Tatar Khan Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Here is the thing with the amount mentioned I don't believe that anyone would have a problem getting out of third world country. Second of all such amount of money in cash is not held on bank accounts except in Switzerland. Most businessmen reinvest the money very quickly. Donald Trump (One of Top relestate magnates) doesn't have millions on his bank account, neither does Bill Gates or any of the rich people. Money as a rule of business are reinvested because if they sit in the bank account they are being eaten away by inflation.Finally accumulation of such capital by legitimate means in a third world country is questionable and having it still in possession after the rebellion is even bigger uncertainty.

Dragoon Knight Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Colnel_here: this is a scam, full stop. There is no question about it, no debate - nothing. It's a scam.Razor 1256: By replying to the email, you have confirmed you exist. Expect a slew of spam for the rest of that email address' existence. Also expect your IP address to be the target of attempted malware attacks. You should NEVER reply to these emails. Do nothing but report them as spam / phishing and then delete them.Andrew: I agree, this is pretty advanced. It's akin to that poker ad thing that happened a few weeks ago - really nice tie-in that I'm sure the creators of this scam think will fool us silly Westerners.All in all, I'm impressed. They've found new and creative ways to make an idiotic idea seem more realistic... but still idiotic. Roffle.
