Reading that almost made my head explode. If you're going to try and pull a scam, why not actually try to do it properly?

[twojman]

Maybe you should not have gone all in with the Nigerian Prince. I guess you reap what you sow.

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

So if you pay the taxes you'll get the rest of the money right?

[CycoCyclone]

I'd turn it into the us postal inspectors

[Wesley]
