I am going to be rich

[poiselle]

I am supposed to keep this transaction confidential, but I figure nobody here will tell anyone. It seems that a government contractor in Nigeria overcharged some firms and there is now a $40,000,000 surplus. Some government workers want me to help them move the money out of the country. If I help them they will give me 20%. As luck would have it yesterday I was contacted by an executive in a Nigerian bank about $21,500,000 that belonged to a client who died with all of his family in a plane crash. They are willing to give me 20% of that if I help them as well. I think I will just drop out of grad school now since I have all this money flowing in. I think I deserve 35% of the bank account though. I will let you guys know how my negotiations go. Yessiree, mighty exciting these days. No more starving graduate student. You are all invited to my tropical island.

[topane]

That's great! I received that same offer a long time ago, but I was reluctant to take them up on it. I'm very disappointed that I didn't. I don't suppose I could have a job on your tropical island?

[ArkiStan]

yo that's so cool. When's the party? Would you happen to be able to spot me a couple hundred for the plane fair? I used to have some cash that I got by helping a bankrupt Saudi Petroleum field owner. He wanted me to hold on to some of his money while goes through the paperwork to immigrate to the states. Well, that's a long story and I all the money's spent. Anyway, let me know. :cool:

[attgig]

so that's why you've been gone for so long.

yeah...so you must be at around 10 mill+ I'm not sure how much islands run for these days, but errr...that's gonna be one small island.

well - it's a start i guess :shrug:

you're my new best friend :angel:

[Grimm]

Shhh! Man you aren't supposed to be telling anyone. I was gonna get in on that sweet deal myself, but now everyone will want in. :P

[poiselle]

So far they have not replied to my offer for a larger percentage of the take. I guess I missed out on my bank opportunity. Good thing I have the Oil Ministry deal to fall back on. Oh well.

i heard something about hacking back... systems that will hack back to virus source and prevent further infections.. not sure how it works and is it legal yet...

[dbax791]

WOW! That is MUCH better than the $50,000 I got from Microsoft from forwarding emails about the AOL Merger!

[SnowSurfer]

In addition, my yahoo account mentioned there was an "attachment" there, which I cannot see. perhaps it was just the text file, or perhaps :hmm:

so where is the Island, and is the helicopter on it's way?

[mojo]

i'm lucky enough to have gotten in on a sweet pyramid scheme type deal. apparently it's legal because the people "sell" me a list of names in which to send more mail to. all i had to do was send the top 5 names $5 each, and they will each send me a list to bump the top name off of and add my name to the bottom. i'll be getting some good income there. i got the offer from a few different people, so i figured it would be a good idea to do theirs as well. in all i've sent out about $125, but that's small potatoes compared to the money i'll be getting back! i just have to wait for the lists to come so i can forward the notice.

at first i was skeptical about sending cash through the mail, but i figure it's safe enough since i know their names and all. plus the next person will be sending me cash, so fair's fair, right?

[hapoo]

Greeting friend. Do you wish to look as happy as me? Well, you have the power inside you right now. So use it! Send one dollar to Happy Dude 742 Evergreen Terrace Springfield. Don't Delay, Eternal Happiness is only a dollar away!

I plan to buy a small one in St Vincents. The government requires that you develop the island if they sell it to you so everybody has to pretend that you are tourists staying at my "hotel"

We should all pool our money and buy a big island. Hell, why not buy Nigeria? We seem to be moving all of the cash in their banks out of the country, we could just cut out the middleman.
