 		I got this one too. I think I was supposed to respond with a poem, but I wasn't feeling very poetic so I just told him my favorite color was white.

 		Heh, so we've got someone with the favorite color black, and someone with the favorite color white. If this is a chess ARG I will laugh so hard.

 		Recieved that one as well. I replied that "Beauty lies not in colors, but in their harmony." Good way to test the waters for any conflict. Wink

Would have automatically labeled it as spam but it said it was to uF people so I clicked the link. My browser told me it was an attack site so I got the f out of there instead of continuing on. Anyone else get this?

Got this earlier. Was asleep when it came in, but my phone's email client went off and woke me up. thought it was an ARG at that point, but, once I read the last bit, and noted the word choice, I'm pretty certain it's a scam.

Dear Beloved One

How are you and how about your family members? Hope all is well with them and also with you, Greeting from Ommer Veronica, God bless you for honouring my request,
I hope you are having a wonderful day and also I pray that you and your family be under the protection of God almighty.after going through your short profile and I deemed it necessary to write you immediately,
I know that my message will come to you as a surprise since I don't know you in person or met with you before but I was touched to air up my pains to you believing in you for assiting.
But let me explain myself to you before going further.I am Mrs Ommer Veronica from Congo,
I am 34 years old, but I was with my husband in Abidjan Ivory Coast before his death, I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast. By all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and my doctors have courageously advised me that I may not live beyond the next two months; this is because the cancer stage has reached a critical stage.
It maybe surprise to you that I was raised in a motherless baby's home from Congo but my late husband came visiting the home and have interest in me,

I was married to my late husband for 13 years without a child. My husband and I are true Christians, but quite unfortunately, he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business,
Since his death I decided not to re-marry,though my late husband made a deposit with a Bank here in Abidjan capital city of Ivory Coast. Presently, this money is still in their custody,the entire cash left after his burial has blown like wind because of my illness and the management of the bank just wrote me as the next of kin to come further for the money though I have been there so many times before my illness but now that I can not continue going there.
I have been asked to seek for someone who will act on my behalf or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over as a result of my illness, or they will get the account been put as unclaimed money.
But what complicated the whole issue is that my late husband left a regid agreement that this money will be handle by a foreign investor under my supervision, Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment.
I have since lost my ability to talk fluently because of illness and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see that this money is invested in any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babie's home where I was raised from since you are from outside our country it will suit my late husband's agreement with the bank.

I want a good humanitarian, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanagees and widows around the world just as I was cared for when I know nothing in a motherless baby home.I must let you know that this was a very hard decision,but I had to take a bold step towards this issue, and I hope you will help me see my last wish come true.
I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort. As soon as I hear from you I will give you the contact informations of my church pastor for you to be familiar with him as he will guild you for the sucess of this transfer since he is here present and because of my illness I will not be able to follow up things the way it should so he will direct you more even if I die he will be here to carry out my last wish with you.
Am waiting for your urgent reply
God bless you.

Mrs Ommer Veronica

What I find funny is that the email I got that on is only used in two places. Here, and Tinypic. >.>

Holy crap! I came here to report MINE and lo' and freaking behold two of you have posted it!

Last night, I was about to leave. I got an IM though, and it sort of.. captivated me. Held me in. I conversed with this person, not really knowing what to expect.

His name? Defiant.Master. The link below contains the entire transcript:

Note: My username has NOTHING to do with Zero: the number OR word.

Hello dearest f/riend, salutations and greetings. I, more than you may thing, know more about you then yourself. Don't ask why, or how. I have questions, and many of them are uncomprehendable to you. Even to myself, I do not understand them, you must understand me. I know nothing of my past, only my current self.

I don't know where I was born, where I was brought up in, or even at the matter, who am I. I live with a foster family. They are nice, but lately I have been noticing strange things in their behaviour. Not only that, but here's a thing, I also seem to note of a tall man looking at me. Who is he?

Anyway, I have come to ask for help, and this is my question, and my task. WHO AM I?1331131331?

-------------13?26?39?theobarrturas, leonardosisme?

will u help, i think times short, & the fact that things don't seem right is disturbing. i know nothing about myself, my location, or anything. i will keep updating once twitter is up

p.s. if u will help, reply with an answer for this:

number not of devil, but of sin. hated, and despised. name of the kin, but menace of luck, what is this?


What do you guys think? Looks interesting.
