My day’s started rather well. I arrived at work to find that I’ve won a lottery in Thailand. My winnings are 550 000 US dollars which is over 740 000 Australian dollars. Not a bad return considering I’ve never been to Thailand or entered any lotteries.
I then found that David K. Modu, from the diamond-rich district of Sierra Leone, wants me to have 3.75 million US dollars from his late father’s fortune. That’s over five million Australian Dollars.
I’m doing pretty well. That’s almost 6 million dollars for just opening my email.
I reckon the only thing that could make my day better is if these email scams were the real thing.

Aha, you and me both!
Apparently someone’s offering me a great deal on pills that will allow me to give my girlfriend what she needs! Amazing — especially considering I’m single! But what about that poor guy in Sierra Leone who needs my investment to get him out of trouble with the government over there. I guess it’s too bad that I’m broke.
Wonder how many people fall for these scams?
Rodney, what is the name of the cream we used for backsides? I have friends who are riding the Nullabor come September with Jim Blaxland’s group. I’m also hoping I can catch up with Graeme Best & Kevin Barraclough who will be over here to do across canada. I’m still on Vancouver Island BC.
Hey Barbara, if one of these things ever works out, I’ll send you a cheque. 🙂
Chris, I’ve had lots of offers of ‘medical help’ to please my wife and my girlfriend. I can only imagine there are a lot of guys with a lot of issues out there.
Keasty, I think people fall for the scams because they’re greedy and so when they see a chance to make money for nothing, their brain goes out the window. By the way, the product your friends need is Silcon. No scam there. 🙂
