Lawson -- is this you?
 

Got the following email today from ??? Lawson II Cox. Others may have also --- I dont believe this is a real emai...........

Hello

How are you? Please I need your help.

I need to get a steam gift card for something urgent today, I can't do this now because I'm currently traveling for a 2 days trip which is time sensitive.

Please can you get it for me from any store around you? I'll repay you immediately i get back home.


LAWSON II COX

Come on -- this is not even good lawyer language.........

Ha ha, definitely a scam! ( Or Lawson has turned into quite the practical joker!)
Hope his computer hasn't been hacked.

I once got an e-mail that purported to be from the son of close friends stating he was in Russia and had been robbed of all his cash and credit cards and need me to send him $1500 so he could get back home. Of course I sent it to him, NOT. Many times I've wished for a magic button that I could push that would smoke one of these guy's computer, that would be justice.

I have received 3 similar emails but did not open any. They had come from a different but very active member. A strong "fish" smell. I believe there is a "fungus amungus" !

You can find videos of just that on youtube, poor hapless scammers getting thrashed!

I can't wait to get that "we have your grandkid in jail" phone call. I will tell them, "Good, keep him there, I always hated that little F****er!"

Best one yet . . . and maybe "I'm tired of feeding the little Bastxxd - glad the State is taking him on".

My dad received one of those calls, he just laughed and hung up!

Scammers are clever- ish.


My rule. If you lend a friend money, expect to never see it. If you do! well then they are a good friend worth keeping.
