  <description>I have an old e-mail account that is more of a giant spam net these days than a working account, though there are still a few things that come through to it that are somewhat important...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, along with a possible job opportunity &amp; some genuine notifications, was this little beauty:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Mr Thabo Mbeki the former South Africa President. Sir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In confident can I Invest a total of $150M in your company. Please if interested this should be 100% risk free and there should be a total confidential transaction.

  <title>Hi Jeff... Per Your Last E-mail</title>
  <link>https://waitingman.dreamwidth.org/658425.html</link>
  <description>Catching up on &amp; clearing out the e-mail accounts from the last 2 weeks, this little gem cropped up in the inbox of the accout that I only keep for a couple of things, as it&apos;s become a spam-magnet with occasionally interesting results...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;My name is Jeff Bezos, an American technology entrepreneur, investor,&lt;br /&gt;and charity Donations. I&apos;m the founder, CEO and president of&lt;br /&gt;Amazon.com, Inc. I believe strongly in giving while living’ I had one&lt;br /&gt;idea that never changed in my mind ? that you should use your wealth&lt;br /&gt;to help people and i have decided to give $2.500,000.00 Two&lt;br /&gt;Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, to randomly selected&lt;br /&gt;individuals worldwide. On receipt of this email, you should count&lt;br /&gt;yourself as the lucky individual. Your email address was chosen online&lt;br /&gt;while searching at random. Kindly get back to me at your earliest&lt;br /&gt;convenience, so I know your email address is valid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can visit this: &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos&quot;&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do make sure you provide me with your complete information below, so&lt;br /&gt;that I will forward it to my selected payout bank for disbursement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Name:&lt;br /&gt;Country:&lt;br /&gt;City:&lt;br /&gt;Age:&lt;br /&gt;Occupation:&lt;br /&gt;Sex:&lt;br /&gt;Mobile/Tel:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply Back For More Information: jefferyprestonbe3@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Mr Jeffrey Preston Bezos Billionaire&lt;br /&gt;CEO of Amazon&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do like that his job description includes the title &apos;Billionaire&apos;... &amp; that he uses a gmail address&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does make me wonder how many people would be gullible enough to fall for this. Once upon a time I wouldn&apos;t have thought very many - but with what I&apos;ve seen in the last few years... I have no doubt there&apos;ll be more than enough&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=waitingman&amp;ditemid=658425&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
