Email Scam

[Dartgod]

This came through our mail server yesterday. A new take on email scams.

I'll have to admit, even though I know this is a scam, I'd be a bit unnerved if I received this in my inbox.

Do not contact the police or try to send a copy of this to them, because if you do i will know, and might be pushed to do what i have being paid to do,beside this is the first time i turned out to be a betrayer in my job.

Now listen,i will arrange for us to see face to face but before that i need the amount of $20,000.00 and you will have nothing to be afraid of.I will be coming to see you in your office or home .depending where you wish we meet,do not set any camera to cover us or set up any tape to record our conversation,my employer is in my control now,

You will need to pay $10,000.00 to the account i will provide for you, before we will set our first meeting,after you have make the first advance payment to the account,i will give you the tape that contains his request for me to terminate you, which will be enough evidence for you to take him to court(if you wish to), then the balance will be paid later.

Warning; do not contact the police, make sure you stay indoors once it is 7.30pm until this whole thing is sorted out, if you neglect any of these warnings, you will have yourself to blame. You do not have much time, so get back to me immediately

Note: I will advise you keep this to yourself alone, not even a friend or a family member should know about it because it could be one of them.

Out of curiosity, would you have found my statement more credible if I had misspelled a few words?

Sorry Dart.

I meant to send that to Prison Bitch.

Meet him.

Arrange with another friend of yours who is batshit crazy to show up at the meeting.

Kill him.

Problem solved.

My parents have had a couple of similar calls over the last few years but didn't bite.

My mom got unsuccessfully scammed like that with someone pretending to represent one of her grandchildren stuck in a foreign jail. She freaked out and, unfortunately, the first person she was able to get in contact with was my idiot sister who also fell for the scam. They both started freaking out on the phone with each other while trying to figure out what to do because the name that the scammer settled on actually matched up with two people in the family. My sister finally called me, and I bitched her out for about fifteen minutes for being such a dumbass and letting our mom get so worked up.

It's not a scam, but I was walking to a meeting downtown the other day and needed to make a restroom stop. I wandered into a hotel, trying to look like a confident guest, and meandered into a big convention. It would have been easy to crash their breakfast buffet.

If I ever find myself homeless, I'll migrate to a place with a lot of conventions. I won't have to eat out of trash cans.
