redeem
the good image of our country, the President has ordered the immediate
payment
of $150,000 USD each to the affected victims in accordance with the
U.N.
recommendations. Due to the corrupt and inefficient Banking Systems in

It gets worse than that. Have a look in the surplus forum. You'll see lots of these - plus they do things like target disabled people and old people and sick people. Go to the audio file - you'll see where my son (9 at the time) tells the scammer on the phone that he's just a kid - and the scammer is still trying to get him to give him money. My kid pretended to be a very sick child - and the scammer was saying to send money and then he'd send my kid a cure for his illness - - it would put him on the toilet for a while but his asthma would be gone.

Don't ever think you've seen it all. These are the lowest scumbags on the earth!

The part that I like of the below, which may make a native English speaker twig, is the new past tense form of the verb "swing". I assume the forgot the "d":
