GOODS you have provided in exchange for same.<BR/>2. SERVICE you have provided in exchange for same.<BR/>3. The other person LOVEs you and is honestly presenting you with a gift to show it (Friends and relatives).<BR/><BR/>I find it hard to believe someone in a country where cannibalism, witchcraft and pedophilia are almost institutionalized parts of the culture, who knows nothing about me and probably cares less, "loves" me enough to give me millions from an old dead sultan, or whatever. Anyone with half a brain that can think logically instead of emotionally, knows such emails are scams.TheWayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074292938877766871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-1159417881585347262006-09-28T00:31:00.000-04:002006-09-28T00:31:00.000-04:00I get emails at work all the time, written in some...I get emails at work all the time, written in some phoney poor English, to send money so I can get rich. Wait a minute...my dad always told me,"There's no such thing as a free lunch." It was said as frequently in my childhood home as evening prayers. I was taught never to be a victim, or believe in anything but my own hard work.<BR/><BR/><BR/>However my brother resembles yours, Penny.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-1159383107065502812006-09-27T14:51:00.000-04:002006-09-27T14:51:00.000-04:00I just had to talk my brother out of sending money...I just had to talk my brother out of sending money to a 'chinese lawyer' who 'sounded african' who 'lived in england' that he spoke with after a 'rich widowed woman' contacted him...<BR/><BR/>I couldn't even believe he could be serious. I emailed him a list of similar stories originating from around the globe.<BR/><BR/>I wondered once why he was so street smart and law-evading and entrepreneurial and yet so easily taken in by scams like that.. my dad said it was because he had a criminal mind. <BR/><BR/>I will watch with interest as you expose for us, this man's transatlantic scam.SuperP.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06830641369098524799noreply@blogger.com
