Money in the Netherlands



This is the first time I've recieved one of these SPAMs that supposedly originated from the Netherlands. It's much better written than the typical Nigerian SPAMs. The originating Email and the response Email addresses weren't Dutch though so they might have covered that angle to be more complete.

All-in-all, it's a pretty good hook though. What do you think?

What are you crazy, you didn't reply to dear, sweet Mother Susan? I'm so lucky I'm next in line I guess for those millions! Even having to give 70%, we'll still be set for life!

ROFL! Seriously the sad part is there are people out there who fall for these emails.

I've had "fun" with them a couple times when they send it to an address I have set up through yahoo and don't check too often!

Personally that has to be one of the worst jobs out there, coming up with these emails and then hitting send...wow don't you feel like you're contributing to the world! :)

Just once in my life, I'd like to meet a person dumb enough to actually believe these kinds of messages. We know that such people exist, because otherwise the scammers would have stopped sending these things years ago.

My mind boggles when I imagine what such a person would look and sound like. It's almost too frightening to contemplate.

Thanks for sharing this newer twist on an old favorite. You always compel with what you share.

Michele thinks so, too!
