I got a really cool scam in the mail the other day!

[seismic wonder2]

I got this letter a few days ago from some lady representing the "Secret Society." Her letter says that "someone" has reviewed my "file" and they think I'm a verry special guy!

Apparently, I'm about to enter "Phase two". If is send in the paper I'll receive the first of two pieces of information that could change my life!!!

Me, being the curious type-ready for a little fun, sent it in immediately....after all I'm about to enter Phase Two!

A little later I received a booklet called "The greatest kept secret of all time!" Five amazing stories about making money, love, and being discovered----That will change YOUE life!!-----

All these stories tell about how the down trodden and destitute some how were given or "found" this 1200 page manuscript several thousand years old that holds secrets to health, wealth, women, etc.....
But I can have this book for just $139.00

Too Funny!!!

Anyway....
I looked them up on the net and found several websites devoted to letting people know about the scam.

Unfortunately, no one on the scam sites bought the second book.

Now I'm VERRY curious about what's in the book. I KNOW it's a scam, and I HATE to perpetuate something like this BUT I WANT TO READ THAT BOOK!

By the way, I have this ocen front property for sale in Arizona.....

Hey cool - we have something in common! I was SPECIALLY selected to receive a letter that I can forward along to get up to $800,000 just by sending my letter to 200 people and sending out $1 to 7 other people!

How's that for easy money!! LOL...

How much ya want for that property, seismic? I've got some silkies I could trade ya...

It's 1200 pages each saying

"YOU ARE AN IDIOT. TO GET RICH FIND MORE IDIOTS LIKE YOURSELF AND TELL THEM TO SEND YOU $139.00"

In all seriousness - are you a minor? Did you fill out a personal information sheet and send it in? Did your parents review the information you were providing? This could be very serious. These scammers can wipe you out financially, or your parents, or steal identities or put you on mailing lists from HE_ _. Never, ever fill out those things.

If you are a minor, and you did, please let your parents know.

LOL I got one the other day from Sargeant Romerez who found $1,000,000 in a secret passage that Hissain (or however its spelled) used and will split it with me 50/50 if I send him my social security number so he can use my info to foward me the money! How neat is that!

Its amazin that some folks actually believe this stuff!

These guys are "scambaiters." You wouldn't believe what they end up getting these desperate scammers to do to get the baiters' (supposed) money. It's hours of comedy gold.
