Post by: k4kyv on August 25, 2010, 02:28:55 PM
I got this e-mail this morning. I am thankful that the Prime Minister was thinking of me at the G20 meeting.  Maybe he monitors 160-80-40 in his spare time.  Looks like I'll be able to put up that multi-tower array and 160m Rhombic after all.

Believe it or not, I know a guy here that was taken in by one of those Nigerian scam artists like that.  Ended up loosing his business and almost his wife over that.  Oh well, ole P.T. Barnum was right, there's one born every minute.

If the PM is interested in me enough to wire me that much money twice a week, maybe I can persuade him to send in troops or a bombing mission to Ethiopia to blow that %#$*@ 40m jamming station to oblivion.

I suppose some people have time on their hands. I have 1000 other things I would rather be doing.  Still, some of those stories are hilarious.

Incredibly a few fools must fall for this shit, since it is all over the net. I must get 1 or 2 emails a day. I should be right up there with Warren Buffett, with the sum total of all the money I have been granted over the past few years.
