Mr Duck, honestly you are soooo lucky to have so many offers of this kind. Hopefully you will share this good fortune around and allow some of us less fortunate punters have a go! I believe you are on the GPML otherwise I don't know how you are receiving all these emails. I suggest you unsubscribe form the Gullible Person Mailing List so you won't get tempted to actually follow through on one of these marvellous deals.

Terro.

Cunning buggers generating a scam out of scams.
Gee these blokes are really on the internet scam ball.
Once they have your personal details, they goodle you, then want you to pay for their work, the insurance and funds incurred in the transaction of your funds to Australia. They never address the letter to you personally. Then they say Western Union or other international money handlers have the funds. Not them. But you still have to pay them to help with the investigation.
So transparent, and yet so dangerous.
They only have to con one in a hundred to make it worth their while.
I don't send any details, but I do keep the ball rolling unitl they hit me for money, and then I respond with a very abusive reply in fluent Australian paddock French.
They never reply.
I then send all the emails with as much detail as possible to Australian Scam Watch. Yeah!

If you wonder why people fall for such an obvious scam here is my thoughts:

Intelligence and stupidity are not mutually exclusive....

Greed and common sense are.

Thanks Gary.....for at least being willing to wait till I got the money. I can tell you mate if I ever got any money from any of them I would be sharing it with the entire Grey Nomad site. How generous is that?? This may encourage you to assist me in procuring this money.
