farmers are bugged by the government. I expect your confidentiality and your prompt response to this mail so as to proceed.you should only reach me on dudleyrogers@golfemail.com. Kind regards, Dudley Rogers.

Medley of extemporanea Posted September 23, 2002 This is from http://www.freep.com/news/locoak/checks21_20020921.htm September 21, 2002 Law firm out $2.1 million in African fraud BY DAVID ASHENFELTER FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER He introduced himself as Dr. Mbuso Nelson. He said he was an official with the Ministry of Mining in Pretoria, South Africa. And he offered to pay a $4.5-million fee to a 59-year-old Rochester Hills woman if she would help him transfer $18 million from South Africa to a bank account in the United States. RELATED CONTENT Mike Wendland: Despite warnings, Americans continue to lose millions to Nigerian con artists But what Ann Marie Poet did next gave new meaning to the so-called Nigerian scam letter fraud, the FBI said. The FBI said Poet, a bookkeeper for a small Berkley law firm, embezzled $2.1 million from the firm's accounts between February and August, after scam organizers persuaded her to wire huge amounts of money to bank accounts in South Africa and Taiwan to expedite the transfer of money to the United States. "It's unbelievable that she fell for this," said FBI Special Agent James Hoppe, who is investigating the case. "She was gullible -- gullible and had access to $2.1 million." Poet was indicted this week by a federal grand jury in Detroit on 13 counts of wire fraud. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If she's convicted, she'll likely face three years in prison, federal officials said. Poet was advised of the charges during an initial appearance before a federal magistrate in Detroit on Friday. She came to court alone and left without comment. Hoppe said the perpetrators of the fraud contacted Poet by fax in January and promised her that all she had to do to get her $4.5-million fee was to open a bank account. After she agreed to help, Hoppe said, the scammers told Poet the money was on its way. But as inevitably happens, Hoppe said, they later told Poet there were problems -- fees, commissions and taxes that had to be paid. In the months that followed, Hoppe said, Poet wired amounts ranging from $9,400 to $360,000 to offshore accounts. She never received her fee. The alleged scam ended Sept. 4, when the Olsman Mueller & James law firm was told that a $36,000 settlement check to a client had bounced. Jules Olsman, president of the firm, said he contacted the firm's bank to find out what happened. After getting the runaround, he said, he called the FBI and eventually found out what Poet had done. Hoppe said she drained all of the firm's accounts. "This is just absolutely beyond description," Olsman said Friday, noting that Poet had worked for the firm for nine years and often scrutinized expenditures she deemed questionable by other employees. He said Poet, who quit coming to work after Sept. 4, is married and is very active in her church. But as angry as he is with Poet, Olsman said, he's even more annoyed with Bank One. He said a manager at a Southfield branch, whom Poet befriended, approved all of the wire transfers even though Poet was not authorized at the bank to make such transfers. Bank officials declined to discuss the specifics Friday. "We don't comment on customer relationships," said Bank One spokeswoman Mary Kay Bean. "All businesses need to have the right accounting and financial controls, and we urge our customers to be diligent about checking their balances." Olsman's lawyer, Mayer Morganroth of Southfield, said the forms the bank used to make the transfers clearly indicated that the manager should have called the law firm to verify the transfers. Olsman said his insurance won't cover the loss, but that he plans to make good on the losses: "Not one client of our law firm will be out one penny." He also said he plans to sue the bank. Hoppe said there's no evidence the bank manager was in on the scam. He also said there's little hope of recovering the money or arresting the culprits. The Nigerian scam letter scheme has been around since the mid-1980s and originated there. People usually are approached through letters, faxes and, more recently, e-mail. Every month, hundreds of Americans fall victim to versions of the scam, federal authorities say. In some cases, victims lured abroad to complete the transaction are kidnapped for ransom. The U.S. State Department has attributed 15 kidnappings or killings to the fraud. Hoppe said people need to use common sense when they receive such offers. "Nobody is going to call someone they don't know and offer to pay millions of dollars to help transfer money to the United States unless they're up to no good," Hoppe said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Gorland said the law firm is the victim -- not Poet. "You can't use somebody else's money to follow one of these get-rich schemes," she said. "If you use your own money, the worst thing you will be is a fool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
