Well, I was kinda bluffing, but okay:

Tell me, Kyle, do you know who any of those people are preceding you in your list? Or do you even care, as long as your step ends in bringing you some amount of wealth?

Secondly, do you realize how silly it is to post your own name and address in a message board?

...which proves you're not the kind of person I'd want to send any amount of money to.

Have a nice day.

Hmm a couple of questions do require an answer.

1. As you are providing a service that folks are paying you for then surely you are running a business. How do you go about registering your business with the IRS? (or Income Tax Office in the UK).

2. Why send cash instead of a check? (maybe because a check needs formal ID and a bank account to cash).

3. Is it not easier to contact the various Spam, Junk Mail, Tele-sales firms, Salesman, and so-on directly and ask them how much they are willing to pay for your personal details? (of course it's not, besides it's embarrasing to listen to someone laughing hysterically at you on the phone).

4. Why does this scam stink worse than a barrel of sardines on the back of a camel?

5. Don't you think it is absolutely stupid to encourage kids to post their private details to millions of people? Yep the details are available in the phone book but who are the perverts in this world gonna pick.........a random address from a phonebook or a spammer that has "I'm gullible" written all over their address?.

(note to the Admins. Sorry slight flame content in this post, delete it if you feel nessesary )

Heh... too bad he stumbled on a board frequented by intellectuals...

Not that I'm one of them, mind you.

But I am impressed that you actually stuck around to answer those questions, glib... I thought it'd be one of those post-and-run situations.

Interesting definition of "bunch" you have there, glib, as there are but two of us "torchers". Or are we "hollaras", Coney? That has a nice ring to it.

Hollaras......I like that

Cool you responded to the post before any ........erm......impressionable ...'mooters got caught into it

I've seen this kind of scam too many times

To Glib: Good luck with your dealings with the IRS!..........like it or lump it, there is no such thing as free money

Without flames, too! Is that not cool? He didn't seem like a shabby character, but... well, you read my posts.

And I'm putting something in my signature concerning "hollaras" right now.

Get rich quick schemes are usually not permitted at most MBs, and in the case of this particular thread which started out otherwise, has spun out of control. Closing.
