I've been getting two or three of those a day on our FAX. The number got on some list. I especially liked the one about the wealthy South African family that was killed in a auto accident and no one came forward to claim their assets.

Can you spell identity theft?

 

Wow,l if you are getting two or three a day, then you're going to be very rich soon!

 

Lets the er!

 

I have a client who stiffed me $500 on a job. I sent them his name and bank account.

 

I just got one!
