Location: Rhinelander | I get a kick out of these scammers. They don't seem to know what a normal US based name is, and use first names in all sorts of weird orders.

| Got the same thing about two months ago. I knew it was a scam from the get go. Lead them on for awhile. but once I asked for a credit card number they said they couldn't cause they were out at sea. More like across the sea. |

Location: Rhinelander | Hi,
My name is Mrs. Samuel Fred. my late husband, a Victor of Holy Crap fortune wanted to send friends fishing with you as his last wishes before dying of laughter anyone would fall for this scam. I would lik to employ youre service for my friends to fish you with. I will send you too much dollars in a serta fyed check, and ask you send any excess fees back. My agent in USA will be contacting you for de tails.
Send funds via ecletronic transfir. I will send bad fake serta fyed check, screw you and laugh all day from the Republic of Congo.
Sure...I'll do that. |

| I was wondering why they wouldnt tell me where they got my contact info or which body of water they wanted to fish. Thanks for the tip, Rusty |
