Read what this person sent me via email:

I am Barr Vincent Chong, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine has bequeathed you as His Heir, who died as a result of Heart-Related problem due to

the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET as reported on:
CNN Transcript - Breaking News: Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf Near Bahrain - August 23, 2000.

I'm contacting you as the Heir to approve the release of the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this deposit valued at Eighteen million dollars is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact you (Heir), or the account will be confiscated.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent and approval as the Heir and beneficiary of my late client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to
you as His Heir. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's Heir will be provided. All I require is your approval about this and your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this mail proposition offends your moral values, do
accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your
decision is, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your approval. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-
mail as soon as possible via my private EMAILvincentchong_associates@yahoo.com.hk) and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.

I look forward to your quick reply.

Best regards,
Barrister Vincent Chong.

And here's what I replied:

I'll have my attorney look over this, and uh...add it as a drop in the bucket to my already copious liquid reserves. Just to let you know, I got some very powerful associates who do not play games in the event this is a scam or hoax. I can literally guarantee that if it is, the mortician will not be able to present your corpse in a dignifying way to the people who will view your wake. Please take cautious steps in this matter, and know that I will not take matters lightly. Your life depends on it.

Cute.

Anatoray · 07-13-2009, 04:09 PM

I get those too, and they crack me up every time.

nogoodname · 07-13-2009, 04:12 PM

why reply, now they know this email account is active and more crap is comming

edeeZee · 07-13-2009, 05:17 PM

^ No, I've responded similar before to a likewise email, and they didn't respond. They'll only keep on flooding your email if they know the fish is on the hook.

They did a show on 20/20 a few years back about the infamous Nigerian 414 scam or whatevers, and I didn't feel pity at all for the MIDDLE-AGED people who fell for it. You should know that if "it's too good to be true, then probably is." And if you gotta learn the hard way, so be it. Greed can get the best of us.

I answered one and actually turned the tables on them. I agreed to help them but first I needed about 20 grand to buy dog food an non profit animal shelter I owned! I own four dogs. LOL. After a few emails they stopped F'in with me cause I was very presistant about the money for the dogs. The rest of the time I reply with a bunch of curse words but they never respond. Ha ha

CBRich · 07-15-2009, 07:24 PM

Apparently my white a** is related to a Kenyan king. He died and left me billions. How weird is that?

RCZ · 07-15-2009, 07:30 PM
