Hi Nick:
I wont get into why I am up at 5:30am when I should be resting, however, one would think that our email providers would have the sence, if not the where with all to keep these goof balls from sending out this trash. Here is where technology needs an overhaul !
Yes, these have been around for over 20 years now. I went so far as to keep one cash deamon on the line for a month, exchanged communcations via snail mail, sent ID's info and other materials as directed by INTERPOL AND THE USA FBI, and the State Department. What was the outcome ? An agent went to New York to meet the person that was suppose to be the contact for the money exchange, arrested him and put his scamming butt in jail. Knowing how many people this guy and his cohorts has rippped off before offered me no remorse in assting in getting this nimrod off the streets.
To answer the question, " where are they from ? " Most are in Romainia and the UK. Many will give you the impression that they are from Nigiria but they are not. There is one that was busted in January of this year (2007) that was located in Tempe Arizona and another bunch of 25 year old Russian men living in Las Vegas.
Though this may sound like an obvious pictch, the AMI Marketing Manual has some data noted about how the Internet laws are going to change in how we use this commodity- the world wide web. I for one can't wait for the day those laws are implimented.
Like my dear ole' dad use to tell us," before you buy a suit of clothes, you should have the right to try it on and to see if it fits. "
Here is a letter ( its a joke ) that I got about a week ago from a comedian friend of mine. The lesson here is obvious.
Please kind and loving child of Budda, send me 2 million dollars in crisp new fifty dollar bills banded in silver paper wrappings as soon as is truely possible, as I have been blessed by Hati The Happy Man and just found rich oil, a gold mine 75 feet wide and 82 feet wide, as well as 7, 872 rare diamonds under the old oak tree in my back yard. I need the money for development and permits, which I will buy when I get back from my research study on how to market this wealth. I will travel to Paris, then to Italy and from there, invest my days in a five week tour of The Camen Islands. About the way to send me your hard earned life savings, Cashiers checks only please, and make it out to DIZABE AWE BOHGIS INC . :) I will mail you youR 50% earnings the first day of the second week in 2028. :)
Have a nice day
Joe Buccheri
