Wow, $5.5 million. You are so lucky!

[Brian Tymchak]

Geesh, it almost seems like a joke with so many obvious red flags of being a scam.

Like it's a spoof of a scam letter.


Otherwise Lee, congratulations on being so wealthy that you hold assets with Federal Reserve.

[Jerome Stanek]

Tell them to open an account in their bank and send you the info.

[Malcolm Schweizer]

This is legit. It happened to me, and now I’m building my dream shop with all new tools.

[Gary Ragatz]

Personally, I wouldn't bother with it for anything less than $6 million.

[Tom Stenzel]

I feel cheated. I only was offered 2 million British Pounds Sterling in the last email I got.

Back when the Nigerian scams first started I printed a couple of copies and took them to work. At the morning meeting I passed them out and said, "Tomorrow when I get all this money I'm quitting this job and telling all my bosses just what I think of them!".

My foreman said something I can't repeat here. The whole thing was good for a round of laughs and a lot of verbal abuse.

[Doug Garson]

They really had me believing until I saw the "cc Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)", that made me suspicious.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Some guys have all the luck!

[Malcolm McLeod]

Yes Lee, you are a very lucky man! And, I hope everyone gets a chuckle from it.

A cautionary tale to go with it .... my brother's in-laws fell victim to a on-going movie production funding scheme - supposedly in Brazil. Both are suffering from age-related dementia, and still are trying to get money transferred to the 'scam'. Their banks and brokerages finally have refused to participate, so they have tried to recruit family and friends to execute transfers. When that failed, they've even tried to withdraw cash and send. All the while thinking the ROI was 'just around the corner' - 'as soon as it hits theaters'. (All law enforcement agencies, including FBI, have been made aware, but perpetrators will never set foot in USA, so not much they can do.) To date, best estimate is $2M gone!

Sorry to be the downer, but please be aware of how our aging population is impacted or may be victimized - especially our parents.

Keith will be thrilled that you are going to fund the Creek forever. Way to go, Lee

May karma have the last laugh for whoever did this.

I'll hope Karma has a burlap sack half full of brass door knobs....

Open up a fake account, and forward it to them. Account could be on "The First Bank of the Left Hip." That's who I used for construction loan on the last house I built. Use your non winning lottery numbers for routing and account number.
