Michelle received this email today. It's not exactly a 419 scam, but of course, it's a scam just the same. It made us laugh, so I thought I would share it with you.

Subject: ARE YOU IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?


Good Day



Here comes a private lender Mr Sammy White offer loan to different country i also offer private loan to individual so if you are totally down of getting a loan so i will inform you that you are in the right place my company does not require for credit check so if you are interested of getting this loan you have to contact us via Email sammy_loan_org@sify.com for further information ok



Hope to hear from you soon,



Mr Sammy White






The next step would be to contact him and give him all the information he would need to either steal your identity or get you to send some kind of collateral. This particular scammer could use a better translation and grammar dictionary...







Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

What, you mean your not buying it? Sheeesh, some people are hard to convince.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

Pathetic, but after all, this is America, Sucker Capital of the World. "Sammy" is probably raking in the cash already.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
