I don't know who this is Brenda or why he thinks we are clueless enough to go with this ad of his. No matter how many times I block out that email addy, they just send it again from a different addy.My block sender address portion is getting to be like a telephone book section.

Hi Brenda,

I am convinced that this guy is a secret admirer of yours in disguise. He probably is parading his unlimited wealth in an attempt to garner interest on your behalf.

P.S. And yes, Yukos Oil does indeed exist. Whether it is the largest oil company in Russia I really don't know, but it is big !!

Ted- OT - Who is Mike Zakharenko - 2 timer - Huh Charlotte?

Well, he's not impressing me, he is also apparently writing Charlotte the same letters. Harumphing off......snorting: "Men!"

Blame my dad. Pop is 73 and LOVES his e-mail. He writes all sorts of replies to these guys. Has created an alternate persona named Nancy. She wants to help them get their money because she needs the % offered for medical bills. I keep telling him it is bad karma.

When the final meetings are arranged he sets it up with Mr. A. Jolson and gives the phone number as 310-641-0707. That is Hillside Memorial where Al Jolson is buried. He has also been known to say he sent a western union deposit with the code word 'ponzi'.

Pop is easily amused.

Sam, your dad would love this site that scams the scammers!

He'll have a ball with www.ebolamonkeyman.com. It's hilarious and one of Brenda's favorites!

Sounds like your Pop is a man after my own heart. I'm the type of person who will mail junk mail back to the senders in their own prepaid envelope. It gives the USPS a little bit of money. I also use my fax number to weed out persistent sales callers when I ask for information on something. Rather have them fax it, then maybe I'll talk.
