Groan. What makes me think "she" wants your bank account number? This is like the old

Nigerian scams. I guess they send out a million of these and get back a few hundred responses

from lonely confused souls. I've sustained a few relationships online as a widower (I'm now

happily married to a bride I first met in 1967), but I've never met anyone online. It's pretty risky.

Yeah, I got it, too. I reckon it's unavoidable from time to time. I'm going to check out that link condorlover1 shared. :twisted:

I got bad news that I had to leave town for the next 2 days on business but then I saw this spam that I got. I laughed my balls off. Gift as a username damn can the scammers make it many more obvious it really did turn my day around. All the mail order bride stuff also gave me a good laugh. :rofl:

I received the same message. You can see our new friend Gift20's profile HERE.
Our new friend Gift Oumar lives in Daker Hawaii, smokes Meerschaum pipes, and has been a pipe smoker since February 1991. Sounds legit to me! :wink:

Haven't seen this one yet. . . but GMail has a fantastic spam filter, so I'd have to go looking for it in my Junk folder anyway. . .

Im so happy you reached out to me! I just happened to win the lottery but unfortunately I'm married! Please send me $1500 so I can fly you out here and we can have you claim our prize and live happily ever after!

I just received two identical pm's from the person in question. I replied, will marry for large quantities of Penzance or vintage Three Nuns.
