...Or does he just not pay any attention to what I write? I responded to a letter in the Surplus section from a Jim Hopewell as follows:

I wrote:

Dear Mr. Jimothy Hopwell,

Thank you for your offer. However, I must ask, how did you find me? I am not an easy person to find. One time I played hide and seek with these other kids and they looked for hours and hours and couldn't find me. Eventually they gave up, but I didn't realize it, so I stayed in my hiding spot for over two days before a family of squirrels started gnawing on me and I figured I should leave. Needless to say, I was quite cramped when I got up.

I am probably willing to help you. However, I must know first that you are legitimate. Do you have any proof that you are who you say you are? I heard once that someone got involved with a lotto scam online. This person went to Nigeria to receive the lotto money that he won and ended up getting killed by a pack of twelve cyborg African river penguins that could shoot lasers out of their butts.

Sincerely,
Don Hertzfeldt

I didn't expect him to respond, as surely he wouldn't take someone who mentions cyborg African river penguins with butt lasers seriously, but he did.

Dear Don,
Thanks for your reply to my email. I want to assure you that the business is legit. This is not the kind of lotto described in your male. All you have to do is to adher strictly to my advise so that we can pursue the claim together.

Kindly send the required information to me so that I can commence with the processing of the claim at once.As soon as I receive the required information I will call you on phone so that we can rub minds together on how to go about this transaction.

I am waiting for the information.

Jim.

Wow. He doesn't even bother to deny the existence of penguins in Africa. Surprised

Well, there are penguins in Africa, although I somehow doubt that they can shoot lasers out of their butts Laughing

I think he wants to have phone sex with you. Laughing

Hahahaha, he still refuses to answer how he found me. XD Look at this:

Quote:

Dear Don,

I would like to know why you are harping or insisting on knowing how I found you or that you are a very difficult person to find. I guess how I found you should be the least thing you can bother about in this transaction. Please send the required information if you are interested in the transaction. I really would not like to talk about how I found you again and I expect that you will respect that wish.

Jim..

(The truth is, he didn't find me; I responded to an e-mail from the Surplus forum.)

I once asked a lad if xxxx had given me his details, then I proceeded to tell him that I never speak with xxxxxx etc etc, but he still wouldnt tell me that's where he got my details from. They seem to have a problem with this question, even if you make it easy for them.

Heh, I should slap him for making such a filthy suggestion.
