<b> How dumb are people really????

Let's see... last month they asked you for your credit card and banking routing and acct # up front. Now it's the cloak and dagger approach, 60/40 theirs --WTF--. If they said 90/10 yours then it might work. Oh well enter spam below</b>

GOOD DAY TO YOU,
I am Mr CALVIN STONE the branch auditor in
Union bank of nigeria,Lagos branch.I have urgent
and very confidential business proposition for you
as a result of what we presently have at hand.first
Mr. Robert Chapman a Canadian , great industrialist
and a contractor .

He was African Area Director of SIL International,
who unfortunately died in the plane crash of Kenya
Airways Flight 431 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast,
february 7th 2000.
On june,1999 canadian an industralist/contractor
with the Nigerian national petroleum corporation,Mr.
Robert Chapman made numbered time (fixed)deposit
for twenty-four calender months,valued USD$5,400M
(Five million four hundred thousand dollars dollars)
in my branch.

Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his
forwarding adress but got no reply.After a month,we
sent a reminder and finally,we discovered from his
contract employers,the Nigerian Petroleum
Corporation that Mr. Robert Chapman died from plan
crash.
On further investigation,i found out that he died
without making a (WILL),and all attempts to trace
his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made
further investigation and discovered that Mr.
Robert Chapman did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all official documents,including his
bank deposite paper work in my bank.

This sum of USD$5.4M is still sitting in my bank
and the interest is beign rolled over with his
principal sum at the end of each year.No one will
ever come forward to claim it.According to the
Nigerian law,at the experation of five years,the
money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund.Consequently,my proposal is that i will like
you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
to Mr. Robert Chapman so that the fruites of this
young manâ??s labour will not get into the hands of
some corrupt Government officials.

This is simple,i will like you to send, immedietelly
your full names and address so that the attorney
will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits,which will put you in place as the next
of kin.We will employ the service of two attornies
for drafting and notarization of the (WILL),and to
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour of USD$5.4M,000,000 . for the transfer.

We would need you as a foreigner acting as the
next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance
of Mr. Robert Chapman TO CLAIM THESE FUNDS.The
money will be paid to you for us to share in the
ratio of (60% OF US$5.4 Million) for me and (40% of
US$5.4 Million)for you,however,i will take care of
all the responsibilities here to make sure you
recieve the money.I want you to give me some kind
of assurance that after the completion of
arrangement,you shall keep my own 60% as we agreed.

NOTE; There is no risk or failure at all because the transaction,will be done by the attorney my"position"as the branch auditor guarantees the 100% succesful execution of this particular transaction.If you are interested,please reply immediately through my privat e-mail.Upon your response,i shall then provide you my identity card with more details and documents that will help you understand the transaction.

Please observe utmost confidentiality and be rest
assured that this transaction will be most
profitable for both of us because i shall require
your assistance to invest my own share in your
country. Awaiting your urgent reply through my
personal e-mail address only
calvinstone_24@fsmail.net
calvinstone_9@atlas.cz
As soon as i recieve your reply my confidential
telephone number shall be given to you.

Personally, I hate the ones asking for your eBay identification. Those are especially annoying because I have friends who would fill those out and hit the submit button.

The purpose of spam is to weed people away from the internet so that in the end, only the smart people who still have their money can surf the internet. Duh.

Dumb people browsing the internet should get whats comming to them. If you dont take the time to educate yourself about computers in general then you are a looser and I hope they take all of your money away.

This is comming from a guy who has to put up with stupid decisions and braindead questions I face at work on a day to day basis. If only people would at least just take 1 fsking computer class...

Yeah people who don't know how to use a computer should get all their money stolen, that's very rational.

Ignorance should never be confused with stupidity. Ignorance can usually be fixed where as stupidity is refusing to do it right once you're no longer ignorant of something.
