Isn't it reassuring that the ' Director of Delivery' of 'All American Courier' has a Philippines Yahoo email address...

Sure, I think you can trst them. When you give them your national identety number and bank deposit numbers make extra carful that they are acurate. You don't want a mistak when they deposet all that monee in you're bank.


Disclamer: The accuracy of the email you received will not be confirmed by any known US or US State government agency.

Now that I think about it, we should probably use the buddy system to check this out, so here's Steed credit card number and buy yourself a ticket. Put yourself down for a pint (or two) while your at it. Buy one for Herr-Berr too.

Jim, you really need to play it safe on this and I'm here to help. I'll take care of this. If it's legit, I'll collect and deposit in your bank account. Just to be safe, you probably should email me your account numbers instead of posting them here.

Your trusted friend,

Armistead

When reading this topic I got an Deja Vú, haven't we discussed this before?

If I'm not wrong someone among you would receive some suitcase containing money or something.

But maybe I'm wrong
