According to MSNBC.com, this scam has netted the evil-doers 100 million dollars per year for the last ten years. It started out as a fax operation, then branched out to the Holy Grail of the internet. Lots and lots of greedy suckers out there (fishing related portion of post).

Thats funny -- me and four of my friends got the same message -- that means
together we could get 120-percent of the $8.5 million.

We'd be filthy rich!!!!

Wait a minute -- something sounds fishy...

Subject: [VFB] OT: my lucky day....famous person encounter

Hi Everybody,

My apologies for the Off Topic post but I just had to share, I'm so

excited.

I was contacted by Mck Mahabile. He is "the son of JAMES MAHABILE,
the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe." Wow. I never thought I'd have
contact with the great Mr. Mahbile or his family.

Apparently I can get 20% of $8.5 Million (US) in gemstones just by giving

him

my phone and fax number. I am quivering with excitement. Just think of all

of

the nice vises; materials; rods; and reels I could buy. Just think of all

of

the exotic trips I could take. Does Zimbabwe have fly fishing

opportunities?

Just wanted to share my lucky day.

I will now go beat myself with a stick for wasting bandwidth. Perhaps I

should

also offer Mr. Mahabile the stick as well! Now, back to tying.
