In a very smoothly prepaired pitch (IBC) International Biographical Centre, Cambridge England has informed me:

That I could be published as one of the 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century. A case bound Grand Edition book available at US $295.00. An Oustanding Intellectual of the 21St. Centrury Diploma, in three colors for another mere $295.00 and sure enough a silver finished, engraved Intellectuals 21st. Century metal....yep that's worth $295.00 too. You can actually put these three together for a three bag home run for just $825.00.

This is the smoothest skam I have seen come across my desk.
Geese I hope they don't see this post. I might get trashed for making this post.

It's a freaking skam all the way. Only thing I can not figure out is where they got my name or the indication that I was a potential sucker........OOPS!!! potential outstanding intellectual of the 21st. Century.

Should you know of a really good skam to what better use than posting it here could you think of...?

The winter months are arriving at more places than good 'ole BP.com. :))))

How's about the Michigan bank that keeps losing my account number due to a computer failure? Or the Danish Lottery that I keep winning. LOL The scary thing is for every million or so emails they send a couple suckers do get sucked up & scammed. So they keep right on trying.

This reminds me of a phone call yesterday, and it's somewhat pumpkin related. About two weeks ago there was a feature article about me and my pumpkin growing in the local paper. It was fun, and some of it was true. Anyway... yesterday I get a call from an outfit in Florida. They want to mount my feature in a huge mahogany frame and send it to me for $295 or something like that.

No thanks...

Great site to run email scams thru here--->http://www.scamomatic.com/

I also received the Lottobot one, ran it thru the scam scanner and learned a lot. Give it a try.

Cliff, Now if it was the real red oak pine frame with the dark card board backing and the small gold nails for hanging then It might have been a deal. Oh and the wallet size picture with the magnet backing so you can stick to your frig also.lol
