I’m Rich!

Well, probably not.  I just received one of those standard spam messages from some stranger wanting to transfer $15.5 million to me.

This one, however, was a little nervewracking in that it was personalized.  The subject heading had both my maiden and married names, and the body of the text refers to someone in the UK with our last name who allegedly died without a will.  They haven’t found any heirs, so he figures he’ll give me (most of) the money.  Yeah, right.

I don’t believe any of it for a minute.  But I really wish this creep didn’t have my name.

    Hey, I’ve got so many rich, dead relatives I can’t count ‘em all. Most of them are in Nigeria. And those old banker presidents that fell out of airplanes. Can you believe, I’m the only person that can help spend their money? Sometimes I feel like Unca Scrooge and can’t wait to go swimming in all my coins. Care to join me? Just send your SSAN, your drive….

    What people won’t do to try to scam someone out of their money. GET A JOB and get your own money!
