I too use the fax program on PC but Its better to send to a number they actually answer. You will hear their hello then fax tone... Copy number and send it to them all day.

Looks like the fools didn't communicate with each other as to who was supposed to send the check. Cool thing is they are out almost 40.00 for DHL This is an "clever scam" they will purchase something on E-bay,etc and send a check for meore than the purchase amount and ask you to send them the difference. Often it will be a "certified check" or money order so it looks legit. of course it isnt. Now you are our the item and the "extra funds". Years ago I received a letter saying I had won some "unimproved property" in Mexico over looking the Sea of Cortez. In 20 years the land would revert back to the Mexican gov. And I only had to pay a " small" yearly maintenance fee. Of course I jumped right on that......not.

I hate to bump something that is slightly old, but darn you guys have some funny ideas. I typically don't have time to bother with any responses, but the ones from out of the country are so sad it's hilarious. They must really think Americans are fools.
The sad thing is that they must keep sending them because somebody is actually responding to them. Now that is scary. :confused:

I had one of those "I've found millions in a dormant account and want to share it with you" scams some months ago which purported to be from an official at a big London bank. His English spelling and grammar were so bad that I doubt he could even get a job as a counter clerk, never mind anything higher. The address he gave didn't match up with the postal district; I forget the actual places he used, but it was something like claiming to be in Paddington and then using London EC2 (East Central) when Paddington is West -- About as obvious a mistake as trying to tell a New Yorker that Wall St. is in Brooklyn. The phone numbers were for some other part of London entirely, although I wouldn't expect the average person to have spotted that. But the real icing on the cake was the suggestion that I would receive 3,500,000 lbs. cash. Say what? :rofl: Even people who have never set foot in Britain know that lb. is for weight and £ is for currency.

Yes, I don't know what list I ended up on, but I get several daily now. I think I could have retired many times over by now.....

The last one I did this to actually had the b*lls to call me the next day to give me sh*t for wasting HIS paper, ink and tel line. Yeah right....
Dave I love it! :rofl: I will have to remember that one...
