i'm not going to let it change me or the way i live my life.

i plan to invest it wisely in things i can easily get my money back out of in the future....like a 14 carat diamond encrusted medallion that says "LAZLO" (on a thick 14 carat gold rope chain).

i'm also going to buy a lifetime free pizza pass from papa johns, and have santana play at my birthday party.

:lol: and yes....rats asses for everyone!

I dunno, I've seen several scams like this. If you want to be safe. I would look in to it. My brother recieved an email a couple months back about an Uncle of ours that passed away a couple months ago. Wouldn't you know it, the guy appearantly left him some money. Not. Seems that some of the scammers like trolling the Geneology forums.

Just be smart and dont give them any of your important personal info. If they start asking for personal info and bank info.... That should be a RED FLAG. Im sure your local bank would look in to this for you.

Trade you a nice tower in the middle of France for your bridge, if that isnt of your liking I can offer you a pretty statue in NY :thumb:

Zomg lol money omg

No way this is a scam, it makes perfect sense that the guy just happened to find your email while he was browsing the web and thought giving a random guy 15 000 000 dollars was a good idea. Surely he could be trusted?

Grats on the money Lazlo :thumb:
