Best Email scams....

[Malice]

I have always found these interesting...Email scams.
Scams where they email you something, that requires a "deposit" or "good faith money"

I know you all have gotten them....what are your favorites?

My next door neighbor actually got Snail Mail saying he won the lotto in Canada.
After digging thru it, we found the phone number was a CELL PHONE located in Nova Scotia...

NOTE, we live in Houston Texas...quite a far distance from Canada

I found it funny.

What a pile of poo.

I got this from a friend

NEWS FLASH:

Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in Venezuela to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout the Americas .

Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him. It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA , due to the recent publicity of ownership by Chavez of Venezuela
Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE CHAVEZ IS STARTING TO FEEL THE LOSS OF REVENUE FROM HIS HOLDINGS. HE OWNS CITGO. This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY: CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAS STARTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO "PETRO EXPRESS". DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! "PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

BOYCOTT "CITGO" AND "PETRO EXPRESS"
MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE IN YOUR E-MAIL LIST
IN THE UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF AMERICA

its false, its a company us company entirely....I found it funny
