Our Fiend Raynaz, whose exploits are too many to enumerate here, has most recently engineered Things of the Earth are Canal and Donald Mike Redux. Naz has plenty of time to devote to the Lads. This is short but worth including - the "I've been mugged" format deserves its own Digest.
My friend "Ima" [name changed] sends me stuff all the time, so I wasn't surprised to get another mail. What did surprise me was the content!

Hi, I`ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and my return flight leaves anytime from now but I`m having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills. Am freaked out at the moment and need help. Ima Googling on "actually made a quick travel" produced about 2300 results. The first three pages (as far as Scamorama bothered to read) were all this same 'format'. The senders had mostly been 'mugged' in London or Spain. Rita (aka Naz)
(Of course, I sent an immediate reply...) Ima! When did you go to London? Oh, my dear, of course I'll help you, what do you need? Love, RitaIma

Let me know if you are heading to the Western Union outlet ASAP.Sorry for the inconveniences. Ima Note: The money could be picked up at any branch, by anyone with 'ID'. Rita (aka Naz)
Ima, I will go to Western Union in an hour or so, I have to wait until Pappy gets back from the dentist, he was having troubles with his wisdom teeth. I kept telling him that he didn't need them, he never had any wisdom anyway, and 4 rotting teeth aren't going to help him! So he had them pulled, and now he's acting like they cut off his arms and legs, the big crybaby--well, you know him! As soon as I fix him some soup, I'll be able to go to the Western Union. That's all I can do. Love, Rita Ima
X-Originating-IP: [203.55.231.100] Thanks for the help, I will be waiting for the confirmation as soon as it done. But that was the end of it. Maybe somebody else caught on, and busted him... |
