Hello Norbert Franz Fuhr,

Why sure I will help you. Just send me a check for $1,000,000,000.00 first for collateral. Once it clears the bank and I have the money I will be more than willing to help you. I have many friends in SA that would enjoy meeting you. Why don't you give me your physical address so that I can have them come over and "discuss" this great business opportunity with you. I am sure that if you need help you won't mind having them there. After all, they are the police and military.

Let me know, I need your physical address and $1,000,000,000.00 US dollars in hard currency before I can assist you.

If any one falls for this scam NOW, after all these years, they deserve to be bilked out of their money.

You know that is really sad. My mother and her husband recently fell prey to one of these scames even though I told her it was a scam she went ahead and sent them money and gave them their savings account info to deposite the money.

In their case it was a dead rich realative from Norway. I showed her the fleasing web site (sp) and she still refused to believe me that it was a scam. My mother is a very stubern person who things that she knows everything about everything. She firmly believed that no one could scam her because she was so clever. Well they lost $10,000.00 over all and even though she won't tell me, I heard it from Arts son that they had, she tries to play that they made money. It really is pathetic. Her pride got in the way of common sense and it cost them most of their savings.

My grandmother, 88, won't have a thing to do with a computer. Every now and them she gets a scam phone call. You know people call her saying she has won a Grant from the US GOV or that someone, "important" to her has been arrested and the need her checking account info. She is so funny when she gets these calls. She plays along and then spends the next 20 minutes or so telling them all about how her children have abandoned her or won't come over, then she ends by saying "Oh to hell with them! They can rot in hell for all care the ingrates!" and then hangs up. LOL

When the dude with a heave arabic voice called her telling her she had won a US Grant and all she had to do was give him her checking account info, she gave him some serial number off of a prescription. ROTFLMAO. She went on and on about how horrible terrorists were and how we are good people who don't deserve to be murdered.. She gave that poor bastard an earful before she gave him the bogus number. I about crapped myself when she said "ok I have my checking acount info right here" and she was holding an old prescription bottle and began reading the numbers off of it.

After she hung up, she just goes "hum" and sets the prescription down and goes over and sits down and starts to read her paper. My brother and I were in stitches. It was so cute and damn funny.

For an 88 year old women, when she is on the ball, she is on it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
