I just have to share this crazy e-mail I received the other day, as I really can't figure it out. :?::?: :lol:

Read and laugh/cry:

hi,

my name is xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, and i'm from the UK.

i have a few ultra-exclusive globally brandable domain names for sale, including 's-t-r-e-t-c-h.com' which is selling for up to £1million pounds ($1,940,000 dollars). what i'm offering is *anyone* around the world the chance to earn 25% of that - nearly $500,000 dollars.

all they've got to do is list it on ebay, promote it on radio, sell it to any billionaire friends, even pose nude in front of the statue of liberty, go on 'jay leno'/'today' ..in other words, do whatever to get attention! if they're the person the buyer gets in touch with, i'll give them 25% of the sale fee ..and that final sale price could go *much* higher.

this is not a joke. i have been long-term unemployed and can't afford to list/promote it myself, so i'm putting something on the table for *anyone* who'll help me get back some pride and dignity.

if you know anyone who wants that cool $1/2million bucks, go right ahead and s-t-r-e-t-c-h your imagination! i've attached a pdf listing the domains to this email.


best wishes,

xxxxx xxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx, uk


mobile/cell: +xx (x)xxxx xxxxx

Me posing nude in front of the Statue of Liberty would actually do damage to the sale. :)

That's actually quite funny but I'm wondering why people don't believe in capital letters anymore?

"This is not a joke" a.k.a. "This is a joke / scam".

If there is anyone who could sell that for $2m - they would deserve $3m in commission!!!
