Bye Guys
 
I just got an email from a Saudi prince who is going to give me a boat load of cash. Once it gets here I won't be here again. Nice knowing you.

Well that is interesting, I as sure you provided your back account info so they can transfer the money into your account. :p

RichieBoy67 01-23-2014 11:44 PM

Ofcourse. I also sent him some money to pay for the transfer. I figure it is the least I can do. :)

ozzy47 01-24-2014 12:41 AM

That's cool, I wonder if I was to provide him with my info, if he would do the same for me. :)

RichieBoy67 01-24-2014 12:42 AM

I think he would Ozzy. I am happy to forward the email to you. I actually have a ton of them. I guess he has been trying to reach me for years. :D

Awesome, maybe if we can get a few more family and members from here in on it, we can all pitch in and but a deserted island with our new found fortune, and start a new country. ;)

RichieBoy67 01-24-2014 01:09 AM

Sure. A country just for Vb devs? Than instead of an online forum we could all just meet in a giant building.

Sad news though is that I am starting to think these emails are a fraud. Ever since I paid him and he drained my accounts I haven't been able to get in touch with him. I am also a little curious as to why a Saudi prince would be in Nigeria.

Call me naive but I would never expect someone to send me a dishonest email especially to my spam(Super Premium Awesome Mail) folder.

Maybe he is just waiting on the banks to convert your money into his currency, so he can pay the transfer fees, and the conversion fees to send the money to your bank account. :)

Yeah, that must be it. :D

Seriously though, do they really ever hitch anyone with these things? I know it is a numbers game but after so many years I can't believe anyone would fall for it.

I remember many years ago I got one that looked just like an Ebay thing and I logged in and found it was not real. I was quick enough to change my info though but that was years ago. I can't see many falling for these things now especially the emails about how they want to send you a bunch of money.

Yes people fall for it all the time, look at it like this, everyday there is new users to the internet, that have not had experience at all, so they are naive.
