For sure. Free money for everyone! I'll send you a Cashiers check for $10K, alright? Just take what you need and send me a check for the remainder of what you don't use.

Awesome. I hope you pointed me out to the right side of the plane.
That has to be a pretty awesome way to make a living. Eyecandy took me up in his Mooney Ovation in the Bahama's a couple years ago (and even let me take the controls for a bit) and it certainly was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had.

Perhaps some day I'll be able to build a small helicopter or something.

It's hard to feel bad about someone stupid enough to fall for something like this.

Unfortunately I know a elder lady that fell for one of these scams and they destroyed her credit -- she was 78 and died recently with lawyers still trying to contact her. She lived in a different era from you and I and probably wasn't entirely 100% there -- but she was a good person none the less.

I for one think it is disguesting nothing is done about these endless scams that have destroyed many a people's lives -- mostly elderly look for some safe retirement money.

Free money? That's a very generous offer. Almost too good to be true.
