    Darwinism for the 21st century: if you're too stupid to realize it's a scam, then you will become impoverished. No woman will want to marry such a loser, thus reducing the likelihood of propagating your stupid genes to subsequent generations. Just as lions cull the weak from the gazelle herd, nature takes care of us whether we know it or not.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Maybe not marraige, but certainly, plenty of women have happily given their personal ID info in hopes of getting their inheritance.  (Most of them are on Facebook).

    I have never been to an ATM that will let you withdraw 15k.
    Most only allow $300 per day.

    Karyn, just give me some info and I'll straighten things out for you.
    I'll need:
    1. Full name and address.
    2. Bank account number and routing number.
    3. Your passport and driver's license.
    4. Your mother's maiden name.
    5. 2 major credit cards.

    If I need anything else I'll contact you.

    This is why I like this place so much. The CH is just overflowing with helpful and kind hearted people like Mike. When people go out of their way to help a friend in need.......that's most certainly a friend indeed.
     
    Charity like this, just comes straight from the heart.........
    Bless his heart.

    Not entirely true.  When I still had my Am/Ex Platinum card, I could walk up to virtually any ATM and extract a LOT more than $300, however that was the usual daily limit for cash from an account.

    I Don't Know, Ken.  The Manager He Very Clearly Telled You Not To Stop Saying Nothing To Others About This.  He Even Using The Capital Letters Which Make Everything More Official.  He Couldn't Do That If This Wasn't Legitimate, Right?  He Just Had A Meeting At Headquarters, You Know.  They Resolved In Finding A Solution To Your Problem.  Their Swift Card Payment Centre Is In Europe, America, And Asia Pacific, So It Is Large.  The President, He Has Given His Orders.  

    Your Lack Of Co-Operation And Not Fulfilling The Obligations Giving To You In Respect To Your Contract /Inheritance Payment Has Now Been Compounded With Your Failure To Not Say Anything To Anyone Else About This Plan.  Continuing To Refuse Follow Directions May Consequence Your Payment.

    I wasn't sure if they use SS cards across the pond.
    But if so then yes, by all means I'll be needing that too.
