Now all you need to do is hand over your social-security and a few other papers so Umbana Azbecwi can steal your identity and sell it.:up:
 
my identity is already stolen, you can't recycle a stolen identity.

What if you stole it back?

Only to lose it on another fluke 'lottery victory' aka Umbana's brother.:o

It's usually because a family member's millions are tied up, and only your gracious donation can save their family's monetary heritage, and restore dignified honor to their household.

W/ 3rd rate plots like that, how could you not send the money?

In this case, they want to give YOU money.

Play along. Give them what they want. Your millions will come.:)

Ah, good. You were starting to sound sane for the last few posts and I was disoriented.

Sanity cloaked in the veil of metaphorical references.

It make for crazy speak.​

i have a twin brother, he steals my identity all the time :up:
 
Only because you're trapped in the same body.

When you blink, the sibling takes over and vice-versa.

 
E-mail them back asking for details about their organization. Check with the official lottery board (if you have one in England) and business bureau to see if they exist and how long they have existed.
 
grammatical errors as well as a lack of a post code (which is required by all addresses in the uk evenif it's a p.o. box address) shows it's not something i should really bother about...

besides, its only money, i'd probably give it all away anywho, try and buy my way into heaven and all...

:up:
