Do pigs fly? I'm sure that not even "Cayman Island Pigs" do either :twisted:
I don't even take the time reading past the first two lines anymore.
Just forward it to Paul, he'll love it!

That is a new low using a dead Sept 11 person as the bait in your scam. I guess I shouldn't expect too much from these scammers but still what a horrible thing.

Yep, I was thinking that too... I expect things like that from the scammers.

However, any typical citizen who is naive enough to take the scam at face value and doesn't mind doing what the e-mail suggests is the lowest of the low.

There must be people that fall for these, right? Otherwise, no one would try them. I wonder what their success percentage is. 0.1%? Less?

I was so annoyed when I realised that the link did you take you through to a remeberance page for 7/11 I contact the Department of Justice. I just hope someone has a spare 5 minutes and fancies teaching them a lesson.

Without the refernece to 7/11 I was have laughted but there are some very strange people out there. :twisted:

Oh yes, I read it -- for amusement purposes. Until I got to the September 11th bit -- then I was just amazed at what people will try.

Rather like the banner ad for insurance that was floating around the net in 2002 (I think). It showed a cartoon of a plane flying into a tower and then flashed to a blank screen with the words, "you never know what can happen." ...like, buy our insurance because we're unscrupulous enough to try and use a tragedy to make money.

They still have them in the south USA and I think they're also around in California...

...I didn't know they were ever in Europe! Of course, for all I know, they started in Europe. In either case, I did see one recently when I was in Florida.

Oh, a slurpee would go down so well right now.

The 7-Elevens in London were bought over by Budgens Supermarket (probably the worst grocery chain in the world) a few years ago and became "Budgens Express". The one near my friend in Crouch End (great name) London has bit the dust though so I don't know if BE's are history too.
I remember a stand up comic saying "If 7-Eleven's never close why do they have locks on the door?" :)
