They were all worded like yours (with the exception of the check part). They sounded like they were written by someone who spoke English as a second language. 69 Number 5 and the one I will keep |

That way they will have 100's of spam emails to sort through everyday! I have done it to about 20 of them so far. Jeremy 67 326 coupe theoretically yes, but that's just a theory |

"Only 30 mil...nah, not worth my time." By the way, it reminds me of what I'd like to do if I did hit the jackpot. Don't quit but call into work every day to say you're not coming in again because you're still rich. Do that every day until they give you severance. Of course, that's easier said than done. I worked with a young guy years ago who had a 9-5 clerical job who won 3.3 million. He didn't quit right away but took a couple weeks off to "think about it", then quit. Just quit...jeez! It left his co-workers to play short-handed that whole time. Mark 68 Firebird 350 auto (sold) |

![]() Montreux_Blue Member Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,911 | Plus I've never heard of a BARRISTER in the US, I think it is more of a British term. Do they have them in Canada? And setting them up with the spam usually takes a little while but totally worth it to me, just wish I could see their face when they open their email after it! I'm so tired of them posting ridiculous ads on Craigslist over and over, and they are always around $3,000, who falls for this crap? Jeremy 67 326 coupe theoretically yes, but that's just a theory |
