Howdy-doo all. Wow! I never knew there was a community of people having as much fun as I am! My family and I own a printing business which also deals with copiers, etc. We get a lot of e-mails trying to scam us (and phonecalls using relay services for the deaf which ended about a year ago)

Here's a little diddy from a little whiles back.

Flora,

Not a problem! As long as you aren't quarantined I can meet you at the hospital and we can talk deal. All I need to know is which hospital and room number you are situated in and you can choose what you like and sign me a check!

So why are you in the hospital? Complications? I hope everything is ok!

That's fine, it's probably better if our agent meets with you. We'll be able to get the parts directly to him and then to you where he will discuss pricing, payment, and shipping options. In a case like this we do not ship until we recieve either cash or certified check.

Hello Rolando,

Thanks again for your email but as I earlier said, I dont have access to phones because of my condition. All my transactions are through email or ymsgr. If you can handle this let your agent whover it maybe to email me with this id: flora_wrightt99@@yahoo.com.sg. I will prerfare the shipping by air (Usps/fedEx). Let him check for the parts and pricing. My payment would be with my Visa card.
Let me know on how to proceed.

Thanks,
Ms. Wright.

If you can provide an address of where my agent can meet with you, there are some forms you will need to sign as well as credit card verification. A certified check will make the process go faster.

Rolando,
How are you today, I hope great? I will issue you an authorisation letter to charge my credit card ok. I surgest sending your agent is not the best way. I can provide a fax # where you can fax me the form, I will sign and fax it back to you i think that will be not be stressful for both of us.
Please get back to me asap.

Thanks,
Ms Wright.

What a moron! She kept trying to contact you? Did she think that you were going to forget? She could have at least changed her name or something.

Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 10:10 pm

Each time she re-contacted a different e-mail address was used. I'm even guessing there are several 'Flora Wrights.'
