I just gotta tell ya -

bassboogieman · 03-05-12, 01:02 PM

I shouldn’t post this – BUT I gotta tell somebody - I got an e-mail form this Nigerian lawyer a few weeks ago informing me that a guy I never met, left me 2 million pounds – I think it’s more in dollars – in his will. And if I would wire him just 10% of that amount to cover taxes and the fees for the lawyer, I would get the balance in 30 days, wired to my bank. It’s been 29 days now and I can’t wait to check my bank statement tomorrow.

I haven’t told my wife yet, I want to surprise here. I put a deposit down for a month in Hawaii, we leave in two weeks. First class all-the-way. And when we get back I’m buying her a new BMW and I get a new boat and tow vehicle. I’m so freakin’ excited I can hardly contain myself. My wife has been wondering why I’ve been so happy the last couple of weeks – I’m just busting to tell her. This is going to be the biggest surprise of her life!

Had a little difficulty raising the $200,000 to wire to Nigeria, but my bank gave me $50K on a personal loan, no questions asked, the rest I took out of my retirement account. For 30 days, I could do that. Heck, I’ll repay the loan in a couple days and put the money back in my retirement fund.

Man, tomorrow will be a day I’ll never forget…………………….

Awesome....let us know how that turns out for you, ok? You should be set for life now....

Tavery5 · 03-05-12, 01:45 PM

You are one lucky SOB, Bruce.

Man, I've had some fun with these guys in the past; sent one guy to 4 different Western Unions with a bogus number, but by far the best I've heard thus far is from some "scam a scammer" group that first sent a small amount but told the Nigerian they could send the rest only if they agreed to join their religious group and that everyone in the group had the same tattoo and that he too must get the same one and send pics of the process and completion of the tattoo before money was wired. So now some guy in Nigeria is running around with a big donkey tattoo on his neck...and no money

nofearengineer · 03-05-12, 03:03 PM

I read that same thing, Jason. Not sure if it was for real (I hope it was), but I got a lot of laughs out of it.

FIFY.

But I don't care now, tomorrow when the money hits, I'll pack them all up and send them down to my buddy 'bama.

And my new tow vehicle ani't gonna be no Matchbox Ford, either.

I always wanted a friend who was filthy rich! Especially a filthy rich friend who is confused as to what to do with his very nice 3 year old rods.
