Anyobne ever seen this one before? I get these things all the time but have never seen one like this.

My Greetings

I am Mr Michael Madar, retired U.S. stock broker living in the USA. I am

contacting you to give you a financial aid of 100.000,00 Â Hundred

Thousand Euro so you can realize your dream or resolve your financial

problems at this time of global economic meltdown.

Do not be surprised by this offers as it sound very surprising because I

undertake this action so that the Lord God Almighty will forgive me all

these acts of deception and swindling I have committed for more than 30

years since I practiced flying and by cheating the honest families and

individuals who have placed blind faith in me and giving me their

economies and wealth.

I do a lot of unsavoury things in my life, I made a lot of people unhappy

just for my own interest, and all these repacautions are visiting me back

in my heart today because I can no longer live long because of cancer of

the lung which I am suffering today. So I took a flight this evening to

Cuba for a lung medical exermination and operation that "may allow me live

for more years. So I went to see this effective spiritual counsellor who

after confession ' advised me to donate and help people which are in

financial need for the development projects of their dreams and with much

of this funds I lodge raised in a bank in Benin Republic to avoid high

rates of European taxes .

I can confirm to you that the financial assistance I am giving you is

risk free, because by accepting this little offer I am giving you, I will

be free from all the broaden in my heart now and I will like to assure

you that everything is legitimate and legal and all the procedure for

transfer of these funds will be initiated by contacting my lawyer in Benin

who will do all Necessary confirmation with you.

In case you are interested, please contact the lawyer on the following

email address: ( infocabamorinbj1@ymail.com )Tel/+229-97989972.May the

name of the Lord, the creator of Heaven and Earth, bless and favour you

and this fund will benefit you in the right direction, and I advise you to

keep this very confidential and pray for my survival.

Sincerely

Mr Michael Madar

It takes a special kind of low life to bilk people in the name of the Lord. Shame on whoever sent it to you.

Thanks everyone. Collier does have beautiful flowers, but for me it has been an underperformer and most of you may have noticed that I'm a performance nut. I wonder if it has a better bud count elsewhere. Val

I grew it for years. The shifting colors were always beautiful, and that smokey layer was so unusual. It was one of the last to bloom here; being a bud builder it just kept hanging in there. Learned after a few years not to cut the scapes down too soon. Mine finally bit the dust over winter one year (in a pot outside), and just no room to add it again. I would if I could..........Maryl

I'm curious as to what "broaden in the heart" is? Is that a new illness? ;-P
If he feels so guilty about making all this cash by ripping off families who trusted them, surely it would make him feel even better if he gave the money back to THEM?
Sadly I have no doubt someone will fall for this scam.

From the English, I'm guessing the gentleman is from Nigeria.

LOL - the guy has an imagination, even if he can't spell.

You might want to send it to the FTC and to the local newspaper. Sometimes the papers print these as warnings. (And because they are funny.)

So sad to think of the people who will fall for this type of scam.

What an act! Here's a swindler confessing to being a life long swindler and he's trying to swindle again.

The swindle could be that telephone number. If that is an off-shore international number, you might get hit with a hugely inflated phone bill. Scams like this has surfaced over the past year. The off-shore "service" charges upward of $200 per minute. Delaying tactics are used during the call to up the time. The caller is none the wiser until the charge appears on his next phone bill. Charges up to $2000 are not unusual. A less ambitious scammer may charge a smaller amount, say $20, in hopes you will pay the bill to get rid of it rather than to go through the process of refuting the bill.

Setting up shop off-shore puts the operation beyond the reach of US agencies.

I've seen them in different forms. Been around for 10 years! Started out with faxes. A few points:

Why do people even open these emails? I know some people can't NOT answer a phone and feel compelled to open each and every email along with the attachments and then can't figure out why their machines are infested with viruses, spyware and malware.

You don't have to be from Nigeria to be unable to spell or use proper grammar. Listen in any public place, read some things written by college kids these days and, well, you get the idea.

It must be legitimate, right? He confirms it and assures you it's all hunky-dory.

Sheesh. Anyone who gets sucked in by these things deserve what they get. It's a greed tax and stupidity tax combined.

The first thing that creeped me out is that I KNOW a Michael (Mike) Madar! LOL Hopefully his English is better than that. After all, he went to Des Arc High School! LOL

P.T. Barnum - "sucker born every minute". Guys like Mr. Madar depend on that.
