Well, that was a little guy ON the box...
Clearly, this thread ain't rated G for general audience! Gives a new meaning to G for girlie, too. :-)
:))
hopefully it will not be "monitored"
always suspected, that the German site has no mod, now I know there is, my post got "monitored" today :(
that was hilarious! how can i not annoy my friends and family with this one.
oh no! not the man in the box again! ;D
Sorry to hear that, graylox. Monitoring of one sort or another goes on at all levels, and the effects are usually never good. Consider government "monitoring." We have here in the US an FCC ruled by conservative zealots who think nothing of fining broadcasters for exposing a human body part and think nothing of threatening PBS for daring air an excellent and brutally honest portrayal of war, while they permit television scripts that contain increasingly crude language and they never bat an eyelash when presidential candidates (as well as elected officials) of all stripes consistently lie through their teeth to the public. The world is upside down.
Yes, the bottom line is the same here, a number smaller as by our big brother over there, you may show and look at which bellybotten ever, so long as you don't start looking around and start thinking. Be happy and learn to pray. And everything is good - for Mr. Deutsche Bank, Mr. ...and som Misses. Therefore I left that cynical circus after 30 years hard work.
Hey.. now I'm going to be rich! Just got the following email today:
Dear Friend,
I am conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of our Bank. This investigation involves a client and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client with our Bank.
Our client died intestate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with our bank.
The aim of this communication is for you to provide us with information/comment on this issue so that I can use my position in the bank to establish your eligibility to assume status of successor in title to the deceased.
You must appreciate that we are constrained from providing you with more detailed information at this point.
Please respond to this mail as soon as possible to afford us the opportunity to explain further.
Regards,
Patrick Berger

copmom,we were always best friends, and I shall come over to you straight to count the $$$, you are not alone, count on me, your best friend G.
I got one from Togo a few mins ago. I am just letting the money pile up over "there". I also won the UK lotto AGAIN. :)
i have won the bmw lottery so many times.
i am very lucky that they do not have a limit on how many times you can win, because i am a winner at least twice a week.
i also get so many offers to "increase my manhood", these must be left over from a past life. these particularly make me laugh, because my e-mail address is so obviously female.
we should all start a new forum....the millionaire's club!

"we should all start a new forum....the millionaire's club!"
Right. Until then, here's one of the better(and looonger) scams that I've gotten.
Name: Daniel Cole
Contact Email:danielcole[**]@yahoo.co.uk
Good Day ,
I am Daniel Cole, staff of International Private Banking at HSBC Bank.
I am contacting you concerning a deceased customer and an investment he
placed under our banks management three years ago. I would respectfully
request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect
the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail.I contacted you independently of our investigation and no one is informed
of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts
that I believe would be of interest to you. In 2001, the subject matter
came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private
banking division. He informed us that he had a financial portfolio of
Forty Eight Million Three Hundred And Fifty Thousand United
StatesDollars($48,350,000.00 USD) ,which he wished to have us turn
over(invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his case, I was
made numerous suggestions in line with my duties as the de-facto chief
operations officer of the private banking sector, especially given the
volume of funds he wished to put into our bank. We met on numerous
occasions prior to any investments being placed. I encouraged him to
consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my
advise to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional
stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments.Based on my advice, We spun the money around various opportunities and
made attractive margins for our first months of operation, the accrued
profit and interest stood at this point at over ten million United States
Dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the fund but he desired
low risk guaranteed returns on investments.In mid 2002, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to
make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in here in the United
Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate the funds and deposit it with a
security firm here in London. I informed him that HSBC would have to make
special arrangements to have this done and in order not to circumvent due
process, the bank would have to make a 9.5 % deduction from the funds to
cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges
but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task
he was asking of us. Cash movement across boarders has become especially
strict since the incidents of 9/11. I contacted my affiliate in here in
London and made the funds available to the security firm. I undertook all
the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the
letter and had the funds deposited at the London based security
consultancy firm, Corporate Securities Co.is a specialist private firm
that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip
corporations that handle valuable products or undertake transactions that
need immediate access to cash. This small and highly private organization
is familiar especially to the highly placed and well-connected
organizations. In line with Instructions, the money was deposited with
Corporate Securities Co. The deceased told me he wanted the money there
in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week.This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 25th June
2003. In June last year, we got a call from Corporate Securities
Co.informing us that the activity of that particular portfolio. This was
an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I
managed the private banking sector I was the only one who knew about the
deposit at Corporate Securities Co, and I could not understand why the
deceased had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts
to locate the deceased. I immediately passed the task of locating him to
the internal investigations department of HSBC. Four days
later,information started to trickle in, apparently our client was dead. A
person who suited his description was declared dead of a heart attack in
Cannes, South of France.We were soon enough able to identify the body and cause of death was
confirmed. The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible
surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come
forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking
affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but
also some levels of detachment from conventional processes. In his
bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking
opening an account with us means no one will know of its
existence,accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers
and codes to make the accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice
to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank
itself,ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said,
rarely do they nominate next of kin.Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually
in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; the deceased died
without a testament .In line with our internal processes for account
holders who have passed away, we instituted our own Investigations in good
faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This
investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned
every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to
get to the root of the problem. It is this investigation that resulted in
my being furnished with your details as a possible relative of the
deceased. My official capacity dictates that I am the only party to
supervise the i nvestigation and the only party to receive the results of
the investigation. What this means, you being the last batch of names we
have considered, is that our dear late fellow died with no known or
identifiable family member. This leaves me as the only person with the
full picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the
deposit and the late beneficiary of the deposit.According to practice, Corporate Securities Co will by the end of this
financial year broadcast a request for statements of claim to HSBC,
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the
deposit back to HSBC. This will result in the money entering the HSBC
accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of
the private banking division. This will not happen if I have my way. What
I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to
understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who
finds the internal pol itics of the banking world aberrational.The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for
those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You
should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what
Ipropose. I alone have the deposit details and they will release the
deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so. I alone know of the
existence of this deposit for as far as HSBC is concerned,the transaction
with our late customer concluded when I sent the funds to corporate
securities, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just
customer services and due process. Corporate Securities Co. has no single
idea of what the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply
awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes
forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money
trying to track this mans family; they have investigated for months and
have found no family. The investigation has come to an end. My
proposal;you share similar details to the late fellow; I am prepared to
place you in a position to instruct Corporate Securities Co to release the
deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the
deposit,I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will
simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit
to you.We share the proceeds 50/50.I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be
released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my
involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the
deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank
of the final closing of the file relating to the deceased I will then
officially communicate with Corporate Securities Co and instruct them to
release the deposit to you. With these two things: all is done.The alternative would be for us to have Corporate Sec urities Co direct
the funds to another bank with you as account holder. This way there will
be no need for you to think of receiving the money from Corporate
Securities Co. We can fine-tune this based on our interactions. I am aware
of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest
in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not
be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete
this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career
because you do not approve of my proposal.You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out
of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a
criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be
hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that
I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones' way once in a
lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for on ce I find myself in
total control of my destiny. These chances wont pass me by. I ask that you
do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let
me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this
is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a
reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have
evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to
work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this
situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you
into the center of relevance in my life. Let share the blessing. If you
find yourself able to work with me, contact me through this same email
account. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process
towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via
official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I
repeat, I do not want you con tacting me through my official phone lines
nor do I wouldnt you contacting me through my official email account.
Contact me only through the numbers I will provide for you and also
through this email address. I do not want any direct link between you
andme. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically
monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total
Quality Management Policy.Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a
family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a
measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that
nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come
easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learnt from my
private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one
accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.I await your response.
Daniel Cole.

