So, Beowulf “Frank” Hamlet (by the way, neat name, but an odd email address),
that's a nice little scam you got going there. I send you $50 bucks from the
system you claim to have a hack for, and you'll send me back instructions.

Hmmm …

Yeah.

Right.

So, let me ponder this for a second. There's a special account at E-bullion
[2] that supposedly adds any amount to transfer to this special account back
to your account. Is this a bug that can be done only one time? Because if not
… 

I start with 1¢. Twenty “transfers” later I have $10,485.75. Sweet. And yes,
I can see E-bullion not finding out about this bug at all.

But tell you what, I got this email from Dr. Luisa Estrada, wife of the
former head of state and President of the Philippines Joseph Ejercito
Estrada, who wants help transferring $18,000,000.00 and is looking for help.

Interested?
