BillyVance 35 #1 August 11, 2009 Have somehow gotten into my pager! It all started with a BB Messenger request to be added from PIN # 2487D7A1. I try to see if the name is attached. "JB" is all that shows. I decline. An hour later I get the same request. I decline it again. After the 3rd request, I fire off a PIN message to JB: "I would like to know who you are before I accept. "JB" isn't enough info. Thanks." Then I get this reply: "My name is Jason Boyd, a lawyer by profession. The reason why am contacting you is because I had a late client from your country who died in vehicle accident with the wife last three years. Actually before his death, I escorted him to London on a business. While on the trip we visited his only sister here in London. Am writing to you because my late client had deposited some amount of money in a Security Company before his death, the content of the consignment containing the fund was falsely declared as family valuables for security and economic reasons. The total money he deposited is US$19,500,000.00. The need for contacting you is that after all effort to locate his only sister in London failed and in order not to allow the money to be forfeited for nothing, I have contact the company where the fund is kept and have requested for the proceed of releasing or shipping the money to my client next of kin to a closer destination where you and I can meet and receive the fund. The Security Company have agreed to make the shipment but are requesting for the relative's particulars and address to enable them authorize the change of ownership before making shipment or releasing the consignment. Am writing to know if you can be able to assist me in this transaction, we will share the money 35% for you, 55% for me and 10% will be used to offset expenses incurred on this process. The deceased was staying in South Africa with the family, I have all the documents to back up the claim, including the deceased death certificate issued in South Africa by the Department of Home Affairs. Am ready to meet you at a preferred closer destination as soon as possible to receive the money. Looking forward to your urgent phone call or reply and note that I will soon be departing from London. Regards, Jason Boyd" All I replied with was this: "Leave me alone. I know a scam half a world away, douchebag." Sorry, that's about as creative as I want to get, but so far, no further crap from him. But hey, if you BB owners have time to waste, go ahead and send him some crap.
