Everyone at the ProArts web site in Jersey City, NJ was contacted by "Joyce," so we did some searching, and here's your wonderful story.<br /><br />Margaret--didn't this person you were on to her completely? What a riot.<br /><br />If you really want to pee your pants, my musician pal Steve Espinola posted his pornographic responses to a Nigerian email that will make you CRY with laughter. Here's the link:<br />http://steveespinola.com/nigerian.html<br /><br />Enjoy, and good going!maffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635756411794351877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013530919398545410.post-71127676477342609922009-08-24T16:22:58.445-07:002009-08-24T16:22:58.445-07:00What a trip!

When Prince Utanga told me he was sending me two million dollars, I told him I was so grateful he got back in touch with me and that we were starting production on my new film thanks to his investment, Liz put a stop to it. I was having such a good time. Congrats on the award. <br />Glenn in LAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013530919398545410.post-27287769418684674012009-08-23T15:09:59.836-07:002009-08-23T15:09:59.836-07:00I had so much fun following the trail of the e-mai...I had so much fun following the trail of the e-mails.

I assume if you sent the check drafted on your account for the difference she would have your checking account info and be able to do something disastrous with it. What a way to make $$$. Unfortunately there is probably someone out there who will "bite".

Of course we said yes, and she replied that she had just got a call from someone claiming to be her grandson and that he was in jail in Canada and his parents refused to send money this time to bail him out. Could she send money to help him?<br /><br />I am glad she wasn't fooled either. <br /><br />I enjoyed the emails you shared with your scammer, although it is very creepy to know these people are out there. I hate to think of all the people victimized by these criminals each day.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your scam experience. You are one clever and witty woman J<br /><br />Love, JannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013530919398545410.post-71471221102444445582009-08-22T08:39:53.355-07:002009-08-22T08:39:53.355-07:00Aloha, Margaret,

It's interesting that in spite of how most people now know of them, they must still be finding enough dummies to make it worth their while. I hope they catch up with your "art buyer." It would be really good if they did and made a highly publicized example of this cretin.<br /><br />You artwork continues to amaze me. It keeps getting better and better! It's good to keep evolving in one's art, and you're certainly doing it!<br /><br />The hurricane is gone (we went to the beach during the worst of it, which was a short breeze), the trades are back, it's warm, balmy and beautiful. I hope you're getting some terrific weather there, too. OR fall colors are exciting!<br /><br />Oh, I'd like to buy your home there and I've got this genuine certified cashier's check for $3.4 mil that I can send you via satellite and then you can send me the change for whatever is left over, OK? Of course, I'll need the change in cash since I'm leaving for my country place on Mars very soon, as soon as I get out of the hospital for the unfortunate hernia operation I needed when I had to drag my injured llama out of the gold-mine tunnel here in Checkoslovakia. Or is it Transylvania . . . Never could be sure. Please let me know when you have the cash ready and I will have my hit-man pick it up.<br /><br />Alo-Ha!<br /><br />SkipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013530919398545410.post-25322896094992945612009-08-22T08:39:08.283-07:002009-08-22T08:39:08.283-07:00I love it!
