dont you hate scams?

people must think that everyone is a guilble idiot.,. check out this e-mail i got today:

From Mr. Ivan Poski.

Dear Partner,

I am Mr. Ivan Poski, a member of the Ovasi Rebel movement. A rebel group secretly sponsored by late president Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the embattled chairman, CEO of Yukos oil Menatap SBP Bank.

The Ovasi rebel group contributed immensely in the revolution that sent President Charles Taylor on exile. Beside our fight for equality and political stability in Liberia was the lusaka Diamond, we also had control over the Lusaka Diamond mines, which was a joint investment between late President Reagan and Mr. Khodorkovsky.

Diamonds were being mined and sold to French and Arabian dealers for many years. On 28th of may 2004 before the death of late president Reagan the sum of US$360million was realized from the sales of the Diamonds at the Lusaka Mines and as usual was disbursed according to the agreement among the war lords, the local chiefs and the foreign sponsors. The sum of US$25m and US$21m was sent to late President Reagan and Mr. Khodorkovsky respectively. All funds previously sent to them were usually done through a European security transport Agency. The Agency moves the money to Europe where it is delivered to one European broker who helps them deposit the funds in different Financial House in Europe. On this particular transaction I had delays in sending a confirmation of the arrival of the funds in Europe before the CNN announcement of the arrest of Mr. Khodorkovsky with other members. Based on this counter, i immediately declare myself a refuge.
Right now the funds are still with the broker waiting for instructions on how they are to be transfer.

YOUR ROLE:

If you agree on my terms, I will give you every detail you require to present yourself to the broker as an associate or personal assistant to Mr. Khodorkovsky and they will send the funds to wherever you tell him Mr. Khodorkovsky wants it.

MY TERMS:

(1) I will take 70% of the total funds when you get it.

(2) You will have to open a joint bank account of which I will be a signatory where the funds would be deposited.

If this is okay by you, notify me immediately either by phone,fax or email in good time so that we can proceed.

Respectfully,

Ivan Poski

HAHAHAHAH!!

There was a show on TV here in auz about how ppl get suckered into scams HAHA sorry but i dont feel one bit sorry for ppl like that.

This one couple was told they had won a massive amount of cash. But b4 they could get it they had to pay $700. They paid, got nothing.
The "company" got back to them saying they needed more money due to some crap, so the couple gave them more money each time they asked. So they ended up giving all their wedding money which was something like $7K. Now they cant have a wedding.. :laugh:

Suckers... 1 born every minute :roll:

and another scam.. about a month ago some lady called my CELL PHONE, talking about that she was from the government revenue services or something (i dont even remember) and that i had been accepted to receive a $8000 grant from the government, but that i would have to pay them like $287 to get it, and she wanted me to give her my account number and bank and everything,.. i told her that i couldnt find the info, and then she called back like 5 times, but i never answered..

i'm not that dumb to give that info to some random person over the phone..

I have never been approached for any of this kind of BS...I guess I am just lucky...8)

In that situation I would ask if I could met her in person to discuss my possible "grant" I bet she'd be like...."Well, This is a one time deal" Blah blah bhal...
