Yo, Joe!

The author of the message is illiterate, stupid, and absolutely dishonest.

What more could you ask for?

We have those qualities in many of our politicians, and everyone knows that they're always giving away something for nothing.

Angh! Go ahead and try it. What can you lose?

(Think about that last question before you contact this criminal.)

 

They want your banking information. Don't respond to it!

I love the 419ers and variants that spring up... I saw an article in (I think it was) The Register recently about one where the sender was masquerading as a hitman saying he would kill the person by 'snipping' them if they didnt pay...

Its too much sometimes... Post Mortem report... they were snipped to death.
