For those of you who have an email address here at FT, please be aware of the following hoax :
No 2c Agric Avenue Victoria Inland Johanesbough South Africa. (MONEY TRANSACTION) My name is Mr.Frank Lee and I work in the International operation department in a Local Bank here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL. Of 36,000,000 (Thirty Six Million USD) on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has long since passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in particular and I am certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the claim of this money A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. I will provide the necessary information needed in order to claim this money, But you will need to open an account where this can be transfered. If interested send your private Telephone And Fax numbers including full details of the account to be used for the Deposit I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction as my job and the future of my family would be jeopardized if it were breached. I want to assure you that the transaction is without risk if due process is followed accordingly. Finally, I will give you 25% for your corporation. I look forward to a favourable response from you through this my private e-mail adrress: <nally_lee_frank@yahoo.com> Yours, Frank Lee . __________________________________ -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada |

that sounds like a sweet deal. 9 million for just opening an account. He's got a lot of trust, what if I just kept all the money for myself? -------------- Tuesday nights in the 80s? I was always in bed by 8. ...and home by 10. Oh! |

Oh boy! Is there really people out there that fall for this stuff? I just got one for a horse I was selling, an individual wanted me to give them all my information so they could money order a large payment and have the horse shipped overseas - she was a Tennessee Spotted Walker, not dipped in gold! Unbelievable what people will come up with!-------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I took a class for my Master's in Education last summer that told us about those hoaxes from South Africa. It's amazing how many people fall for stuff like that though. Thanks for the heads-up!!:)-------------- Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again. James R. Cook |

Here's another one of those letters. I am tempted to reply.
This chain letter was started in hopes of bringing relief to other tired and discouraged men. Just send a copy of this letter to five of your friends who are equally tired and discontented. Then bundle up your wife and/or girlfriend and send her to the man whose name appears at the top of the following list, and add your name to the bottom of the list. When your turn comes, you will receive 15,625 women. One of them is bound to be better than the one you already have. At the writing of this letter, a friend of mine has already received 184 women, of whom four were worth keeping. REMEMBER this chain brings luck. One man's pit bull died, and the next day he received a Playboy playmate. An unmarried man living with his widowed mother was able to choose between a Hooter's waitress and a Hollywood super model. You can be lucky too, but DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN ! One man broke the chain and got his wife back again. Let's keep it going, men! Just add your name to the bottom of the list below! Bill Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 Billy Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 William Jefferson Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 W. Jefferson Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 W. Jeff Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 W. J. Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 W. Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 William J Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 Mr. Hillary Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 Mr. Slick Willie Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY10017 -------------- Waterskis with buffalo How come we never hear the other end of the conversation with the\"can you hear me now\" guy?
