4. I've never seen it before but how can anyone fall for that?

I received it and it had been forwarded countless times already.

[Rick Myers]

2. REALLY OLD!!!

[LA lady]

3. Yes, only about 20 times

Only about 20 times, it's an old hoax. When things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

[Berry Cool]

5. The whole thing is just so ridiculous.

It would be someone saying "Trust me, I'm a doctor, and I KNOW medicine!" as a means of convincing you that the you-know-what enhancement products plugged by a spammer really, really work...

[LARED]

6. This is true, send me all your money and it

will be true. Honest.

[The Flaming Red Head]

7. Hit Reply. write. Just found all that money up your ass

Please, seek colonoscopy fast.


That's what I always tell them all whether it's the Nigerian who lost money needs my help or whatever.

9. Nah, the girl who forwarded it to me is pretty sexy

And a little naive.

[Divernan]

8. Tell whoever sent this to you that he can buy the Brooklyn Bridge too.
