Are you freaking crazy!?! Are you actually turning down the opportunity to be Hosni Mubarak's "tycoon business representative"??? Who doesn't want to be a TYCOON?
Haha I would right back and see where it goes. Be like the guy that did it with the ANUS computers scam haha http://www.thescambaiter.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109
one day a real king is gonna send out this email asking for help - we're all gonna ignore him - then he will die. Then we all feel like crap!
This makes me laugh because an older friend of mine is engaged to a much younger woman. I don't think she ever had a computer until he bought her one. Now I get phone calls from her asking me all about these e-mails because my friend won't even discuss them with her. She brings them up at dinner too. She thinks they are real and we just don't want her to have money from foreigners. She asks for proof they are scams, etc.
+1 Thank him profusely for choosing you, but express your skepticism that's it's really him because, "as you're sure he knows, there are some scams on the interweb these days" and you want to be sure..... Ask for pix from the palace etc...... Could be fun! [Just be sure to use a disposable email address ] Cheers, Ian
Write this back; Hey H-Dawg, it's good to hear from you again. I'm glad you didn't try calling since my phone number changed after switching to Vonnage. I'd love to take that excess money off your hands, so why don't you transfer it to my 'usual' account before you get sucked into that trial. Lots of Love, Prince P.S. I'll try to make it to the trial and cheer you on. Maybe I can get the old crew together and bust you out of there. Breaking Murdock out of the loonie bin is pretty hard these days though.
Sure! Contact him back, and tell him as a member of the Egyptian Security Networking Forces you would *LOVE* to help him out! Me too! I feel honored he would contact me, and only little 'ol me.. No, we won't.
NO, DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY MANNER. I made the mistake of responding to one of these e-mails with a string of profanity, etc. I am now on a "hit list" and I get at least 20 of these every day. They even by-pass our Nazi SPAM filter. Learn for my mistake.
Allegedly deposed? He doesn't sound too certain about his situation. And I didn't realize we had nobility here in our forums. All Hail Mike!
Well, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't because of all the little people.... Excuse me, I have to go practice my 'Royal' wave. Mike
