Don't worry, Kiss. I wouldn't touch that on a bet.

If I don't know the folks that sent it, I'm not going there.

The old internet lottery scam.

Almost like the letter from the prince of Ungabunga who needs my bank account number so he can deposit millions and of course, I get a percentage for allowing him to use my account.

I got a new one the other day. It was from FedEx who had a packaged which contained a bunch of Rolexes, other goodies and a check for $500,000. I need to email my information to them and they would instruct me where to send the $150 shipping due.

Fedex is based in the UK now?

I love it, this bozo doesn't even bother to forge a Fed Ex email account, he uses @live.com which is a MS site.
