Yeah.... but would you send $5000 then sit and wonder if it will arrive?:blink:
I would rather see, touch and hear it. Then give them the money

When you have a website on the net...

There's your problem right there. Get it off the net and put it in your bottom draw.

I did think of just printing it out and gluing it up around town - but then it'll get tagged!

HTH,

Yeah what he said. Plus there are a few other ways of doing this.

Use a contact form with hidden code, or jiggle the email address around using javascript. Not too complicated for someone to sort out for you.

Would be worth starting with a different email address when you do this if possible (because it's already too late for the one you're using).

(because it's already too late for the one you're using).

But Im winning so many lotteries and free Dell laptops because of that email address!- perhaps some one will buy it if I list it on Trade Me?

We get mail, (envelope kind) regularly, to the business from people in PNG. They'll give us half the profit if we refine their gold.

Or the ever generous folk from Namibia who want us to buy diamonds - real cheap & 'just between us'. :rolleyes:

ATTENTION

I am Dr.JOHN TONY, General manager to the Finance, security & Sec. Services . this note was taken in my office where i was serving verification documents to the White men Mr Joan michael and Mr john Adams who stormed my office in company of Mr. Gila Uwa (on white African attire).

The black man claimed to be your representative and the supervisory Engineer that supervised and Lasco security, company & Sec. Services(OUR COMPANY) because of their inability to have paid it at the agreed time.

They said that you were dead and before your death, you appointed them as the next of kin to your contract fund presently under our custody these two white men and the black gentleman quickly applied that your Inherited fund should be presented to them at the spot.

The Official responsible for the presentation of consignment quickly granted approvals to their application and packaged the fund for them to go with it .
When the Lasco security, company & Sec. Services Debit Note was submitted to my desk for final Approvals before forwarding it to them for endorsement, I noticed that there are discrepancies as there was no evidence of authorization letter from you for the change of beneficiary.

I urgently summoned The Official responsible for the presentation of the fund and directed him to stop the movement of the funds and at the same time placed a stop order instruction on the funds pending when your views and comments are received with regards to this matter.

Please study the attached photograph and respond to me urgently for your comments which will be highly appreciated, but we will not hesitate to continue the payment transmission to them if no response comes from you. Contact me on this Email:cbbenin7@live.fr

immediately as your silence will be a clear indication that you authorized them to effect the above changes.
