Does anybody get messages asking you to e-mail their personal account so that they can share their information "privately".  I won`t respond because they have no real information on their profile and the language used in the message is just wierd.  What are your experiences?  Are there more than a few people out there doing stuff like this here on this site?
 
This is the message I recieved.  How many of you recieved this same message?  I have changed the name and e-mail address.
 
Hello
Nice to meet you, how is everything, hope all is well with you. My name is Ann, I found your contact after reading your profile I picked interest to contact you. I`ve something very important which I would love to share with you privately, therefore, would advise you to kindly write me back on: ( lkdgf;@yahoo) so that I`ll give you details. Waiting anxiously for your anticipated corporation.
Yours, 
Ann.

Yes, I got one from Mary and asked what it was all about.  I have yet to receive a response.

Same here. They should find something better to do.

I`m still waiting to hear from some guy who told me his country isn`t allowing him to transfer large sums of money to offshore banks. I sent him all my financial information, and believe me, it took some time to get all those numbers together! In a couple of weeks, I`m going to get a cut of several million dollars, so I`ve been out looking at houses.

Yes, I received a message similar in nature. It was actually quite bizarre in tone and I deleted.

Very funny Craig!! My friend who runs a printing company gets atleast 1 call a week with some bizarre propsals. i get them in my emails alot and just delete. Now they are trying in PM boxes. I think if they put all they need to put their effort into making an honest living. They would probably be suprised at how much better it feels.

Hey Craig--
 
You should do this several times over and over.  Think of all the new friends and wealth you will have.  So many people will be coming out of the woodworks. 
 
I agree with Erin, it feels much better making an honest living.  Even if you make a million by cheating and deceit, you will likely lose all of it and end up spending time in Club Fed with some nice bars--the metal ones that go up and down in a cell instead of the ones that serve drinks.  Atleast you get three meals a day, time to work out, and don`t have to worry about paying bills.
