Hahaha!!! I think I'll reply and give him my information......:roll::roll: Sometimes I wonder if the crooks are really smart or if they are just lucky enough to find somebody dumber or more gullible than they are.

Can't believe this scam is still floating around.

The crooks are just playing the numbers.  Eventually they will find someone that's desparate, gullible, or senile that will send them money in hope of millions in return.
If this scam is still around when I'm 100, I'll give them a call...

Ask him to forward $10,000, to an account of your choosing, to cover all "Fiduciary Responsibility Fees" that may be incurred by the transaction.  I do this every time I get one of these.  Strange that I never hear back from them.

We have a used machinery dealer who is a good enough bs'er that a person actually sent him a check to cover his expenses. Seen the check, he is afraid to try  cash it.

A former coworker of mine got an "official" looking letter in the mail from the Canadian lottery office.  Apparently he won $10, 000 in a lottery up there.....although never having gone to Canada.  They even sent him the check.   He had to deposit it and send them a check of his for $2500 for taxes.  He did and when the a Canadian check bounced, as I said it would, he was devastated.   "It had the Canadian emblem on it" he said. 
Lmao
