Insane Rich Guy

Rich_man

Here's an e-mail I received last week from "Insane Rich Guy."

Dear lgross@whatever.com

OK, let me catch my breathe while I type this because you're not going to believe this...

First off, thank you so much for taking a minute to read this, my name is Shawn Casey, and I'm a millionaire that was dared to do something insane tonight and tomorrow morning, and if you're interested in knowing what it is then read below, but you'll need to hurry because you may only have a few minutes to take advantage of this:

As part of an insane marketing test, I'm giving away an in-depth Internet "Business-In-A-Box" today. I should be selling this for $497, but...I'm flat out giving it away. Your cost is zero... zip... zilch!

You probably think I've lost my mind - and maybe I have - but just visit this site right now and in 5 minutes you'll have this awesome $497 Internet business training kit as my gift to you. No kidding!

Grab it quick - right now - before I change my mind...

I didn’t copy the whole e-mail here, but I think you get the point.

Dear Insane Rich Guy:

I don’t know if you’re rich, but I know you’re insane. I received this nine times in one day.

Bottom line: Nothing is free. I don’t believe you, but the sad thing is others might think you’re on the level. Does it make you feel good to take money from people who don’t have it?

Please come to Cincinnati so I can personally throw you under a bus.

Cordially,

Insane Poor Guy

This junk e-mail is just one of dozens I receive weekly. Suggestion: bring back regular U.S. Postmaster mail.
