I’m rich!!!

[Jstpssng]

Or at least, I will be soon. I just received this text

( 1 of 2) S:reply M:My client died 16yrs ago, Several attempts to find the relative to inherit
$6mil FAILED, Your address location matches
( 2 of 2) and I want to make a deal with
YOU

I know some naysayers here will say that it’s just a scam but they just can’t stand to see somebody else get ahead.

The poor sod died just two years after I built but I can’t imagine who he was. The only thing here was a lot of trees then, but it appears to have been a pasture at some point in time. Hey! Maybe it’s a deceased cattle baron I’ll be stealing- er, inheriting from.

Just send me $45,000 and I’ll handle all of the necessary paperwork for you.

Didn't use the word "kindly", "esquire", "respectfully" or "soonest" so your odds are 50/50

I thought you were going to say your name is Richard......

Hey in Bastan they do say Wallmat....

Be careful! It may be a scam.

I, on the other hand, am your true 2nd cousin and a Prince in my country.

I am sending you a new Kaboata tractor and need your assistance with shipping to your home address...

[oosik]

Yes - but I am true and a prince in my own mind. Now what the hell were we talking about here .......??

 

[Wagtail]

If you have any trouble getting the money I can help...

I know a Nigerian Prince who owes me a favour!

 

[dodge man]

Sorry, I already claimed it. 6 mil, US dollars that is.

 

[grsthegreat]

Sorry, I already claimed it. 6 mil, US dollars that is.

Home Depot has 6 mil plastic sheeting….probably worth more than the letter

Man, some guys have all the luck!

Not me ...... I got a recorded phone call yesterday telling me that Border Security had intercepted a parcel containing contraband and if I didn't reply immediately they would issue an arrest warrant for me. I've been hiding in the woods ever since. Oh wait a minute ....... I don't have anything coming from outside the country. Better not take any chances though. Back into the woods I go until I know for sure, lol.

So did I! And it came via an older Aussie mobile phone number (all Australian mobile numbers start with 04).

I laughed during the entire recorded message.

I'm starting to look forward to getting calls from scammers with a live person on the other end.

I really like asking them all sorts of stupid questions and such. I just wish I could be more of a quick thinker when they call. They usually hang up on me after a few minutes

 

[ruffdog]

This is the scam call I have been getting lately:

“Suspicious incoming charge of $729 on your Amazon account from Dayton, Ohio. For dispute on this charge, press one to connect with our Amazon customer care representatives.”

I waited too long and missed the boat on my big windfall. Now I’m back to getting quasi erotic texts purporting to be women but likely from a big guy named “Bubba”.
