I rarely look at junk email, and this one would have gone into the bit bucket with all the others, except something I noticed caused me to look at it. Here is the email, verbatim:

quote:

So, the first laugher (besides the non-English tone of the writing) was the AOL email address. Right.

Second, he addresses himself as Mr. Bruce Johnson, but his email states DENNIS Johnson. Can't make up your mind, spammer?

Third, his area code (520) is Arizona, yet he references time by Eastern Daylight time (EDT). Sure.

Fourth, he can't decide whether the 17 million he wants to send you is inheritance money or lottery winning. Make up your mind, stupid.

Fifth, (and who would be stupid enough to send a bank account number and routing number to a stranger?), "Board" is misspelled in the closing.

Anyone want to try calling Mr Bruce/Dennis Johnson and having some fun with him? I'll bet dollars to donuts his accent will sound sub-Saharan.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Not $17 million. 17,900,000 MILLION. That’s like nearly 18 gazillion.

Well, the Federal Reserve Baord Corporation is probably gonna send you part of its income. I wonder if this should be treated as a dividend?

$17,900,000,000,000.00 doesn't go far nowadays. I hope you are modest in your wishes.
