If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

Wait a minute! Are you trying to tell me these guys say the car is in the UK and I send them the money and they never ship it? Isn't that against the law or something? Next thing you'll try to tell me is that I'm never going to get the $32 million from the estate of the former oil company purchasing agent in Nigeria that died in a plane crash and left one of his assistants stuck with the money in an account with no way to get it out. I was planning to use that money to go on the honeymoon of all honeymoons with this absolutely gorgeous chick that lives in Volgograd or something like that who is going to use the money I sent her for an airplane ticket to come over here and marry me as soon as the U.S. State Department approves her visa.

You just wait. You're going to be SO sorry you were distrustful of these guys. Besides, the guy in Nigeria had several people who vouched for him and they must all know one another because they all had the same url. Come to think of it, so did the dude with the car and my fiancee. I better not find out one of these guys has been putting the blocks to somebody close to me.

Having waaaaay too much fun with this. Back in the barrel.
