    Well, if her race is “Colorado” then she can’t be all that bad. You should send her an email.

    A lot of men send me “they have to know me” mail. Actually some for real, which boggles my mind being 65, but most the mail is a con to embezzle money from me. I get letters also telling me the ‘good news’ of how they have just won $100,000.00 and they saw my name on the winners list and as my friend they couldn’t wait to tell me so I could collect and start spending my money. Of course, I can get it faster if I send them my internet account number so they can put money in it for me to give the prize people. In one week I won 3 contests that Facebook was having. The last two cons were a bit hard to laugh at however. One was using our pastor’s wife’s facebook. Tammie is in the hosp having surgery for cancer, which she has been fighting for 20 years. The con had no way of knowing I have known Tammie for so long. The last con, which was three days ago was someone using the picture and facepage of a soldier in Iraq. The s.o.b. gave me a letter to send another person who was” the president of a bank in the United Nations” and the letter would allow me to get his safety deposit box to take care of for him. Hmm. The vaulted bank wasn’t good enough? I knew the dipshit wasn’t a soldier by the third sentence out of his mouth. And he sure didn’t do much research because the soldier he picked was a General as in a Be My Little General. ( that is a Liet. Gen. for all you civilians out there. A three star.) Not so funny is that 1 in every 1,000 people fall for a scam on the internet. Lonely older people, and lonely middle aged people, younger people who do not know much about the world yet. Any age can fall for some of the crap that comes from the minds of evil men and women. The cons themselves are usually uneducated, but there are some out there who are quite clever and quite believable. Thank you Wil for showing one more example what these nits will try to do. Plus it proves my point. They aren’t that bright. Be brighter.
