    Damn, they even had a board meeting just to figure out how to find you and help you with your problem.

    He's a Doctor, I'm sure it's totally legit.

    The real question is what is the best most malicious way to fuck with someone's email address, starting with this guy's? Subscribe them to what?

    Re: Looks legit...

    And another one...from daniela.gonzalez@sectoresestrategicos.gob.ec

    I
    am Mrs. Vina Long an aging widow suffering from cancer, a long time illness. Before my late husband died we had no children. I have some funds I inherited from my late husband. I will ask my attorney to prepare the necessary document to transfer the funds from my husband online offshore account and property to you. I want you to help me with this as I am very sick and cannot do this myself as I have to make my last wish come true. I have an estate in Medford NJ (USA) and a total sum of GBP£4.3Million (Four Million Three Hundred Thousand Great British Pounds Sterling) in my late husband online offshore account, which I have instructed my attorney to transfer the account of the person I have decided to make my next of kin. I need you to sell the property in Medford NJ USA. And 30% of the total sum should be transferred to any orphanage home. Please contact me with your details if you wish to carry out this charity project.

    Thanks again for you concern and Stay blessed.

    You should look into getting a gmail account, they have spam filters that work much more efficiently.

    This crap keeps showing up in one of my business email accounts. I filter it as spam at the receiving end, so I never get it from the same sender twice. I get prett much zero spam on my personal accounts.

    I received a phone call the other day from someone who claimed to be an FBI agent and that I had to meet them within 72 hours, but they wouldn't tell me what it was about. The number was 719-320-4309. I already called the FBI field office, but why not post the phone number up here?

    That number is a cell phone registered in Pueblo. Tell him you will meet him in the FBI field office and see what the reaction is

    Anyone you know having a background check done for a clearance job? It may very well be legit. People who do these types of background checks work over entire regions.

    If it is legit, they should have no problem meeting you wherever you like. Be it a local police department/FBI office/library...

    If they ask you to bring lime, rope, a shovel and all your credit cards I'd be cautious.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
