mgjackson69 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Any kind of Good Samaritan would already have the credit card out and Western Union's website up on the browser . Anyone who can write that much in three sentences must be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I can imagine someone doing this on a bet or something. I see grammar isn't one of their strong suits either. So, did you tell them ok? (To find out who they are and where they are from?) And I'd ask if they are sure 1200 pounds is enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i cant believe some people are so silly to fall for this (if they didnt fall for it, why bother sending it out in the first place right?). so this person went to an internet cafe and just happened to put your email address in? no mates? sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDRIDER Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Guys, this is for real, have no idea who it is, but let me tell you that i have seen the same e-mail address in Phuket gazette in classified ads. Nope Donna not any of my friends, dont think they would be so stupid to send something like this:: Phone dont work, but mail does, mobile dont work, naaaaa, they would not do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend Dave, in Dallas, was accordingly to Texas Monthly, was the 4th most feared Hacker in Texas. He has told me that these are scams, regardless what names they provide. Even yours. Delete it. Delete it. Delete it. Any questions? todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
