[dillos]

i found often these email in my inbox
I AM MRS. SONIA WILLIAM, A DEAF WIDOW TO LATE ROBERT WILLIAM FROM SEATTLE
WASHINGTON,USA. PRESENTLY IN ISRAEL RECEIVING TREATMENTS, I AM 61 YEARS
OLD, I AM NOW A NEW CHRISTIAN CONVERT, SUFFERING FROM LONG TIME CANCER OF
THE BREAST,FROM ALL INDICATION MY CONDITIONS IS REALLY DETERIORATING AND IT
IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I WON'T LIVE MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, ACCORDING TO MY
DOCTORS,THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANCER STAGE HAS GOTTEN TO A VERY BAD STAGE. MY
LATE HUSBAND WAS KILLED DURING THE U.S. RAID AGAINST TERRORISM IN
AFGHANISTAN, AND DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR MARRIAGE WE WERE UNABLE TO
PRODUCE A CHILD.


AFTER HIS DEATH, I INHERITED ALL HIS BUSINESS AND WEALTH. THE DOCTORS HAS
ADVISED ME THAT I MAY NOT LIVE FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, SO I NOW DECIDED TO
DIVIDE THE PART OF THIS WEALTH, TO DONATE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH
IN AFRICA, AMERICA ASIA, AND EUROPE. I PRAYED OVER IT, I AM WILLING TO GIVE
THE $8.6MILLION DOLLARS, TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED. RIGHT THE THE FUND IS
DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN USA. I AM OF AWARE THAT THERE ARE LOTS
OF SCAM IN INTERNET, I SWEAR TO YOU WITH THE NAME OF OUR LORD THAT THIS IS
NEVER A SCAM.YOUR HELP WILL SAFE MANY LIFE IN THE WORLD, LET GOD TOUCH YOUR
HEART TO HEAR MY CRY.



LASTLY, I ALSO WANT YOU TO ASSURE ME THAT WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE FUND IT WILL
BE USED FOR THE SAID PURPOSE. MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS THE LOVE OF
GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I AWAIT URGENT
REPLY.


YOUR'S IN CHRIST.

MRS. SONIA WILLIAM

I often think if someone falls in these scams

Was there some other part of the email asking you to actually do something? The poor old woman didn't leave you any instructions about how to get your share of the money.

The problem with these scams is they're written by idiots and then poorly translated into english which makes them look like even bigger idiots. They need to hire an english script writer. And they need to stop playing the sympathy card. Nobody cares if you're sick because apparently you're a millionaire on the other side of the planet. The world is full of sick poor people who live next door. And nobody believes anyone is giving money away for free. It just doesn't happen.

If you want to steal people's ID and get people's money just pretend you're starting a new reality tv show. God knows why these things are so popular but half of North America and Most of Europe will send a urine sample if they think there's a remote chance they'll get to be one one of these ridiculous shows. Send 5 dollars for the terms and conditions and the application with instructions to be considered for the next episode of you don't mind looking like a jackass in front of a million people because apparently this planet has an endless supply of people who don't mind looking like a jackass in front of a million people.

In fact if you make the terms and conditions completely impossible to abide by you can probably just legally keep everyone's money. Some casinos do it every day and you won't need to pay for pesky software licenses. Just call up some random producer and pitch an idea that might actually be interesting, Lord knows that'll never fly and then email everyone back and say the show was canceled due to lack of interest. Sorry for any inconvenience, thank you for your 5 bucks.
