Wrong E-mail!
« on: June 08, 2009, 04:08:06 PM »
Hello everyone,

      As you may or may not know, my e-mail is Mr.cz@hotmail.com. Anyways, some guy keeps e-mailing me thinking it's someone else who he's trying to give 20 Million dollars to. I've e-mailed him endlessly trying to get him to comprehend that I'm not the guy he's looking for but he just keeps e-mailing me back more and more info that I'm not asking for! It's driving me insane! -makes me feel like I'm in one of those Monty Python sketches...- But yeah, have you ever had someone send something to you by mistake? If so, post it here!
Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.






Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^

I'm not going to try to collect the money, never was. Thing is tho.. he keeps addressing me as the wrong person. He believes I'm one of his ex-business partners. Not the point anyways...


I just wanted to hear some stories from you guys!

I just tracked his sendmail log, called a few "friends," hopped a flight down to Jamaica (the NEW Home of Internet Scams!,) tracked the guy down and my "friends" and I collected the $$$! (Less a few hundred grand, unfortunately.  ::) )

Now you know why I'm FINALLY fully retiring!

As was mentioned earlier, it is no mistake. The guy is a scammer.

Try googling "419 scam" you'll see plenty of sites that explain this in detail and some sites that actually bait these guys.

Thanks to Neo for this awesome sig!
