What's funny too is that the company is "taco bell" in Europe.. do they even have Taco Bell there? And this looks like a fill-in-the-blank spam-scam email.. for her brother for his Occasion gift? I think they were supposed to fill out an occasion for that lol

the funny thing is the nigerian scam has been going on for years, even before computers. they used to write the letters by hand..or at least adress them by hand and type it..
gotta love spam 1973 style.

Actually, it said "Taccobell", which is even worse than Taco Bell :)


I don't use Craiglist for that very reason. I stick to eBay or here on AT, and on eBay I put very specific requirements in my descriptions, if people ask to get around them or don't like them tough, don't bid. No problems yet.
