I went through a phase where I actually felt compelled to answer these emails, just not in a very lady-like manner. lol Now they go directly into SPAM.

Mine get deleted. Some are good for a laugh or two.

Now they must like me better then you...they always want me to go to my nearest International Airport and to bring a couple people to protect me as I leave the airport with all that cash. Seriously can't they just send me a check

I got a phone call awhile back from a fellow with a very strong Indian accent. He said he was from the US government and they had a grant for me with a total dollar amount of $4000.00. One stipulation was I could not use it to buy wine.


Really? NOT!

I get those at least twice a month, I don't even open them. We all know the government doesn't contact you by e-mail. It's just like the ones you get from people you know saying they are stuk in another country and have lost their money and need help to get home. I got one from my "neighbor", so I went next door to see how his trip was. HA HA, He had 5 or 6 people call to see if it was real. If it seems too good to be true it is. Beware of weir email is all I can say.
