Lucky me indeed, because I can pay off this guy really easily once Mr Obutu’s widow sends me the $10,000,000 she owes me and the Random Lottery pays me the $20,000,000 I won last week, and I receive the inheritence left behind by my previously unknown of uncle who died in an accident in Zaire.

:laughing:

i suggest you plead poverty. Try to renegotiate his terms. Send him body parts a bit at a time. Hairballs, lint, nail clippings, foot rubbings, scabs, bellybutton gut, hacked-up loogies, and all the other unmentionables. Suggest he store them in seperate sterilized containers. That way his investment will morph out over time. :grandpa:

It was me, but Danny’s lying.
I’m not under his control.
You know what to do. If you don’t have the money, a packet of Smarties will do instead. Do not try to contact me or it will be the worse for you. You have been warned.

Now that’s just scary.

Youre related to that guy in Zimbabwe that died and youre the long lost cousin or something???Duuuudeee we are like soooo related then man!!!

What’s even more astonishing is that guy’s my banker. What a small world.

Surely “give me US$30,000 or I’ll shoot you” would be more effective?

You do realize that the lawyer handling the Obutu case also handle’s your previous unknown uncle’s inheritance AND is on the administrative board of the random email lottery don’t you? :shh:

Did you think he was going to let you keep your winnings/inheritance/split of the loot?:ponder:

Literally hundreds of people have died shortly after receiving similar emails. I think this threat is for real. :astonished:

You told me those pictures of us were private, Sandman. He doesn’t have the ones of me - does he?
