Subject: RENDER SERVICE


Greetings!
I am Johnson Smith from London UK, I came across your profile after an effortless search for a professional photographer. We are relocating to my new house that I just buy in IL, USA, I mean I and my wife and children on August 21st 2006, but I will be celebrating my birthday on October 11th 2006, So I want your service on my birthday October 11th 2006.
My address which the birthday party will take place is below:

13044 Depue Ave
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19116
That is my house address that I just buy and moving from London to in USA.
The birthday party will start 12pm to 4pm, so you can arrive the same day to our house if you like, or you can arrive at our house day b4 the party, just let me know which one you wish to do, but my house have adjacent rooms which you can stay in one of them if you like to come b4 the day of party. I invited 30 friends and that is all we are expecting on the day.
So let me know your charges rate for the party including the Airfare or your transportation amount, and let me know the amount all together, so I can arrange for the payment in time and you can be able to book the day for my Birthday Party.
I’m attending a Conference here in Beijing China now so you can reach me on this mobile number +861346377762 Anytime from Monday to Sunday.
Thanks.
But do I go to his new house in Illinois or Philly
The one in Philly is still listed though... http://ygraine.membrane.com/~real_es...3044depue.html
Hmmmm

LOL
Not!


DINGLEBERRY!

What an idiot. If you do not have a grasp on the English language, you should not purport to be an affluent English man from London trying to retain a photographer for your 30 person birthday party.

I wonder how many of these morons actually succeed with these scams. I almost got caught on a Wachovia scam, but realized what it was before entering my logon ID and password. Rocky wasn't as lucky with the paypal spoof. Now, I do not pay attention to any of these e-mail things unless I actually know, and I mean know face to face, the person sending me the e-mail.

I got a similar one by some guy in Africa asking to use my attorney escrow account to hold his money in until he could get to the states. Imagine trying to explain to my clients and bar counsel how I lost all of my clients' money/escrow funds. These people should all be lined up and shot. Okay, maybe shot is a little harsh, but I wouldn't be opposed to 20 whippings or canings to be performed by each person that falls victim to this crap.

Hey fabs,

No lined up and shot is not too harsh in fact it's a brilliant idea already in use in China. They line them up one behind the other so it only requires one bullet to shoot about half a dozen

The courts in China have a special alley type place in back of the court buildings for just this.

For the first time in a while, I checked my aol spam box and it contained an e-mail from a Nigerian barrister/attorney looking for the lost relatives of Alex Roman because he, his wife, and his two children died in a car accident, and the next of kin died on 9/11/2001 in the World Trade Center. However, he found me and wants to give me the $14.5 million dollars left behind by Mr. Roman. DELETE

Also got two more from Paypal. The paypal ones must be paying off pretty good since there are so many going out. DELETE

Skinny, aren't your services worth about $200 per hour plus expenses including travel time, paid by cashiers check and performed only after the check is confirmed and cleared?

Skinny

I spoke with the listing agent on the property, a Mr. Mohsin Syed. He recently relocated to PA from Iraq. He sold real estate there during the BOOM period and decided to come to the U.S. based on a recommendation from Johnson Smith whom he met while attending British schools. Now Johnson Smith is an international merchant and has real estate holdings all over the world. The property at 13044 Depue Ave is in escrow with Johnson and will close the first part of October and that is why he is celebrating his birthday there.
So Skinny, trust your Johnson

Fabs, what if you were to open a NEW savings account at a bank different from the normal use one, only deposit the smallest $ to open one......tell this guy with the 14 mil to deposit it there?....sure hate to see an American loose out on their millions.lol

When I ran my web store, I set it up with a few accounts that only messed with $100 limits at any given time and alternated use of each with a time span so I could keep watch on them...that way if I were to get scammed, I wouldn't have killed any personal accounts and my personal account information was never close to any of it....never in the same bank as the store ones were....lesson learned way before that when check/savings in same bank and the bank put money into my savings instead of checking.....not good when wrote check for a purchase and no money there.....???...bank took care of everything and they even contacted where I wrote the check to and explained their mistake...so the store didn't put my on their bad check list....I don't even deal checking and savings in same banks anymore.

..you can't trust anyone...I set up a school account for my youngest daughter...put in enough each year to pay her expenses..tuition, books, transportation etc etc....when the punk working where she was buying her gasoline from got her numbers from her card when she bought gasoline and took quite a bit of her school money from the account....well I got it back for her...I was told I would have to wait in line for my money...I told them I put it there for her education and I don't care about anyone else in line..I want my money now as was her school money.....got it too.....the kid took off after getting fired and I (still looking for him to this day) found out he applied to the same gasoline company at a different location...some acorns huh?

A store owner friend of mine I drove to her bank for her daily deposit stuffed everything in her bra....said those were the only two suckers in this world she trusted with her money...
