Wow they wrote back

Now I have to kick up the underlying goofiness of my replies a little bit. To my more smart ass readers no I've never given "pleasures" for a ride.

Dear Sir/Madam ,

I thank you for your concern. May God reward you for accepting this noble responsibility. This is a life saving project. It involved personal sacrifice. So you must have to put in your best to make it a success.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million Pounds (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the (LUCAMEA) cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family and me, I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

Before we proceed any further, Please answer these questions as candidly as you can. How old are you?What is your full Name and contact Address? What is your phone number? Are you married? If yes, how many children do you have?Are you self employed or working for someone else?What is the level of your education?Why did you decide to be a part of this project?Do you intend to engage in this for your personal gains or because of the service you intend to render to humanity?

This is a comprehensive detail of how you are to receive the deposit immediately. Once more remember this Project is not an opportunity for you to enrich yourself, you shall be compensated duly with a percentage of 5% of the total worth of he deposit for your assistance.BELOW IS THE INFORMATIONS YOU ARE TO REACH THE BANK

May the peace of God be with you.Your Sister,Joan Taylor

More scammer goodness

Well email scammers have sunk to a new low. Here's the latest one I received....and of course replied too. Typing, English and other mistakes in my reply are totally intended. Click here for the other email scammer shenanigans.


From: Madam Joan Taylor.
4 Old Church Street,
Chelsea, SW3,
England.
Good Day,
Here writes Madam Joan Taylor, suffering from Cancerous ailment.
I am married to Engineer Silas Hines an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million
Pounds (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the (LUCAMEA) cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family and me, I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me, because I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply through this my confidential email Address: I shall give you the contact of the bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you very soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Joan Taylor.



Good Day Joan,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. If you were married for 30 years how come you never had any kids? Were you too frigid or did his old swimmers just not want to swim? Well whatever the case you probably ended up as that weird couple on your street that everyone talked about. So I understand that you want to help the downtrodden and when it comes to helping the downtrodden I’m your guy.
So your husband put 10 million pounds in the bank from some estate and investments he had. Speaking of pounds have you ever seen that where a person weights like 1000 pounds and they have to cut the side of the house off to get the guy out of his house? Then they lift him out of his bed with a fork lift? Anyway that happened to a guy that lived across the street from us and when he was on the forklift and getting put on the truck he took a big crap all over the place. I have picture of the whole thing when they cut the house apart and when he took the crap too. A car ran over the poop too it was pretty funny. I’m more than happy that you want to donate the 10 million pounds to me, I have a lot of plans for that kind of money. First I’m going to set up a charity fund and only give it to models who can’t read because I think everyone should be illegitimate and know how to read. Illegitmacy is a big problem if you ask me. Then I’m going to also put some money aside for the people who stutter a lot too. Then with part of the money I’m going to go to Vegas and bet it all on black at the roulette table because that’s what Wesley Snipes said to always bet on black in that movie Passenger 57. Did you ever see that movie? These dudes try and take over a plane but Wesley isn’t going to let that happen…..no way Boy Howdy. Wesley goes on a fighting spree on the plan and everyone lands safely at the end and its all because of Passenger 57, you should rent it. Then when I win I’m getting my payout in all dollar bills and I’m going to put it in a big kiddie pool and pretend like I’m swimming in it. It will be funny I know!!! So you had a stroke too? Have you ever heard that Billy Squier song “The Stroke”, its really a rocking song. I think it has to do with making the sex. There’s a lot of songs that are about making the sex. I can hardly wait to hear back from you, so anyway are you what us over her in the US call “a looker”? If you are send me some pictures, could ya?

Franklin Stubbs

You asked for it.

More email scammer fun is on the way soon........

Two choices and neither one is nice....

A little Monday morning conversation around this story from the NY Post:

MAN TRAPPED 4 DAYS
By FRANK RYAN

December 10, 2006 -- Police and firefighters yesterday rescued a Long Island man who had been trapped in his bedroom for four days after piling up a 7-foot-high mountain made up of bags of his own feces, jars of urine and other debris.
An officer responded to Charles Ruoff's dilapidated home in Centerport around 3:30 a.m. after receiving an anonymous 911 call asking police to check up on the 64-year-old veteran who hadn't been seen in days.
As he explored the house, the cop heard Ruoff calling weakly from a second-floor bedroom where he had walled himself in with a mountain of his own filth. He said he had been trapped since Tuesday.
The Centerport Fire Department freed Ruoff using heavy rescue equipment.
Ruoff was taken to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Northport where he was treated for dehydration, hypothermia, bedsores and general weakness, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Donner said.


Okay here's the question death is not an option. In order to live you have to either
a) keep your own urine in jars
b) keep your poop in bags
Discuss and you can post your choice in the comments.

I go with the urine one. I think a jar of urine would keep longer than a bag of poop. Sure the poop would eventually dry out in the bag but if that rips you're in trouble. Plus I can't imagine how nasty it would be to poop in a garbage bag.
