You're right. What was I thinking? This is the second request I have received from Forum members this morning. Go ahead. Send me your bank account numbers. I'll make deposits into your accounts today. Your friend, Rick PS What's Joycelyn's address in Kyiv, Ukraine (are you sure that's in the Phillipines?).

Jocelyn A. Chadwick Rick, You are indeed lucky, but also I would think conscience-bound to send half of it to Jocelyn, who is (as far as I know) still stranded in Kyiv, Ukraine (that's in the Phillipines). Think of those less fortunate. Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Talbot" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 8:21:16 AM Subject: Re: Bad Moment !!! Jocelyn A. Chadwick Yes, these Internet hackers can be dangerous. I on the other hand lucked out when I answered a Nigerian prince's email request. He said he was a Mark Twain fan. His country is in turmoil and he needed a place to store several million dollars for a short time. He seemed like a nice guy and he promised me a HUGE gift for this small favor. I gave him my bank account numbers and now, this morning, I am going to the bank to pick up my check for $3,000,000.00! Isn't that amazing? So the lesson here is sometimes you can trust these Internet things and sometimes you can't. I guess I'm just the lucky one.
