First, my son does not live with us. One day I got a UPS package addressed to what I thought was my husband(son and husband have same name if no one puts JR or SR behind it) so I opened it to find 4 $875.00 postal money orders. I called my husband who knew nothing about it. Then I looked in the envelope again and there was a letter of what to do. My son doesn't have a phone because he's not working,(Probably how he got caught up in this) so I had to wait for him to come by. The very next morning we got another package addressed to my husband(different sender) with 5 $500.00 Travelers Checks, so I started looking into this on the internet and found you guys. Which in turn made me check my son's email. He has over 9,000 emails of which about 1,500 are all scams. My son actually thought he was about to do something legit until we explained how stupid they really sound. It's one thing to hear it in your mind, and another to hear it from someone's mouth. Now, he feels so dumb. Now, we're getting threatening phone calls to boot. I could kill my son for using our address and phone not his. But it was for the best or there's no telling what trouble he would be in right now! Anyway, MO and checks are in hands of PD. And if any scambaiters wants a few emails to work with I will be glad to forward them from his email. I don't have time like that. There are waaaayy too many. Not to say I probably wouldn't be any good at it anyway. There are credit applications, lotto winnings, charity givers, job offers, someone wanting to be his girlfriend badly, please help us out of this country pleadings, etc. Microsoft winnings, Bank of America password changes(don't have an account) a little bit of everything mentioned here plus some.Even a woman in New York that is deaf and wants to give her money away because she was saved by God. Let's not talk about what you have to do for the Christmas money or the end of the year loan giveaways. I'm here to give away a few emails. Any takers? Over 1,500 of them mostly since Oct. Wish I could have time to even read them all for a good laugh--mispellings, etc. And the many, many names that they use. Mostly all first name types, like Mary William, Steve Roberts, James George, etc. Then the foreign names and places, Yea Right!

They mostly have one thing in common though, It's a plain text email even the credit applications. Can't see how anyone could believe that the plain text credit app. is legit? But I guess when one is in financial straits anything sounds and looks legit if it could make or get them money.
