Is this a new one or have I just been missing out on gaining new friends?I've made some in Nigeria and they will soon make me rich,but this is from my new pal in California and he is in someway connected to the Bank of America.

Just a little glitch in getting my money released but as soon as I send him the $550.00 USD he will release the check(certified by the way).

He made a few spelling errors and some of his sentence structure is a little strange but what do you expect of a banker in Covina California.

Ah,life is good,so many generous people in the world,like I say life is good.

I'll never understand how people can fall for BS like this.

Hi Quantum,

well greed and stupidity play a part of course, but unfortunately so does having elderly and slightly confused relatives to prey on.. The people who target these vulnerable older people are below contempt.


cheers,


Pobs

I wouldn't mind a job strolling around the country discreetly counselling these creatures; and the ones who do viruses, worms and hacking.

Tell Mr. Dupont that he will have to come to your home to pick up the fee plus a $10,000 bonus for his troubles.

Have you tried calling the phone number? Once you speak to Mr. Dupont, you could always forward the information to the FBI. I am sure they would love to contact him.

Wow, I knew that BofA took a hit with everything going on, but I didn't know they were stooping to THIS level to make money...

I don't know why but I've never gotten one of those "Nigerian Prince" phishing scams...guess I'm not worthy lol

So far we have made $5.5 trillion dollars on these schemes. And I wish to share these riches upon you all. I cannot ever use these funds upon myself, so I wish to to enrich you. We picked your email out of millions because we could see you had what it takes.

Our agent will contact you with instructions on how to disburse these extreme funds. I don't know what they are and I don't know who you are.

Watch for your email, if could happen. Or maybe not.

JUST JOKING!

Damn Bank of America must be really doing bad.

They have to resort to using a Google email addy.

Let me get this straight: Bank of America, which has DOZENS of ways to transfer money, wants a WESTERN UNION?! money transfer?!?!?!

Sounds pretty good to me. Jump right on that and tell me how it works out for you. I agree people are NUTS to fall for that crap.

Sounds logical to me.
