Anthony wants to give me 5 million United State Dollars, but:

Quote:

You are to pay a fee in the amount of $6,650.00 and once this payment is made your funds of $5,000.000.00 will be transfered to your designated account without delays.

That seems unreasonable to me so I replied:

Quote:

I'm sorry but $6,650 is too much, I think. What currency is this?

Anthony really wants me to have the money so he went, hat in hand, to various friends and even his wife and took up a collection for little ol' me:

Quote:

I got your message and was able to talk to some friends who were willing to help me on your behalf with some money and I was able to help your raise $4,200 United states dollars from friends and from my wife and also from my salary. So what is left now is for you to come up with the balance of $2,400

I'm truly touched at his generosity towards someone whose name he doesn't know. Altruistic Lads - will wonders never cease?

I like to waste some of their time bargaining, I once managed to lower it to 500$ for 8.9 million dollars

I didn't even notice. I'll have to ask him if there's someone else he can hit up for that.

Is it confederate dollars?

Tell him to send you the $4,200 so then you can consolidate the entire payment.

I am sure he will be happy to do that. I mean who would want to steal so little when millions are at stake?

That's why I asked which currency. I thought perhaps he's dealing in Indian rupees.

ETA: Anthony is nothing if not obliging. I replied:

Quote:

Nevertheless, I am interested but $2,400 is still much too high. I have many investments and business dealings that do tie up my considerable funds, so I keep very little in the way of liquid assets around. Cash doesn't make money - investments do.

I'm sure as a businessman yourself you understand my thinking. $400.00 is as high as I am willing to go at the moment.

Guess what? He hit up his wife again and she's getting the money from her boss!

Quote:

[color]Before I got your message, I had already talked to my wife on how she can help further and she said she would talk to her boss to loan her some money, but she can not promise more than $1,700. I want you to go ahead and send the $400 you have with you [color=red]

From $6500 to $400. I guess he really cares about getting the money! That sounds good to me, so I'll send the $400 by MG tomorrow.
