i mean, really!!! Do people actually send these people money??? I got another one asking for $80.00 shipping fee. I get that one every single day from various email addresses. I never open then. I just wanted to show you this one. As soon as i see the word solicitor in the subject line i immediately delete the whole thing.

I can't believe that anyone would send them money.

Hi.

I got this one today!!!

Greetings,

This is a personal email directed to you for your consideration alone, I request that it remain and be treated as such only. Please bear with me for now and do not ask my name. I am a banker with HSBC in the United Kingdom. I have an interesting business proposal for you that will be of immense benefit to both of us. Although this may be hard for you to believe, we stand to gain 7.2 million USD between us in a matter of days. Please grant me the benefit of doubt and hear me out. I need you to signify your interest by replying to this email.

Most importantly, I will need you to promise to keep whatever you learn from me between us even if you decide not to go along with me. I will make more details available to you on receipt of a positive response from you. Do contact me only at my private email address: privatepost05@hotmail.com

DO NOT ASK HIS NAME??

Why would anyone contact a person who tells them "do not ask his name"

I guess there still are gullible people out there.

I am reminded of my dear Uncle who was about 85 at the time, who would get these letters in his mail box, and he called me one day all excited because he won the lottery.

I was immediately suspicious because I knew that he never played the lottery and when I confirmed this I said "Uncle, how can you win at something you never participated in"?

And he replied "But the guy in the letter told me I won and if I send him a handling fee, I can get the money".

I immediately, and politely explained the whole thing to him, and he said sadly "you mean, I sent these guys money for nothing?"

That's who they prey on. The elderly and the gullible.

These people should all be shot.

But that's just my opinion.
