Wow, what an opportunity! Let me know how it works out!

Hey, I just got the same e-mail.

I would have responded sooner, but my bank did not open until 9:30am and I had to stand in line to get the certified funds. I will use my portion of the proceeds to establish a "Home for Retired Inspectors" and the balance will be sent directly to Kurt for his discretion.

Hi Guys,

Sorry about that. Sometimes they slip in using aliases and then start posting messages to individual members through TIJ's internal messaging system. You don't have to worry, they don't have access to your information, it's just a royal pain figuring out who they are and then deleting them and blocking their ISP's.

We'll find him and delete him as fast as we can.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Mike

Does that mean I don't get the money?

[hausdok]

Hi Les,

Oh, you'll get it alright but it won't be money. Just send him an email and see what happens. Bwahahahahaah! [:-devil]

I just sent them my SS#, Credit Cards, bank account numbers, and power of attorney. Is that a problem. I need to know soon because I have a meeting with my broker to arrange to send them all of my stock certificates and the deed to my house.

Get Les the money, so he can send me my share.
