IN A COUNTRY OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL TRANSFER AND INVEST THIS MONEY?IN THINGS

BE TRANSFERED TO

I just got a message from a AmyH, sent me some links, I believe them to be naughty as the websense blocked them. I feel a little special, ok, it was sent to a few other people, but this is a first for me, well, in a personal message on a forum  [;)]

I couldn't see it she was hot or not, the link didn't bring anything up  [;)]

So could you end up getting 5% of a good few million as well then  [;)]

For some reason they must think that I will fall for it if they tell me that someone with the same surname has died and I could try and claim their millions  [::)]
Someone even tried using the same story on me  [???] duh

How did it all go Neil  [:X]
