Awesome!!!
You lucky dog!
Sounds totally legit. Forward it to Corey Booker, he needs the cash.
Score!
I say go for it. But search Janes Vietch on YouTube for responding to this kind of email. He’s got it figured out.
Hilarous videos! They were like popcorn!
I only feel it neighborly if I share my Two Million, Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars Only with anyone here who has been scammed in any part of the world today. (Washington, D.C, doesn’t count.)
Evelyn Anita sounds hot. Too bad she’s married.
He only identifies as a Mrs.
And now that you’re rich you can get any fella you want. Go for it!
So who said the UN was worthless?
What you might not realize is that it’s an actual UN email.
