Ya know, I seem to be coming into a lot of cash via email these days. It is so generous of these people to track me down by my untrackable hotmail account to let me know about all this money I have lying around unclaimed. Makes me think for a minute how nice it would be if these were all true LOL. If I walked into a Western Union with this information I would look like a fool. But wait, I don't have to! All I have to do is email the Finance director of Western Union at the address provided and... hmm, what would happen then? Part of me would love to contact these people and just play along to see what kind of info they would try to get from me but I don't want to start a long chain of annoying emails when I don't respond back. They would probably request that I first send them the fees to cover each transaction of $5000.00 or something along those lines. Either way, I doubt 300,000.00 is lying around somewhere just for me. An unsuspecting gullible person would probably think "Well if all they want is a small amount of fees and I am going to get 300.000.00 in return then why not spend money to get money." Only to find out that they will never see that money. It happens every day.

I personally know someone who was the victim of an online money scam. She has agreed to give me an interview of sorts describing how she was scammed, what happened as a result of the scam, and how the whole ordeal made her feel. Check back tomorrow to see her story.