what is trying to do, bore you into submission?
i love how he tries to justify and rationalize his lack of ethics.

Copmom, Pat Berger is the nom de plume used on that (and many other) spam letters. IMHO, anyone who is so greedy and unbelievably stupid as to fall for that particular con kinda deserves to be separated from his/her money.
Can anyone tell me what Hauskaa Vappua has to do with "A BRAND NEW 2007 HAUSKAA VAPPUA MERCEDES BENZ CAR"? I guess I'm going to be driving this expensive car in Finland while eating doughnuts and getting drunk. Are there any laws against this in Finland? I could probably bribe myself out of trouble with the 1.700.000 POUNDS!

Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to let you know that we are only giving away 250 more copies of our popular "Internet-in-a-BOX" marketing kit. In about 8 0r 9 minutes they will most likely be all gone.
Press here before you become the 251st person:
http://pumpkincarrot.com/t/qm8h3jb9m/9857dv739718
After the last copy is given away we have no choice but to sell it again at the original $497.00 price. This kit has turned thousands of people into instant millionaires, so you should really want one. We will give you one of the 250 that we have remaining for no cost if you get it before 250 people beat you to it.
I would say that you have about 8 or 9 minutes before they are all gone.

Maybe it's better I'll get another name, more female ?
graylox- as i've said before, i have an obviously female e-mail addy and i still get a ton of "increase your manhood" offers.
:D
Is it possible, that we are making something wrong ?
sorry graylox- i don't understand what you mean.
??
Oh, I mean, why don't I get those millions ? I won't to be a millionaire !
Graylox, I should apologise it seems you have been getting mail that should have been addressed to me. I'll let the sender know to readdress it. ;)
I've been getting discount offers on craft materials, wool, and bus shopping tours including devonshire teas.
Yeah, bus shopping tours, that can be the same fun as telemarketing.
BuBBy, the spammers seem to speak Yiddish, those offers are great for grandmothers - I should know that...
Bus shopping tours where the driver announces we are not leaving until another $200 has been spent at this warehouse - now everyone off the bus and get back inside and spend!

In Germany the travel goes to a restaurant at the countryside - somewhere in the middle of nowhere -you get some very precious gifts, a ballpen and a lighter and 250 g butter and 100 g salami and a dish in genuine plastics, and a "good meal", than there is an entertainer, who praises those thermo blankets you have to buy...
But sometimes those sellers are spoofed by a gang of happy seniors, who only want to have a gratis trip.
