Hey all -
To my pleasant surprise, I just received this email today:
------------------------ Frode B. Nilssen <frode.nilssen@ks.no> Wed 5/3/2017 4:47 AM Frode B. Nilssen (frode.nilssen@ks.no)
£3m Donated to You, Email me on mr.harold91@gmail.com -------------------------
Now, 3 million pounds is roughly 3.8 million dollars. Needless to say, I have not been able to contain my excitement since this morning.
I'm ready to respond back to Mr. Nilssen - however before I did that, I needed some advice.
Does anyone here have any experience receiving large donations like this?
Do I need to contact a tax attorney first to see if donations qualify for a favorable tax qualification?
It appears that this very kind gentleman is from Norway.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Frode is actually a pretty good friend of mine, I can vouch for his millions of pounds and his overall generosity.

Hey Porr,
I hope this this is a true blessing for you, but do you know this person emailing you?? Unfortunately, it could be a scam. Do not give him any account information!!
If you think this is really legit, contact an investment lawyer and proceed to plan your future before collecting your winnings. It will be there, if it is true, until you collect it.
Have you checked the internet to see if this is a scam??
I hope for only a blessing of a boon for you my Wolf Brother. Proceed cautiously!!
\V/ Live Long and Prosper!!!

Thank you for your responses and it's comforting to know that he is Ton's close, personal friend. The thing that gives me pause however, is his name. Frode. Why would anyone's parents name their kid Frode? C'mon mang!? I mean, if you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings, then name them 'Frodo'. Frode could easily be mispronounced as 'fraud'. This poor guy (he's rich - but poor in the other sense), was probably teased and bullied mercilessly through high school.

He might have made a mistake, maybe it's "Freund", and that would actually make sense. Not like in amig0's case, who kills you mercilessly.

I get these from time to time and often on craigslist when I'm selling scout/truck parts. I use this standby reply:
"Hello! I am a Nubian Prince and will make this exchange through my offshore accounts to insure your funds are received safely and timely. Please respond soonest with your preferred bank routing number and SSN. I look forward to working with you."
I've never gotten a taker.

Ugh... Maybe I can send him a bottle of nair (as rebate) for his generous gift. I'll add that offer to Scout's proposed reply.

Not gonna lie, this seems like an easy way to set up a RAT (Remotely Activated Trojan.) They could have easily made it so it started a download for their RAT on your computer when you opened the Email. Who knows, your computer might be part of a huge BotNet

Who knows, your computer might be part of a huge BotNet You'd need to open an attachment to trigger running the trojan program, mang. Simply viewing email texts don't do anything from a RAT perspective - if it did, we'd in the middle of a large pandemic - and smoke signals and carrier pigeons would be back in business. !pip jojo

I received an email yesterday that my PayPal account got closed for violating their terms and ... ummm... "policy". I've got to give these guys a 'D-' for effort. C'mon mang!?! At least get a native English-speaking person to vastly improve your chances. Also, get a better email addy, fellas. I give them an 'A' for the "Trusted Sender" gif, though.

I got this email today. I've got to say, I am so thankful to "Apple" to let me know that my account is locked - and even provide me a way to unlock it. They even warn me that in the site to unlock the account, after I enter my personal identity, I will have "multiple unsuccessful attempts to unlock my account". But no fear, I can try again tomorrow. Woohoo! V57!!
