Uncle Abdul

[Rocky]

I just received an email from my long lost uncle Abdul in Nigeria telling me that I've come into a huge inheritance from a relative and if I will send him $1000.00 for legal expenses, along with my bank account number, he will transfer the money to my account right away.
I can't wait to do that

I received one of those some years back, and a couple of more as well, concerning money from a Bill Williams (he was an old actor and I'm sure that's how they got the name) with the same line of bull. I wrote back telling them that "my old uncle Bill had passed away, and that he always said that he'd leave me his estate". I told them to please call my accountants at the firm of "Dewey, Cheatum and Howe" to arrange the transfer of funds. Then, I offered to sell them the Brooklyn Bridge at a very exorbitant price. No more contact from them. When the other offers came in, I referred them to the contact person at the First National Bank of Nigeria, who's name I was given by the first bunch...................they never got back to me either, can't understand why!!
Looks like I'm destined to be destitute......................Jim

BTW, I know who actor Bill Williams is.
I've seen him in lots of movies back in the day.

Do you remember him in an old motorcycle racing movie (as such, in the 50's) named: "The Speed That Thrills", or something similar?
The "village idiot" does go back a way: Jim

I, too, remember Bill Williams.

I remember Williams in many movies and on TV, but I can't name any of them now.

Oh, well, if it's ever on an "oldies" channel, give it a look, but remember, it was the 50's and bikers were looked on as a different "breed" back then. I know, I was around in those days..............................of course, I was a mere child at the time (seriously)!

It's sad that some people actually fall for these scams. But that said, some of these questionable people are very good a conning people. Shame on them

And the 50's were a great time to be a kid growing up.
