"Ben" also needs to go back to school as he left out some words.
They also got carried away with "next of" (don't know about you but have no idea what my next of occupation is going to be). I also like the tell phone number - don't most here call them telephone numbers?
Have you shown this to the police?
Thanks for the heads up/reminder.

Looks like an updated version of the Ethopian Prince wanting to hide is money in your account for a few days while he escapes being murdered and will give you a percentage of it after all is said and done, only if you give him your account number, yadda yadda.

I haven't seen this one, but get the 10 million dollars left in the bank...etc etc and this bank man wants to put it in my account..etc etc. Get this one often, every few months. Always a different name.
I only tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth to about 3 people...my doctor, my lawyer, and the income tax man.
Others who question me...I'll probably answer them. Depending on my mood, I might even tell them the truth, or whatever shades of the truth I think they should know or might find most interesting.
For instance, my neighbor moved out and the owner (unknown to the neighborhood) is remodeling the place and left his car in front of my house over the last weekend and went home in his wife's car.
Having a strange car in front of MY house has generated a lot of carefully worded questions from almost friends...I'm having fun with this. Having been a widow for well over 4 years.....
