Just got this email -- can't wait to contact her & WATCH THE MOOLA ROLL IN -- Ralphie & I are on EASY STREET now!
"Dear Mr. Boston Red Sox Ralph,
We are a growing company in Czech Republic. Our business nature is wholesale in general electronics, medical equipment, agricultural area, sports items etc. We have 2 shops and several showrooms in Prague, Czech Republic.
We are looking to expand our business and want to use PayPal payment system to make the clearing process fast, easy, secure and convenient for overseas customers especially from United States. Our company believes that international relations can start a new grade in the business and result in successful and profitable mutual work.
At this time we are unable to open our own Paypal account since Paypal requires some additional verification until we become Paypal Premier Verified.
If you are looking to make additional profit we will accept you as our representative in your country. You will keep 12.5% of each deal we conduct. We plan to forward our merchandise in exchange of paypal and check payments. Your part is very important: accept funds and forward it to us. It is not a full time work but a very convenient and fast additional income. Being our agent may grow into future branch opening in your area if you are interested and the business will be on up and up. We are going to market our production on ebay and other on-line auctions, place ads in papers and develop other means of advertisement. Being our first deal together and due to the high amount of money involved, the money will be send only after the buyer has received item.
Please respond ASAP and you will get additional details on how you can become our representative. Joining us and starting business today will cost you nothing, just some extra income for you.
Sincerely,
Stephane Kurzech,
Director of STREET SPORT LTD. Marketing Dept.
P.S. We have obtained your email address from MarketingFile.com"

That reminds me of Dan Akroyd and Steve Martin as "two wild and crrrazy guys." Having read the age thread, I think there's some around that remember them!

We've all received the Nigerian email. I like to think I came up with a very good reply. I email them back, thank them for their proposition but tell them no thanks, I've already received the money.
to YOU, Stephane!
