LAST EDITED ON May-31-09 AT 04:43PM (MST)[p]i just deleted about 43 of those from my gmail account. I guess they think that if they send out enough of them, they'll sooner or later find someone gullible or mentally feeble enough to bite.

My question; Isn't this intent to defraud?...a crime?

No offense intended but where is law enforcement? This almost seems like a un-punishable crime. I say catch and prosecute these and all identity theft or faker-con/scam artists!!! They are getting better and better at stealing our money and soon it might be yours or mine!

Joey, agreed.

The $8.5 million is probably TARP money that we've already been screwed out of once. Be careful, you could get screwed twice.

Very little that law enforcement can do concerning these outright scams. Most of them are coming from foreign countries in Africal,and China, and also Russia.
Canada used to be very bad for them also until the FBI and Mounties worked together to shut down some that was preying on elderly people.
The ones from Canada were far more sophisticated and suckered many elderly people in to sending money.
