    Wow! Can't wait to pick it up. All I gotta do is go to any Western Union office to pick up my check of $10,000 sent to me by the Nigerian Government / World Bank. I can finally afford to buy some new T-Shirts now.

      Hey - this is only the first payment of a total of $250,000. I hope you have a Western Union office close by since I'd be glad to let you pick up one of the checks and keep it for yourself. You're welcome.

        Oh come on! That's 0.128 cents each! And it'll take him forever to write all those cheques... :laugh:

              $10,000 is enough for a contract on Justin Beiber, that would be something we would all benefit from!

                        yes, but someone of us would have to deal with him - at least until he never sings again. And that's a big risk. I' suggest to get 50% of the money for that risk. regards Torsten

                            I actually know someone who got scammed by someone sending them two $1000 money orders that they had to cash then send $1800 back through Western Union "to check that Western Union was doing their job" or some such. Even though the bank took the money orders and deposited them (they were bogus), the person was still liable. Note this person says they checked with the bank as to the validity of the money orders. Needless to say the person had all sorts of problems.

                                They were lucky in one respect, they had an account in another bank, because the first bank closed both checking and savings as there was fraud on the account. Remember I said the bank took the money orders even after they were asked if the money orders were okay, but they did all sorts of dumb things in the next few days. The person missed a day of work trying to get it settled.

                                  That's why I won't take money from anybody. In fact, just to prove it, send me a check for $10,000 and see how I don't try to cash it.

                                    That would be fraud. If I had $10,000 I would not be working here. :laugh: (Yes I would, but I would take a vacation.)
