I think nowadays her name is Michelle Obama.

[Riverman94610]

Ha,good one!

[ErnBatavia]

I receive at least two each day.

Funny - getting two a day in my freebie Yahoo mailbox, but just in the past few weeks....never, ever got one before.

You know, something like this would make a good plot for a movie. I remember soldiers actually finding - literally - tons of gold bars, cubic feet of $100 bills, etc. What if some random soldier found that and needed help to smuggle it out of Iraq?

It could be an updated version of Kelly’s Heroes.

[dynachrome]

Dang it. Ya was supposed to share that money with me!

Good idea, but I think you'd need more than one soldier to make it a hit.

There was/is a Federal depository a block or two south of Wall Street. Every once in a while in the nineties one would turn the corner to find pallets of ingots stacked in the street awaiting transport. If there was a security detail larger than two guys with revolvers they were well hidden.

Try this reply:
“Thank you. The money you promised arrived but I spent it already so when you want it, sorry it’s all gone. But again thanks.”
May as well mess with their criminal minds a bit.

[Slings and Arrows]

Pinging the expert.

If I send you my bank information, will you tell me exactly where it is? (respond privately)

[wtc911]

I do believe that the weight of the ingots made them kind of self-guarding.

But, I assure you that the story is 100% true. I saw them twice myself.

[wtc911]

Haven't heard from her in a while...I hope she's OK...

How ‘bout throwing out the email so we can have a little fun with the scammer?

[Political Junkie Too]

I like the part about how it is not stolen money, and then they admit that it was "quite an illegal thing to do."

Nigerian 419. Does any one really believe someone would share their wealth with a total stranger? Then I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

[GunHoardingCapitalist]

They already made a movie similar to it called “Three Kings” It stars Mark Wahlburg, Ice Cube, and George C’Loonie.

[PLMerite]

I meant a *good* one.
